Rahul Gandhi shares experience of discovering Dalit cuisine

Two days after he veritably donned the toque of a ‘chef’, Leader of the Opposition in Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi narrated his first-hand experience of discovering a Dalit kitchen and dishes, on Monday.

Taking to social media with videos of his surprise foray into the home of a Dalit farmer-cum-tempo driver, Ajay Tukaram Sanade, at Unchaon village in Kolhapur on Oct. 5, the Congress leader



observed how even today very few people know about a Dalit kitchen.

“As (Chhatrapati Shrimant Shahu Maharaj) Shahuji and (Nana) Patoleji said, ‘no one knows what Dalits eat’. Curious about what they eat, how they cook, and what its social and political significance is, I spent an afternoon with Ajay T. Sanade and Anjana T. Sanade,” said Rahul Gandhi of his unique exposure that day.
