Dalits Butchered for Hosting Indian Flag

[Sedqal]

They are converts from Hindu Rajput clans, fail to see the relevance though.

released would be a better term

Yeah thats why they still love to hold on to the "Rajput" tag right

Such things are common in 'Secular Bihar' where not Indians but of high, low caster people, Hindus, Muslims etc live.

Correct doesnt happen in "Hindu Nationalist" Gujarat at all..

For hosting their national flag

I'm simply astounded.

If anything they should be rewarded. Despite the discrimination they face at home they can still find a reason to "celebrate"

It is a land dispute . They claimed the land by hoisting the flag there, possibly to gain attention. And they did .

This has to do with destabilizing Nitish Govt., and then media will highlight these things in wrong light. Dirty politics nothing else to do with either Dalits or National flag.

Its none of that.

The whole unsavoury incident took place over a “disputed spot” in Baddi where a memorial platform had been raised in the memory of a Rajput martyr Nishan Singh, who died during 1857 mutiny.

This platform lies adjacent to Sant Ravidas temple constructed by the mahadalits. Both the shrines are located on government land near Nishan Singh High School gate.

On August 15, some mahadalits stopped the landlords (Rajputs) from hoisting flag on the spot which they claimed was theirs, and shooed away the upper caste men.

Shortly after fleeing, the armed men, mostly landowners, returned in strength and attacked the mahadalits. The poor section also retaliated, with their women and children too joining them with sickles and axes. The battle which continued for hours left one Ram Vilas Ram dead, while 20 women and five children were critically injured. The rajputs too suffered injuries.

Both the memorial and temple are built on government land. Dalits chased the Rajputs away when they came to hoist flag at the memorial, they came back with vengeance and then it was free for all.

They should if they wish.Indian allows freedom to choose religion.
Funny part is that even after converting they required reservation and government facilities and becomes low caste Christians, so their position remains same.
Truth is that few fool non dalit are jealous of them because of facilities and reservation provided to them by government.
you might not be knowing that it is non bailable offence to attack dalits but vice versa is not true.
India is big country and this types of incidents happens, what interesting is that it is decreasing every year.
Education, cultural interaction and awareness has helped a lot to bridge the gap and will surely eliminate this evil in coming years. India has/had many great dalit people and we are proud of them.
We all are Indian first.

all dalits should convert 2 Christianity for better life

The Dalits did hoist the flag didn't they ? If not why does the headline says so ?
