Interview with Meena Kotwal of Mooknayak.

Kotwal started Mooknayak, a publication focused on telling stories of the Dalit and marginalised in India in response to the censorship by mainstream newsrooms in the country.

Over the last three years, the launch of publications like Mooknayak and Maktoob media focused on telling the stories of the Dalits, Muslims is an indication that these voices have long been isolated in mainstream publications. When these communities are not being censored, they are misrepresented, demonised and caricatured. In this important conversation with Meena, I speak about caste census, reservations and the importance of telling our stories.
