Description

In this episode of What’s Your Ism?, Sudipto Mondal sits down with Dr. Raees Muhammad—formerly Ravichandran Bathran—the founder of Dalit Camera. A pioneer in grassroots video journalism, Raees speaks candidly about his departure from Hinduism, his conversion to Islam, and how casteism pushed him to reshape his identity and politics.


From his early days as a student activist in EFLU to founding Dalit Camera as a counter-media platform, Raees reflects on the violence, erasure, and faith that shaped his journey. This is a story of dissent, survival, and resistance from the margins.
