Dalits in Punjab have been deprived of land and resources, and face brutal repression when they protest against this injustice. With no hope from political parties, they are organising to challenge the status quo.
Sangrur, Punjab: We travel to Sangrur, Mansa and Barnala districts of Punjab where Dalits are fighting against upper caste farmers and organising to take control of the land that they are entitled to.
