As a journalist, this is such a happy sight.
Two weeks ago, Ashwini, who belongs to the Narikurava community, was denied dignity after being disallowed to have food with others during annadhanam at a temple.
A YouTube channel aired her interview which went viral.

A week later, HR & CE Minister @PKSekarbabu invited Ashwini to have lunch with her at the very temple where her dignity was questioned.
In fact, the woman was seated between the minister and the HR & CE Commissioner which sent a very strong message.

On the eve of the event which is truly an achievement for the community, Ashwini was a guest at one of the most-watched debates on Tamil channels Nerpada Pesu on @PTTVOnlineNews where she again stressed education facilities for Narikuravars.

The community members should be treated with dignity. We don't need media or government to remind us of the basic tenets of being a human.
Though successive governments should have solved their issues much earlier, at least now there is much focus

This was possible only because of conventional & social media. Media always brings a difference in the lives of people. Like every other profession, media has its own plus and minuses.
Despite all shortcomings, media does bring change.
