Sujatha Gidla was born a Dalit, one of India's lowest castes. She was bullied at school and constantly made to feel ashamed of who she was. Then she moved to New York City and everything changed. Shirin Jaafari has her story. (Image: Sujatha Gidla is the author of 'Ants Among Elephants. An Untouchable Family And The Making Of Modern India.' Credit: PRI’s The World)
