Hidden from the hustle of elections and bugles of political parties, about 30-35 kms from the Varanasi district headquarters in Uttar Pradesh lies a small Musahar basti in Chitrasenpur village (block Sevapur). On February 26, when independent local reporter Neetu Singh visited the area for a ground report on elections, she found a child named Sumi in dire need of medical attention. On looking around, she found many kids to be ill and noted that apart from not having proper homes and toilets, this basti — home to one of the most oppressed castes in India — did not even have a hand pump for clean drinking water. Singh got out her phone and made a 10-minute video and posted it on her social media pages.
