Rooted in stories. Driven by ideas.
Roots & Revolution is a podcast and conversation platform hosted by Mohd Salahuddin Qazi.
A simple question
What happens when we create space for people to talk—not just about what they do, but about what they think, what they have experienced and what they have learned?
The podcast explores conversations around education, society, culture, heritage, faith, leadership, youth, technology, personal journeys and questions that shape our communities.
Its roots are in Kishtwar, Jammu & Kashmir, but its conversations are not limited by geography.
Our Philosophy
Listen.
Give people space to tell their stories.
Question.
Move beyond assumptions and easy answers.
Connect.
Bring individual experiences into conversations about society and the world around us.
Why “Roots & Revolution”?
Roots represent identity, memory, culture, community and the experiences that shape us.
Revolution represents questioning, learning, changing and imagining something better.
The two ideas belong together. You cannot understand where we are going without understanding where we come from.
Who we talk to
Educators, researchers, lawyers, scholars, writers, artists, religious scholars, entrepreneurs, social workers, professionals, young people and unsung local personalities.
The purpose isn't simply to interview people. It is to understand them.
