The death of Dhabolkhar came as a shock, not that killing is a newly introduced trend in India but that still at this age of technology, such monstrosity continues to takes place in the name of castes and religions. In a sense it made him an equal to Mahatma Gandhi, as he too stood for Dalits and oppressed(regardless of religion) and gave his life away for the cause. His life was a reminder of what’s still going on in India in the name of thousands of years old system of caste and religion. From the beginning itself Dalits were called untouchables(now they are “scheduled castes”) rightfully according to their social status. Even their presence and sight itself were considered polluting so that any interactions should be avoided at all costs. But up to this very day one thing that never made sense is ,how come those who considered Dalits polluting, could eat rice and wheat plough
Making sense of this world
