“Better to sacrifice this body
than live like a corpse
Open your eyes to the
dream of Dalit martyrs
And create a new Bhim
For our new era.”
In May 2011, a crackdown by the Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) on musicians and poets accused of promoting Maoist or Naxalite ideology led to Sathe and other members of Kabir Kala Manch going into hiding.
Sathe and her husband, Sachin Mali, also a member of Kabir Kala Manch, finally came out of hiding in April 2013 at the Maharashtra Vidhan Bhavan in Mumbai, declaring it an act of satyagraha for free expression and not “surrender”, while also maintaining their innocence of the charges levelled against them. But in spite of her pregnancy, Sathe, along with her husband, were denied bail immediately and again on 4 June 2013 by the Mumbai Sessions Court. Finally, she was granted bail by the Bombay high court on 28 June 2013 on humanitarian grounds.
