Besides, these alternatives and historiographies were also kept aside by mainstream media as well. In this scenario, the emergence and the availability of the new media challenged the monopoly of power. The emergence of this new space on the public platform has enhanced for the egalitarian society and empowered the Dalit writers and activists to write and share their narratives freely without any restrictions to the global audience. Dalit Camera is one such initiative to document the issues surrounding Dalits in India. Discrimination is common ubiquitous phenomenon in India and they are hardly documented by the mainstream media.

Andrew Jackson believed that effectively forcing the Cherokees to become more civilized and to christianize them would be beneficial to them. Therefore, he thought the journey westward was necessary.
