It was an honour to host and discuss the remarkable movie "Chaityabhoomi" with director Somnath Waghmare, and Sushant Inderjeet Singh | Lawyer 🇮🇳 at SOAS University of London. The movie truly shows Dalit assertion in a way never seen before and it empowers us Ambedkarites to show our stories through new forms. Jai Bhim!

Global Ambedkarite Scholars Association (GASA) presents Amedkarite meet-up in London. 12 years ago efforts and the vision of surajyengde and Srikant for a collective growth, we stand on the foundation they laid. Let's follow in the footsteps of Babasaheb Ambedkar and our community elders. 📚✊ #JaiBhim
