General secretary, 1857 Azad Hind Party
Dalpatram, 62, is the general secretary of 1857 Azad Hind Party. Sitting in his tarpaulin home, he asks for jobs, compensation and houses for the victims of Gujarat earthquake. His 20-year-old son Sanjay, a tea vendor, is the lone breadwinner in the family. Daughter Sheetal, 15, assists her father in his struggle and is his heir apparent. Trouble for the ex-office bearer of the Republican Party of India started when his house collapsed in the 2001 earthquake. He was denied his compensation by corrupt officials. The state snatched whatever meagre belongings he had. He was shooed away from Rajkot in 2003 where he was protesting under the statue of Baba Saheb Ambedkar. Jantar Mantar was the logical progression from there.
