The Launch of “Widow Warrior: The Cause That Shaped My Life” by Lord Raj Loomba

New Delhi [India] October 21: Picture this: a young boy in a small Punjabi town, part of a joyous family of seven siblings, basking in the warmth of doting parents. But tragedy strikes and life takes a dramatic turn. With the passing of his father, Raj Loomba witnesses firsthand the deep sorrow and social isolation that envelops his mother, now a widow at the tender age of 37. This personal heartbreak planted the seed of a lifelong mission—a mission that would one day change the lives of millions across the globe.

Lord Raj Loomba’s newly launched book, “Widow Warrior: The Cause That Shaped My Life,” is an evocative memoir that chronicles this remarkable journey—a story of compassion, struggle, and the power of belief. It offers readers not only a gripping narrative of a small-town boy who ascended to the upper echelons of wealth and power in the United Kingdom but also a deeply moving account of his campaign to eradicate the stigma surrounding widowhood.

Lord Loomba’s journey to confront the injustice is both a personal homage to his mother and a global call for change. His charity, The Loomba Foundation, has touched hundreds of thousands of lives, but the true pinnacle of his success was securing the United Nations’ declaration of June 23rd as International Widows Day—a landmark moment in the fight against widow discrimination.

“This is not just my story” says Lord Raj Loomba “It is the story of millions of women who have been invisible for too long. Widow Warrior is a beacon of hope—a reminder that change is possible, no matter how entrenched the problem seems”

The memoir’s release comes at a time when the themes of justice, equality, and empowerment are more relevant than ever. With endorsements from political figures, business leaders, and social activists worldwide, “Widow Warrior” is destined to become a vital piece of literature—one that inspires readers to look beyond personal success and embrace the call to serve a higher cause.
