Checkout Robin Singh’s new book: https://www.amazon.in/dp/0143474073 We live in a world where animals scream and we scroll. Where kindness feels naïve. And happiness? A marketing campaign. In this episode, Robin Singh — the man behind Peepal Farm, India’s most honest animal rescue and vegan farm — talks about: 🐄 Why empathy is dying (and why we let it) 🌱 What real happiness looks like beyond consumerism 🔥 How kindness can be rebellion in a cruel world 💭 The spiritual emptiness behind “doing good” for social media ❤️ And why saving animals might just be saving ourselves. In this deeply stirring episode of Kindness with Amy, we sit down with the visionary co-founder of Peepal Farm, Himachal Pradesh, a sanctuary born not out of charity, but out of rebellion against indifference. Peepal Farm stands as a living testament to compassion in action — rescuing, healing, and giving forgotten animals a second chance at life while urging society to question its own moral compass. Robin’s journey is not one of instant enlightenment, it’s one of breaking, unlearning, and rebuilding.

What began as a search for purpose became a revolution of empathy. In this conversation, 𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐦𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐬𝐡𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐝 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞, 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐡𝐚𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐞𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐚𝐢𝐫𝐲 𝐢𝐧𝐝𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐲 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐦𝐨𝐬𝐭 𝐫𝐞𝐟𝐮𝐬𝐞 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐞𝐞, and his conviction that true hope cannot exist without facing the darkness first. 💬 “अंधेरा डिफॉल्ट है, पर दिया जलाना कहां मना है।” — “𝐃𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐝𝐞𝐟𝐚𝐮𝐥𝐭, 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐰𝐡𝐨 𝐬𝐚𝐢𝐝 𝐰𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐧’𝐭 𝐥𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐚 𝐥𝐚𝐦𝐩?” This piercing reflection defines Robin’s philosophy, that kindness is not naïve optimism, but an act of defiance. He reminds us that the world’s cruelty isn’t reason enough to stop caring; it’s the very reason we must care harder. Through this unfiltered conversation, Robin dismantles the comforting myths we hide behind — from the glorified idea of “𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐥 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐮𝐦𝐩𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧” to the illusion of progress that masks our moral decay. He speaks of 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐡𝐮𝐦𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲, 𝐢𝐧 𝐢𝐭𝐬 𝐩𝐮𝐫𝐬𝐮𝐢𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞, 𝐡𝐚𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐠𝐮𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐝𝐞-𝐞𝐯𝐨𝐥𝐯𝐞, 𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨𝐮𝐜𝐡 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐞𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐲 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲. Yet, amidst this decay, he offers something radical the idea that purpose matters more than happiness. That we must keep showing up for good, even when it no longer feels rewarding. His words cut deep, exposing the 𝐩𝐡𝐢𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐨𝐩𝐡𝐲 𝐨𝐟 𝐬𝐮𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐚𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬, 𝐛𝐮𝐭 𝐚𝐬 𝐭𝐰𝐢𝐧𝐬, inseparable forces that guide every act of meaningful change.
