Visa Extension of Frederick Shulze-Buxloh denied

Frederick, an 85-year old German national who was among the first to be admitted as an Aurovilian by the Mother and who has been living in and working for Auroville for over 60 years, was denied the extension of his visa and has been requested to leave India.

Deeply dismayed, concerned residents have issued a humble appeal to the relevant authorities to reconsider these decisions so that Frederick is allowed to remain in India, which he calls the country of his soul.
