Modi, like Trump is telling everyone, especially the poorest, what he’s doing for them, and supported by BJP and other militant groups, is directly empowering this type of WTF horror alongside the anti Muslim activities. He like rallies and speeches. Sounds like another nationalist leader who blamed a religious group too, and went on to provide a final solution.
Dalit is actually one of the historically “untouchable” Indian castes mind you.
I say historically because certain “perceptions” about castes still persist in this country despite the caste system officially being outlawed since the late 1940s.
Is the caste violence in the Northeast common?
Lol I bet you blame Trump for your farts
No but trump stinks. I only know this because his PR team released a statement stating he doesn’t stink.
Trump stinks, and he farts a lot too.

What’s your favourite thing he did to improve human rights?
The best human rights. Putin’s human right to kill not-nazis?
On my friend freeindv’s ego.
Im sorry, WTF?
It Uttar Pradesh the Florida of India?
It’s one of the poorest states, rife with poverty and crime, low employment opportunities, and high rates of illiteracy and other markers of low education. Coupled with the issues which affect India more broadly, such as overpopulation and class and caste discrimination, make it a not very nice place.
Don’t forget the rampant religious tension, actively fed by the government.
Ah, so it’s more a Mississippi or Alabama
It’s like super Florida.
More like Uttar Pradesh is the India of India.
It’s the South Carolina of India.
No, probably every crazy thing about uttar Pradesh has been from this one OP
Idk why I’m getting downvoted, look at his history
In all of human history, nothing good has ever come from conservatism. Only horror, misery and death.

Dallits for those who don’t know, are literally ‘The untouchables’ as in people will use a tissue or gloves to shake hands with them to prevent accidental skin in skin contact.
They are seen as the lowest of the low. Worth noting too that even if someone from this group emigrates to say the US or UK, other Indians may still treat them with this level of disdain. It’s ingrained into the culture. There have been some rumblings about Caste-ism being legislated against in several countries. But some people claim this is not fair to Indians since it’s so integral to the culture. Some argue that even legislating against Caste-ism is a form of racism. Seems totally insane to me. But I am not Indian so what the fuck do I know.
Either way, this story is fucking despicable.
California passed a law banning caste discrimination, but Gov Newsome vetoed it after Indian backlash. Their argument was that by singleing out caste discrimination, your calling attention to an Indian cultural practice that totally doesn’t happen anymore (it does, even in the US), and since your bringing negative attention to and falling out an Indian cultural thing doing so is therefore racist/discriminatory. To me this just sounds like white people being against an anti discrimination law because it makes white people look bad because of their past practice of discrimination, and racism totally doesn’t exist anymore. Like if race or caste discrimination isn’t a problem anymore, then the law does nothing, so what’s the big deal?
It bummed me out that the Indian community in CA was so up in arms about that law, as it not only would have protected people, it would have sent a message to the world, and India in particular, that we’re firmly against caste discrimination. Especially if the Indian-American community was vocally backing it. It could have done some real good. Also, Newsome is a coward for doing what is politically expedient for his presidential ambitions, rather than doing what’s right.
“Cooked alive” is too strong. She was thrown into a cauldron but survived.
what the fuuuuuuuuuuck?!
Most of time when I read some criminal news from India, It came from Uttar Pradesh
