Jayesh Solanki who tragically took his own life yesterday was a brilliant poet, musician and activist. His death is yet another reminder of the horrors we have normalized. Here he is seen in 2016 at at an informal gathering after a rail roko program called by Jignesh Mewani and friends in protest against atrocities on Dalits and the denial of their land rights. As people had come from various parts of the country Jayesh at times translates into Hindi.
