Caste-based discrimination rife in Doti

Dalit rights activists say non-Dalits refuse to interact with them, extend services, rent rooms or even sell them milk.

Sarita Dayali, has been buying milk from a restaurant nearby ever since the milkman refused to sell her milk a couple of years ago. Dayali is from the Dalit community and is the district chief of the Feminist Dalit Organisation in Silgadhi, the district headquarters of Doti.
