In a recent social media update, Gandhi shared a video featuring his visit to a Dalit household in Kolhapur, Maharashtra. During his stay, he engaged with the family, assisting in cooking traditional Dalit dishes, including 'chane ke saag ki sabzi', 'harbharyachi bhaji', and 'tuvar dal' with brinjal.
Gandhi highlighted the social and political relevance of Dalit cuisine, drawing insights from the family's experiences and the lack of awareness about such cultural aspects. He also referenced Shahu Patole's book 'Dalit Kitchens of Marathwada' as a crucial documentation of this culinary heritage.
