- Опубліковано 8 вер 2024
- In his book 'Dalit Kitchens of Marathwada', Marathi writer Shahu Patole chronicles the culinary history of the marginalised Dalit communities and how living in dire poverty has led the community to develop their own food culture and recipes. We follow him through his village where he and his family share experiences of discrimination while preparing their afternoon meal.

Im Mahar too, family moved to Chhattisgarh a couple generations ago. They say it was because we were chased off and the land we owned was seized. My family is doing good now. Grateful for the constitution.
This happened with most dalits in India
Which is ur native place? east vidarbha
Same thing happened to my grandfather they left Pune and settled in Nanded
Babasaheb chi Krupa
Dalits had similar painful past just like blacks in america
But we should grow more and be successful
Dalit kitchens of Marathwada is a historical book document written by a dalit writer in his book readers understand what type of food and diet dalit community takes. My best wishes for this book and author and thanks for BBC for highlight the book Dalit Kitchens Of Marathwada. Thanks
I feel lesser proud of my culture now, to see this difference that exsisted in the past
But my family also ate wild plants, because we were not rich, in odisha
6:58 “ No matter what you eat, you will remain in the same caste”!! The Sad truth. Well said sir 🙏👍
Yes Bro,

No, Dalits have converted to other religions and their social status have risen
@@offencebestdefence500 whats so funny
No amount of words can express the gratitude we have towards babasaheb and our constitution!!! The most basic human rights and respect being snatched away by people because their minds were rotten, is beyond inhumane! I don't have much hope for our society, but the fact that the constitution has considered everyone equal, is a relief.
Its not that simple its a complex thing only babsaheb understood it early. See its only us whom they have tormented us to this level, reason we didn't follow their wrong path.Others accepted that they are ready to serve one, they left dhamma we didn't thats a reason and many more to count.But still we haven't done much after babasaheb for ourselves.
Miss Ankita then you must support the verdict given by the CONSTITUTIONAL bench of the SUPREME COURT to introduce NON-CREAMY LAYER in sc-st reservation to uplift poor people in sc-st category do you support it ??

I am form punjab , and my father who is in public sector ( lucky for me ) , he used to tell that our forefathers had to work on fields of upper caste people, and in return they used to give us left over bread made of maize and rotten butter milk, they also used to go forest for hunting and he himself has done that in his early childhood.
Watching this video made me realise why people in my community would like to eat grass and wild herbs and shrubs
What to do when you have no land of your own.
Eating wild plants is not something only Dalits did, but i am surprised many of the plants he cooked is said to be poisonous here, i wonder how did those berries taste. what i really dislike though, was untouchability, which even lower caste people practiced against Dalits.
It's because of the social order, we are living in till now since centuries, and that is not made by us, you see there is concept of sanskritization in which lower caste people try to emulate high caste people.
The responsibility of annihilation of caste goes first those who made it.
And yes, the responsibility of shunning caste goes to educated also, but our society is just so fucked up to do that.
It’s same experience I got , I am lucky that my grandma teach me some of the recipes that she used to cook from wild plants .
Good to see that some of the Dalits are rising up to middle class! We should support Dalits to rise up in dignity!!
Firstly , what's rising up , what's this middle class ? Why you can not accept them if they are below the middle class or want to remain in whichever the condition they are in, the govt will anyway provides basic health care .

Why do you want them to rise up the so called "DIGNIFIED LIFE" why you, not you as in you personally, but the mindset just accept the fact that people eat other things than what we eat , it may be a dead cow or buffalo or whatever legal who are we to judge them and brand them as DIGNIFIED or not!

I beling to the Mahar community...My father once depicted of how my grandmother served two laddles of wheat porridge(ghugrya in marathi) available and the siblings pounced to eat it....From those two laddles to having five star brunches, I bow to our father Dr.Ambedkar for having make us realize we are also worth of a dignified life...But as Mr.Patole said' Jaat jata jat nahi'😢😢

As a Mahar from Telangana, I can say that we have no problem eating beef. Nonetheless, there are severe limitations on the consumption of beef in Madhya Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Gujarat, Himachal Pradesh, and Maharashtra.

It must be so nice to live in a bubble and feel that everything is unjust when they have not even seen what real injustice looks like. Not even a slight glimpse of it. Major need of such awakening is needed in this country.

Bro how so ever today it isn't prevalent.. We can't drag every thing for ever ...... In rural area is totally due to personal prejudice and it is changing slowly but in urban area the discrimination isn't that prevalent
So happy to see this being featured. Indian food is not a monolith.

