A Report in Priya Pathak - the Hindi Weekly from Mhow
April 14 2008 was a big day for Mhow. The birthday of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar was celebrated here in a big way. Thousands of Dalits, especially Mahars, visited Mhow on that day. Not to mention politicians from all the leading political parties.
I had taken spot interviews of a few of the visitors that day. And some of these were published in the Hindi Weekly Priya Pathak (April 19-25, 2008) which is published from Mhow by Dinesh Solanki. The title of the article was 'Ambedkar Jayanti Par Daliton Se Sakshatkar - Report Dev Kumar Vasudevan duara'.
