Creation and innovation sit at the crux of Dalits’ secret to survival

This is our time. I want us to believe in the fate of history and its important effort in shaping our lives. The uncompromising work of the great people that remained stead in the midst of callous atrocities and unrelenting attacks on their dignity and stature has much to offer to our burnt souls. The times that we are bearing witness to is an assault on that hope. I want us to look at the most vulnerable bodies living in these pessimist times.
