Episode 57 of Facts and Figures delves into the controversial life and activism of Nawab Satpal Tanwar, a prominent Dalit leader known for his outspoken resistance against caste discrimination and his advocacy for marginalized communities. From his childhood in Khandasa village, Haryana, where systemic caste oppression was rampant, to his rise as a powerful voice against casteism, this episode traces the struggles and milestones that shaped his journey. Satpal Tanwar grew up facing severe caste-based discrimination, including being forced to drink contaminated water and witnessing Dalit students being made to clean the shoes of upper-caste peers. Refusing to accept such injustices, Tanwar often stood up against caste oppression, enduring physical and emotional repercussions. Inspired by Dr. B.R. Ambedkar's writings, he began his fight for social equality at an early age. In 2010, he founded Bhim Sena, a Dalit organization dedicated to eradicating caste-based discrimination and promoting the rights of marginalized communities. Over the years, he has organized protests, including the burning of Manusmriti, and called for Bharat Bandh to highlight Dalit issues.
