In this gripping episode of Political Naari with Nivedita Shandilya, we expose the horrifying story of Hariom Valmiki, a Dalit man from Rae Bareli, Uttar Pradesh, who was brutally lynched by a mob. His last words, calling out “Rahul Gandhi”, reveal the desperation for justice and highlight the deep-rooted caste-based violence in the state.
The episode examines how the attackers, claiming allegiance to political leaders, reflect the disturbing nexus between politics and crime. Nivedita Shandilya investigates whether the state government, under CM Yogi Adityanath, is failing to protect marginalized communities. Using NCRB data and real incidents, this episode shows that caste-based atrocities, discrimination in schools, and mob violence are rising in BJP-ruled states.
Political Naari takes you on a journey of truth, revealing the systematic oppression faced by Dalits and questioning the role of political parties, the media, and law enforcement in safeguarding human rights. This episode is not just Hariom’s story — it is a mirror reflecting the struggles of millions of marginalized people in India still fighting for justice, equality, and dignity.
Watch, share, and raise awareness about the urgent need for accountability, protection, and change.
