Roshani was a Professor of Political Science at the University of Oregon, Eugene, USA when she visited Rajneeshpuram. In her academic position, Roshani became an advocate of Osho and Rajneeshpuram, speaking up in the face of the unrelenting criticism and hatred being fostered by the media. In this episode, Roshani talks about her role as a historian in the Osho movement, her publications, what’s missing in the debate around Osho today and the incredible life story of her son Tarun.
