Interaction with a tribal-turned-Dalit community of eastern Gangetic plain in UP

Malwabar village
Vidya Bhushan Rawat, a human rights defender, has interacted with the  tribal-turned-Dalit community found in the eastern Gangetic plain and the Terai, Musahars, living in village Malwabar, Deoria, Uttar Pradesh, on issues related with agriculture, land and how they deal with the entire issue. According to him, one would be able to understand the crisis  faced by the community in Malwabar village, which is a Musahar hamlet, even though it has changed a lot.
In the beginning of the video, shared below, for the first about six seven minutes one can see the aerial view of the village as well as our Prerna Kendra where the discussion was organised in the end of November 2020. The entire community in the village is landless, and both men and women work together on land. See the video:
