Ballia (Uttar Pradesh), Feb 17 (IANS): A Dalit youth was attacked with a trident by four youths for touching food without washing his hands in Uttar Pradesh's Ballia district.

The incident took place in the Dokati village on Saturday night where a 'bhandara' (community feast) was being held and the entire village was invited to the function.

Upendra Ram, 30, who works in a coal shop, came to the function straight from the shop, and had coal stains on his hands.

As soon as he picked up the food for himself, the four youths objected to his picking up the food without washing his hands. A verbal spat soon turned ugly and the youth attacked him with hot tongs.

As Ram fell to the ground, one of the youths picked up a trident and attacked him with it.

Ram has been admitted to a hospital in a critical condition.

The police are yet to register a case and arrest the accused.

A police official said that no complaint had been filed in the matter.

    India has to go a long way to abolish untouchability like rampant evil practices.
    Attacking dalit or anyone for no fault is grave crime!
    Evil practices such as racial abuses are prevalent in developed countries as well but to a far lesser level.
    It's moral duty of all of us, our society, political parties and Govt to continuously educate the masses against such practices and take stringent deterrent actions on the perpetrators to prevent occurrence of such evil practices.

    I sometimes wonder, with so many centuries of boasting of Sanatana Dharma, why no one has tried to eradicate this untouchability.

    Whenever Hindu Jagarana Vedike holds Hindu Sammelana, they say 'Navella Hindu, Navella Ondu' but in reality the lower castes in Hindus know that they will never be one.

    The country's development and social fabric is completely gone to the dogs after the BLUEJP has come to power.
