If Samadhis were funerary monuments of saints in #Hindus, Chhatris were #Rajput's choice of the memorial. They made sure that the memory of the chivalry of their ancestors passed on to the next generations. Though, all Chhatris did not necessarily contain the mortal remains. 2/
Chhatri i.e. umbrella, first appeared as a canopy above the tomb in #Islamic #architecture. #Hindu kings transformed the tomb into Chhatri. By the 16th C, Rajput courts had started building Chhatris. It was a place where a noble was cremated, memorialized and later worshipped. 3/

Who is #DeltaMeghwal? A 17 year-old #Dalit student from Barmer, who was first raped by her PT teacher & then murdered by those involved.
First, she is sent to CLEAN her teacher's room. Why is a student sent to clean rooms? Because she is #Dalit & we must be shown 'our place'
The person sending her to 'clean' is none other than the hostel warden, the same person her parents trusted her safety with: #PriyaShukla
