Social Boycott and Threats to Dalit Community
On the night of December 16, around 60 persons of upper caste barged into the Dalit colony with deadly weapons at around 11:30 pm. They first began vandalizing the properties and then started attacking people include, aged, women and disabled persons of Dalit community.
Following the complaint filed by Dalits against the accused of upper caste, the upper caste people have socially boycotted the community as the upper caste people are angry with the Dalits for registering a case.
Meanwhile the Dalits alleged that despite filing a case, till date, no accused has been arrested.
The upper caste people have reportedly shut all the shops of the village in order to prevent Dalits from buying or availing services of the shops. The Dalits youth have posted the video of shops being closed in the village.
Speaking to naanugauri. com, K. R. Police Sub Inspector said that the even upper caste people too have filed case of being attacked by Dalit. “ We are conducting an investigation, so far we have not arrested anybody”, he said.
Temple Entry Still Controversial and Practice of Untouchability
The Article 17 of Indian Constitution prohibits all sorts of untouchability that includes preventing people from entering temples, fetching water from public wells, visiting public places etc.
A. R. Kantaraj, one of the advocates of Mysuru has talked about the incident: Even in 21st century, the aspirations of the Indian Constitution have not been realized. Till today, the Dalit have been treated like animals. Even the police often do not come to the rescue of Dalits.