@@YTry1 That’s nice to hear
As an "upper caste" Hindu, I am a bit embarrased to say I never thought about this. That there would be a different cuisine for Dalits due to discrimination. Of course, it would differ from one region to another throughout the subcontinent. But even so.
I've seen videos of foods from all over the world, but never knew about this.
EDIT: There seems to be a misunderstanding among some in the comments. I used the double quotes around the words some of you find objectionable precisely because they are so. I don't believe in caste. The caste system is the root cause of India's suffering for about 2000 years, if not more. Dr. Ambedkar's Annihilation Of Caste is a work worth reading and understanding.
Jai Bhim!
Don’t you feel ashamed calling yourself an upper caste Hindu, you are the same human as anyone else walking this planet and it’s only in your mind that you may feel as being a cut above the rest and it’s nowhere else.
Dalit cuisine varries from different state in m.p we traditionally have long history of eating beef . Also beefcurry and sarso chutney .
Bajra was main staple food.
Dalit cuisine is very different from Hindus . You are correct 💯

@@Kart546As an upper caste, I assume, if dalits were not allowed to mix and intermingle with normal people, they will eat whatever they could find na, and cows are everywhere! So i think Dalit people evolved the custom of eating beef. I see no problem, but i think they should try to avoid it.
Casteism is the main reason for large scale conversion to christnity and Islam. Conversion gave them equal status.

@@navinkumarpk86 That's not true, I am a dalit and I am proud of it . I will be totally ok with being born as a dalit again. My problem is that society treats Dalits as untouchables, intelligent, unhygienic, uncultured people. And so many customs n cuisines of d lower castes have vanished over time. As for what u said, I can understand why many fellow Dalits don't want to be Dalits, it's bcuz d society treats dem badly. As for me, if I had to choose between being born a dalit or a Brahmin, I wud choose to be born a dalit. Bcuz it makes me more empathetic to d pain of others, let it be d pain of blacks in America, or d violence against women or d discrimination dat st's n bc's face in india. I can now understand others pain better, it makes me a better human being, it makes me want to become better for everyone person in d society dats suffering from a biological disease or from a social disease called caste. A dalits customs, cuisine etc are also viewed as inferior and polluting by the upper castes. So many Dalits n lower castes internalize d shame at a very young age n distance themselves from their ancestral cuisine n traditions. This has lead to dalit customs starting to perish overtime. Which is why there is a need to revive these lost customs. I hope u can also enjoy n participate in d customs of ur community.
@@navinkumarpk86 One day, I hope d caste system will cease to exist bcuz it's utter rubbish n there is no scientific or rational basis to it. But while the caste system still exists, and if I keep being shamed for my dalit identity, I will continue to assert my dalit identity. Obviously not to discriminate other castes, but simply to say that the society can't try and cage me for being a dalit. I am free and no one can shame me or it. I am not clinging to my identity, I am asserting it. I have many identities, being dalit is one of them. I sincerely pay my condolences to anyone who desperately clings to their caste identity for survival .

Even The Supreme Court is highly casteist. They have proven it many times. Be it decriminalizing crime against SC ST or trying to end reservation etc. but they allowed EWS reservation in a blink. 90 % of the Judges are from a certain caste and they don't allow anyone to become judge from suppressed class. Share this message to all SC ST and OBC people. At least they should be aware of this.

New generation will erase casteism hopefully
Education and economic growth is reason
Doubt it. This is news in 2024- (in so called "educated" South India)
Following Dalit entry into Tamil Nadu village temple, caste Hindus to construct separate place of worship. In Thenmudiyanur village, Tiruvannamalai district, Tamil Nadu, caste Hindus have chosen to abandon the Sri Muthu Mariamman temple its presiding deity they worshipped for over a century, citing that the entry of Dalits “defiled the deity and polluted the temple”.
Good to see Dalits getting strong in society. Protect the youth from drugs and education is the key.
That's the root of real societal problem.
😢😢😢

Wholesome fresh herbs and greens from the land, and unprocessed local meat, cooked with health-giving spices. That's good food, man.
Wonderful job BBC
Many of them have forgotten that their history was written by their parents in order for the next piece of THEIR history to address this problem, and repay you peacefully. I'm glad that you've started writing your own history. ..
I will purchase this book and read sir. Thanks for penning this book and for your efforts.
Dalit peoples are amazing.. we tribal people r near to our dalit friends
BBC awesome work.
Lovely man, I really will proud to be his brother.
Dalits were meat eater we are not hindus and used very different way of cooking still my mom used to prepare cook differently .
Traditionally we eat beef are food habit and dalit food culture is purely different 🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹 i from m.p he so damn right im from indore 💙💙💙💙💙💙
Ok so who cares
WHAT? i am Dalit too - passi. Who said Hindus are all vegetarians? Vegetarianism came into hinduism after the advent of buddhism and janism. people of all caste eat nonveg and veg and many are fully veg. Who is teaching you this nonsense.

