There has been a lot of outrage over the past week in India over the rape of a lower caste woman by upper castes. The police sided with the culprits and forced the family to cremate the victim to destroy evidence.
This is a common tactic by upper castes to spread terror and keep the lower castes in line. Goes to show how entrenched the system is especially outside the big cities.
- justicezyx 6y agoDo you have an English source on this reported incident? It sounds beyond modern day concept of cruelty.

- john_max_1 6y agoFWIW, There were thee more incidents and in all the cases lower caste girl was raped by Muslim guys. So, much for unnecessary giving caste/communal angle to a case of corruption and power.
- thewarrior 6y agoCaste exists among some Muslims too. Lower caste women bear the brunt of it because of their low social status. So no its not irrelevant. They suffer so much precisely because they are lower caste even in your examples.

- mav3rick 6y agoWhy can't you condemn all such cases. Why do you try to bring down one by citing the other.
- renewiltord 6y agoThis could be any week in the last ten years at least. There's always outrage, there's always protests, and nothing changes.
- puranjay 6y agoI've lived long enough in North India to know that outside a couple of cities, being out after dark is a big no-no if you're a single woman.
