Villagers of a Dalit colony in the southern part of Andhra Pradesh,
India have been fighting their higher-caste neighbors for water rights
on their own land for generations. Over time, this struggle for water has
become a struggle for dignity in a country where caste discrimination determines
what you are called, what you deserve and what you can become. Their challenge
to this system is inspiring.