Kudos to BBC india for making this video ❤️
To remove reservation u have to consider us equal which the Brahmans would never do
but we will fight for equality till last breathe...
Brother, you are correct. However, it is time for Dailts to assert equality irrespective of what “upper” castes think/do. Equality is our birthright.
PS: I say this as a former Brahmin but who identifies as a caste less person today.
🎉 🤯They suffer like we African Americans 🇺🇸 did after reconstruction. We have much in common & can rise up if we unify. But they come to America & try to become white by discriminating against us 🤯. THEY must destroy India’s 🇮🇳 racist & colorist caste system! Have pride to be Dark & Lovely like we black Americans are. ❤🗣️We love being black ✊🏿✊🏾looking black, & loving black 🫶🏾!!! ❤👨🏿🦱👩🏽🦱👦🏻👨🏾🦱🧑🏾🦱👩🏻🦱👩🏿🦱👶🏾👧🏻💪🏾 People literally try to be us. Tanning, wearing our hairstyles, trying to talk like us, trying to make music 🎶 like us, lying 🤥 & saying they’re black like Rachael Dolezal 👀 😂.
The discrimination is not just between varn but between jaati, as mentioned in the video the Chamar were treating the Mang and Mahar as untouchables (1:00)
If the dalit and obc unite they are the majority and no one can opress them. But we see a fractured populace and anyone can take advantage of that, be it upper caste, upper class, feudal lords or foreigners. In most states it obc and sc are split, if they unite they are unstoppable.
Jai Bhim 🙏🏾
This brought a tear down..😢
I visited Khamgaon which is nearby Shegaon in Buldhana District NH-6 for Court Cases of Dalit Women .Now the conditions of SC is improving
This khamgaon is in dharashiv not buldhana
The improving community is mahars they follow buddhism .most other dalit caste like mang not improve , mahars have higher litracy rate like jain and brahmins .
I bought it too.looking forward to read it,I m from maratha community,but I realised the injustice suffered by lower castes 😢.and as I grew up I felt these injustices,read about it feel it should end once and for all..
Jio patole jio good job
BBC continuing British legacy of dividing Hindus into cast , just like our politicians has inherited British model 👏👏👏
Wow!!! The history of the brutalities and mistreatment against the so-called lower castes by the so-called upper castes has not been documented enough. It is a curse and stain that will not only never wash off, it WILL be our undoing for eons to come. I am so happy that there is a real effort by these communities to showcase and document their stories. More power to them. I cannot wait to snag a copy!❤
Disgusting as hell, they would not let people drink from their surrounding area. Total exclusion.
and it still happen
I'm not Indian and feel so angry for them😢 like literal rage. It's so unfair and I despise and look down on the people, country, culture and society that treated you this way.
You and your community are beautiful and deserve to have your culture preserved
Let's be realistic First Stop racism and hate crime against Indians then talk about this 😢 😂😂
😂🤣
This is a silly and in fact very funny problem so-called upper cast came up with why?? One of my friends who is from the upper cast was walking with me and he asked me do I eat beef 🐄 I told him that I don't but, when it was legal back in 2012 I used to eat it. He did not say anything but his face was sick, so I asked him if you got a chance to have an intimate relationship with a foreigner who eats beef will you accept it or not he said he would happily accept it 😂 so I asked him then why you have problems with us… he did not have an answer. It's just education, we all have the same DNA 🧬 there is no point in arguing that if any person from the upper cast doesn't want to eat beef no problem. (it's just a status game upper cast doesn't want to lose the status of the upper cast even if we all equal)
It's just money, education, and health. Which makes us different 🎉❤ WE ALL ARE SAME 🤝 NO ONE IS ABOVE US NO ONE IS DOWN US. Same same
You feel that way, but your “friend” doesn’t.
Thank you for making this lovely documentary
Proud of uncle
Thank you for this book, Sir. Have heard good things about it and I simply can’t wait to explore it.
