New Delhi: Sharing a clip which highlights the caste-divide in Uttar Pradesh's Hathras, where a Dalit woman was allegedly gang-raped and murdered, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Tuesday urged the people to bring a change.
The video shot in Hathras, in West Uttar Pradesh, showcases men and women from different communities in the village, recounting their battles with the caste system.
"This video is for those who are running away from the truth. When we change, the country will change," Gandhi said in the tweet, which had the video embedded.
Meanwhile, the Allahabad High Court on Monday gave next date of hearing in the Hathras incident case, Aditional Advocate General VK Shahi had said.
"The Court will give a decision. The next date of hearing is November 2, 2020," Shahi said.

"Right now saying anything about the case will be premature. The court has listened to all the people related to court and the matter is sub judice," added Shahi.
The family of the Hathras incident victim, Home Secretary, Uttar Pradesh government, Director General of Police (DGP), among others had appeared before the Court on Monday at 2:15 pm.
The woman was allegedly raped by four upper caste men on September 14. She succumbed to severe assault injuries at a Delhi hospital a fortnight later, which was followed by a hushed up cremation at night, allegedly forced by the district administration.
The brutal injuries suffered by the woman and the administration's move to cremate her body late at night triggered massive outrage, resulting in a pitched political battle from Delhi to Hathras.
