RedInk Awards 2019 | Dinu Randive | Lifetime Achievement Award

Here is a short AV that was showcased at the RedInkAwards 2019. It features the life and works of Lifetime Achievement Awardee, Dinu Randive.
Later, in a short message by Dinu Randive, when he came on stage on a wheelchair, the veteran gave an example of how good journalism can have a transforming role.
When covering the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) in the 1970s, Ranadive said he once came across a weeping Dalit man who said his child had died and he could not bury the boy because the Dalit cremation ground was full of water, and he did not want him to catch a cold! Those days the BMC had separate burial grounds for upper caste children and Dalit kids. Moved by the tragedy, he wrote a series of articles on the discriminatory practice. The Maharashtra Legislature which was in session then took cognizance of these reports and abolished segregation of burial grounds on caste basis.
