Azad has built his politics around his Dalit identity – a fact known to all. According to several media reports<\/a>, he hails from Chutmalpur, a small town situated near Saharanpur, Uttar Pradesh. He is the son of late Govardhan Das who was a retired government school principal. In a 2017 interview with The Quint<\/a>,\u00a0<\/em>Azad talked about how his father was insulted in the school due to his ‘chamar’ identity. The ‘chamar’ community is regarded as ‘Dalits’ or ‘untouchables’, however, they officially fall into the scheduled caste category.<\/p>\n

Chandrashekhar Azad has been targetted with misinformation<\/a> in the past well when\u00a0Zee News\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0News18\u00a0<\/em>misquoted the Dalit leader.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
