Breaking the Bonds of Tradition (India)
Breaking the Bonds of Tradition (India) -- In
this special program, host Ellis Cose focuses on several
remarkable people in India who have said no to prejudice
and low expectations. The show profiles a Dalit (an
untouchable) leader who provides scores of young people
from poor villages with their first chance ever of
receiving an education with dignity. Among other
stories, the program profiles a group of women widowed
by the Gujarat anti-Muslim riots of 2002. Instead of
giving in to despair, these women started a collective
enterprise that manufactures cloth and provides them
with a living. www.elliscose.com/against-the-odds/breaking-the-bonds-of-tradition/
