@@silentstormstudio4782 The old lady saying salt was not there ……the British had banned there was great Indian hedge please One of the most bizarre human barriers in history was the Great Hedge of India, a living stockade that at its peak was reputed to have run more than a thousand miles from what is now Pakistan to south-central India. It existed for about half the 19th century, reaching its zenith in the 1870s to prevent smuggling of salt and essential goods the rural population got impoverished and exploited due to heavy taxation by invaders and upper ruling class behaved like their puppets and pimps .

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.
@@Adityabikramnayak the onus is on upper castes...Dalits castes cannot be blamed. Each caste try to imitate the castes above them and suppress castes below them in this caste pyramid.

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.
I guess casteism and reservation are going hand in hand ….. you can’t remove caste system because it’s deeply rooted and no one wants to let go the free upper class status without doing anything great ….and can’t remove reservation because same caste people will give jobs to their own people …discrimination will start again …Yup it’s a messed up situation!
oh how some (Hindu) youngsters of today who grew up with relative comforts and oppose reservations would feel when they would be confronted by a video like this or a book like that. 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.

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.

Very very few have managed to progress. So many people still need access to education, to jobs. Community is far from acheiving. We don't have to be good, we have to be equal to them, equal in EVERY SENSE to the upper caste. Then we can truly say, we achieved. Till then, we must keep fighting for our community
Even though I am not Dalit or any other backward caste, i would love to eat their food. Looks great. And all power to our dalit brothers and sisters. Hope more of them become rich and say a F*** Y** to the upper caste who call them untouchables.
@SarbjitSingh-ed1el what the hell you're saying. Cant you see in the video they all are talking about old times when differences between caste was so strong, things have changed now, look at the video again.
Hats off to you and all the people who are part of a group that is discriminated against. You thrived and succeeded with such adversity. Thanks for sharing your story and history.
I am a pandit by birth but would love to try your recepies my motherland is kashmir and we didn't have caste as either we had muslim or Hindu nothing inbetween (after 12 century mass conversion to Islam). But yes we had rich and poor so we too use a lot of weeds in our food that are more delicious than the regular food sold in the market. It's the responsibility of a parents to teach their kids the food value of these nutritious vegetables, like my mother taught me and she also taught one more thing that when you work hard to source your own food and have less luxury it brings more happiness with each bite you take. We don't eat beef but we eat mutton a lot even on religious functions.(Guess having 80% buddist population at one time has left it's deep mark on both of our cultures)😊

We are not hindus , we are what we are call us by our caste name , dont call us hindus . It is shameful for us . The religion is a political construct , our uneducated people accepted that name . But hindu is not a religion , it just a common name given to everyone who is not muslim and christians . No one has authority to convert someone to hinduism . Brahmin scriptures hijacked hindu identity also and again divided people under varna system . This is systematic oppression .apni jaati ki hak ke liye lado , dharm ke liye nahi . Kyun ki yo dharm he hi nahi .
Lol you can't recover until you know what is robbed from you. Your Vedic treasure was looted by these intellectual so called upper caste goons and you say hindu is anyone besides muslim Christian. If you fight for caste you mean you accept hinduism, you accept you are choti caste you are inferior. I say shed everything. There is no caste. Just a group of beings who are done with further oppression. If there is no hindu, there should also be no caste

Rural logo ki problems urban logo me mat ghusao, I believe that people in rural area still face many but many sc caste people from cities take a much better benifits from government even if they are not capable just because of their caste. The reservation system is not a solution now and moving forward generals will suffer more.

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 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

Reservation is still a necessity in the Indian society. Talking from a pragmatic point of view. We are already the most populous country on Earth and still growing, yet adamantly holding the place in "low-income countries" for a hot minute now.

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.

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.

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 .

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”.
Only the BBC would commission and broadcast on a seminal topic as this. Not one metropolitan, mainstream Indian ch. would afford coverage to this. Most Indians are too busy talking over each other, a disease called Arnabitis, which the entire country seems to have contracted. Again, all of these other channels, in the pocket of corporate funders, would pander to a metropolitan, cow-belt, middle-class version of what Hindu India is and ought to be disseminated at large. This Dalit author puts paid such cosy assumptions to reveal one too many unvarnished truths.

During my School Days I was Studying in a Government Primary School in a remote village due to my Father's Engineering Investigations Works !! I lived among Dalits students and use to visit their houses and ate there as well ! It was so basic that I just can't describe !

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 .

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.

But yes we had rich and poor so we too use a lot of weeds in our food that are more delicious than the regular food sold in the market. It's the responsibility of a parents to teach their kids the food value of these nutritious vegetables, like my mother taught me and she also taught one more thing that when you work hard to source your own food and have less luxury it brings more happiness with each bite you take. We don't eat beef but we eat mutton a lot even on religious functions.(Guess having 80% buddist population at one time has left it's deep mark on both of our cultures)😊

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

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. ..
Thank u for showing the deep truth.
Thankyou BBC News India for sharing this ❤
Its so important to remember n record d dalit cuisine, customs n culture. Since they are being erased by sanskritisation and now westernisation. Its also an integral part of remembering n embracing our dalit identities. ❤
🎉 🤯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 👀 😂.
I thought you didn't want to be Dalits. Then why cling to this?
@@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 .

Thank you for this book, Sir. Have heard good things about it and I simply can’t wait to explore it.
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”.
Natural Indian food natural Indian dalit community Jo bole so nirbhay sat guru Ravidas Maharaj ji ki jai ho 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🌹
Only the BBC would commission and broadcast on a seminal topic as this. Not one metropolitan, mainstream Indian ch. would afford coverage to this. Most Indians are too busy talking over each other, a disease called Arnabitis, which the entire country seems to have contracted. Again, all of these other channels, in the pocket of corporate funders, would pander to a metropolitan, cow-belt, middle-class version of what Hindu India is and ought to be disseminated at large. This Dalit author puts paid such cosy assumptions to reveal one too many unvarnished truths.
Excellent comment! Best comment on this thread, and everything you say is true.
@@SenorSol Thanks!
@@Iranica bbc are also the same news channel who don't do coverage over Israel and the war
Dalit peoples are amazing.. we tribal people r near to our dalit friends
BBC awesome work.
It is a Great Book ! It keeps everything recorded for Posterity !! Congratulations to the Author !!
During my School Days I was Studying in a Government Primary School in a remote village due to my Father's Engineering Investigations Works !!
I lived among Dalits students and use to visit their houses and ate there as well !
It was so basic that I just can't describe !
I remembered those bitter "Sag" n "Baji" recipes and I use to wonder it is not the same in my house ! ? Why ??
Now I know!!!
Wonderful job BBC
Dear BBC, we need more content like this to develop empathy amongst our future generations.
Propaganda
@@major2707 what propaganda?
@@DhirajKyawalmost of the vegetables mentioned here are eaten by all castes not just dalits and majority of this stuff is due to poverty endued by British rule. We were under them for more than 200 years and before that we had harsh taxes in mughal india as well.
We have been suffering and dealing with poverty since the British left. They won’t even accept their role in how the caste l system turned out and how the poverty they created played a role in this.
