Stars Shine in Darkness: A Journey from Refugee to Refuge is an unflinchingly honest and poignant memoir charting the compelling life journey of Raveen Arora, a 2021 Nobel Peace Prize nominee, from the overwhelming darkness of post partition Calcutta (now Kolkata) India to the beckoning opportunities and shining lights of the modern American West.
Born in servant quarters and raised in a very modest refugee household, Arora's core values of empathy, kindness, multiculturalism, and compassion were nurtured by his teachers in school, family, early iconic mentors, influencers and Nobel laureates like Mother Teresa, Martin Luther King, Jr, and the Dalai Lama.
Arora's unstoppable, transformational, and inspirational life journey through his deeply personal lens is a reservoir of leadership insights, resilience, triumph of human spirit over adversity and a lifelong quest to transcend from failures and turn hope into a compass.
Arora's work with Mother Teresa's charities, Tibetan and Bangladeshi refugees as a young adult served as a rocket fuel to ignite the decisive trajectory of his life.
A lifetime of trailblazing humanitarian actions led to his Think Human initiative and Nobel Peace Prize nomination.
