UP: Dalit couple hacked to death over Rs 15


Mainpuri (UP), Jul 28 (PTI): A Dalit couple was today hacked to death here allegedly by an upper caste man for refusing to part with a paltry Rs 15 so he could buy his daily fix of intoxicant, police said.

Bharat Nat (48) and his wife Mamta (45) were attacked with an axe by Ashok Misra when they refused to give him Rs 15 in Kurra area in Lakhmipur village early this morning.

The incident occurred when the couple was going for paddy transplantation. Superintendent of Police Deo Ranjan Verma and District Magistrate P C Gupta have rushed to the spot with reinforcements in view of the tension in the village.

Police said the accused Ashok, who had a grocery store in Mainpuri, has been arrested. He was demanding the money to buy some intoxicant and an argument over the matter led to the gruesome killing of the couple.

Meanwhile, the bodies of the couple have been sent for postmortem examination.

The Nats are a nomadic community and eked out a living by providing entertainment by the roadside. Many of the poor, landless Nats have abandoned their traditional occupation of rope dancing and jugglery and are mainly engaged as unskilled agricultural labourers.

    If they remain as Dalits, problems!
    If they embrace other faith then too problems.
    They eating meat is a problem.
    But if they don't remove dead animal then too it is a problem!

    How INDIA will develop with people like this, killing for just 15 rupees?. Beating people for removing cow's carcass, beating women in public for suspecting of carrying cows' meat, all these incidents take us back to stone era and hang our head in shame nationally and internationally.

    Your high caste and class party is now ruling India which has given a diabolical impetus to the street goons and some high caste individuals to play with the lives of Dalits and minorities like throwing stones as the mad dogs. Your great party has to RIP.

    You are writing down as it suits you. I am sure you are not dalit and you have not gone through the discrimination on the basis of caste.

    Instead of staying as Dalit, better for them change their tag of caste/religion whichever gives them self dignity to live.

    @Harold- discrimination is there every where. Arabian Muslims do not treat Indian and Bangladesh Muslim same as them. Western and European Christians do not treat rest of the world Christians in the same way. They think one is superior and another inferior. India is a mix of all the people. Dalit's are the earliest inhabitants of this country and it goes to the period of Indus valley civilization. They need to adjust with other people here because they cannot survive on their own.

    Sriji, what you are telling is true that the vast majority of the human beings are having the spirit of discrimination. When I was landed in the U.S. 46 years back, I was really shocked to see the wall of separation in between the black and white race with the same religion of love what JESUS CHRIST has taught us to follow. While the Indian students acted like they are white and looked down at the black people, I took a different route and got involved with the black people and attended their Church services more often.
    They got greater inner healing through their worship from their pressure of discrimination by the white people, through Church services they got more mental relaxation than the white race through their worship.

    In India, the age old discrimination of the so called high caste people towards the low caste people was too deeply rooted but that has to be changed. My great irritation is the silence of the Central Government to address this deep rooted problem and in the failure of giving a stern national warning by the PM of India. His tightlipped nature is giving incentive for the street goons to conduct their regular tormenting activities towards the Dalits and minorities.
