Born in a village on the border of Chhattisgarh and Odisha, Manjeet, aims to fill the void of an anti-caste discourse in the Indian comedic setup. Manjeet faced the structural barriers created by caste and class from his childhood years. The mid-day meals were a key reason for him to attend classes. He had horrible experiences of caste-based discrimination when he lived in a government hostel during the higher-secondary schooling days. While he wishes that none should be subjected to those experiences, he believes that it is from those lived experiences, that he draws his strength today as an anti-caste comic.
