90-yr-old Dalit man burnt alive for trying to enter temple

[HariPrasad]

A 90-year-old Dalit man died after he was brutally attacked with an axe and set on fire for trying to enter a temple at Hamirpur in Uttar Pradesh, police said on Friday.

The victim, identified as Chimma, had gone to the Maidani Baba temple with his wife, son Durjan and brother on Wednesday evening. He was stopped from entering the temple by a man named Sanjay Tiwari.

When Chimma did not relent, Tiwari allegedly attacked him with an axe and then set him on fire.

The incident took place in the presence of several other worshippers in Bilgaon, a village on the boundary between Hamirpur and Jalaun districts located 140km from Kanpur.

Police said Tiwari had been arrested after he was nabbed by other people present in the area. They said he was drunk at the time of the incident.

An eyewitness said Tiwari had asked Chimma and several others not to enter the temple but they refused.

He said Tiwari became furious and attacked the Dalit man with an axe. While Chimma’s wife screamed for help, Tiwari doused the elderly man with kerosene and set him afire, the eyewitness said.

Two aides of Tiwari, who were named in the FIR filed by police, are on the run, said Mukesh Aghi, president of the US-Indian Business Council.

Very shameful incident. We have yet to travel some distance to erase this type bad customs.

Sad incident, RIP

Looks like secular and liberal government of UP can't handle the law and order situation in UP. People must vote for BJP.

This is more like the bigotry of the society, rather than the incompetency of the ruling government. Incompetency is there, no doubt.

Usually when alone i think as to why we are made as neighbor to a country like india?what was our mistake?why has Allah punished us so?

although not yet 100% sure but i have come to the conclusion that we are most probably cursed for having a neighbor like india perhaps for our ancestors sins

Why the uncertainty?

You can tie a leash around a dog's neck, but a dog will remain a dog. Or cat, in your case.

Where was the need for such personal abuse? don't you feel ashamed?

I didn't abused him, it's a metaphor I used to explain that changing the government won't change the nature of the society. And he prefers cats more than dogs.

BJP is not in power in UP, they have 'secular' Samajwadi Party in power.

And you must be feeling very proud when Ahemdia teen girls are burnt alive and people seeing that cheers for that. You must be feeling very nice when 40 minority man are shot down in bus or Joseph colony is burnt or shias are bombed. Looking others small weknesses ignoring their own big one is the typicality of the uncivilized people.

Lo bhai ye to galat news pe khush hone walon ki Hawa nikal gayi. As usual.

though i cannot see now who he was quoting, if he was abusing me ( the cat reference ), my thanks to you for challenging him.

BJP is not in power in UP, they have 'secular' Samajwadi Party in power.

yes and it is absolutely the secular samajwaads abusing and oppressing dalits... nothing at all to do with the ideology of those ruling at the center.

and how is your "cat and leash" valid?? there is no equating a cat and a unspeakable... no admirer of a cat would put him on a leash.

suspicious, because in the op...

Frankly, I don't agree. Frankly, Who gives a ****?

How about the idiot who says he doesn't give a 4 star, and then spends time carefully giving a 4 star?

Islam is not the answer. It might have been, thirteen centuries ago; it isn't, today, What do you know?

You got the answer; what more do you need to find out?

and an honest person would admit that, indian talking of honesty? LOL.

Meaning what? That Indians may not talk of honesty? That Indians are not honest?
Any of these are violations; want to test it?

Clearly, there are not too many of those, look outside india, you'll find many.

All right.
Clearly, the person who answered is not an honest person. He cannot respond to any point of view except with generalisations.

Instead of conversion, Dalits should assert themselves and their right to worship, and build their own temples, to pray to whoever in the religion that encourages killing other human beings for a baseless man-made cast system?

No. To pray to whomever, or whatever they wish to pray to. To a higher being that does not tolerate killing other human beings for a baseless man-made caste system.
That is known as freedom of religion.
I sincerely sympathise with your predicament, not knowing anything of such things.

people of as they have started doing. Their freedom from caste domination will come with the building of more Dalit temples, LOL, first I thought you didn't have a brain, but a brainless person can't come up with such twisted logic.

Possibly. While your brain farts keep exiting as pointless LOLs, the Dalit is taking steps to settle his own condition, and not through conversion to a seventh century collection of primitive prejudices.

their freedom from religious obsession will come when they realise the truth and reject religion altogether. As I said it gets even more twisted here, first you advise them to build their own temples then suggest that they will reject the religion (obviously Hindu religion, that we are talking about) because they will realise it's not truth. That's what I said Truth is only in ISLAM.

No.

None so blind as those who do not WISH to see.

I suggested that initially, they take a small step of practising their religion in conditions of self-respect and dignity. I suggested that they take a greater step later, of rejecting religion, ALL religion, not obviously Hindu religion, because all religions are equally exploitative and useless, because they will recognise that neither version is the truth.

And nor is any other religion the truth.

Sorry couldn't resist.

I would have taken up scissors and knife and performed impromptu surgery on you.

Your reply has shown me exactly what kind of surgeon u're FEELING LUCKY. (remind me not to make u angry)
