I can’t even get a text back
His name is Bapurao Tajne. This is the worst drought they’ve had in decades but the higher caste villagers said his family weren’t allowed to use the town well because they’re Dalit, a lower caste and deemed “untouchable”.
On top of being a day labourer he spent 40 days digging, and without any form of surveying technology or experience he hit water.
“I don’t want to name the well owner for I don’t want bad blood in the village. However, I feel that he insulted us because we are poor and Dalits. I came home that day in March and almost cried.”
“It is difficult to explain what I felt in those days. I just wanted to provide water for my whole locality so that we Dalits did not have to beg for water from other castes.”Thank you so much for adding this. I grabbed this off Twitter and didn’t know much about this.
