Cobbler journalist: Dalit starts his own journal
What happens when you want someone to tell your story but no one is listening? You start your own mouthpiece! That's what a Dalit man, Suresh Nanmehar, was forced to do. He is a cobbler and also brings out a newspaper that addresses Dalit issues. In 2003 cobblers, most of who are Dalits protested for almost a month demanding better facilities. It was an event ignored by the local media, something this man vowed wouldn't happen again.
