Haryana: Upper caste men beat up Dalit groom over ‘ghurchari’
INDIA Updated: Apr 06, 2017 12:26 IST

A Dalit groom was on Tuesday pushed down from the horse during ‘ghurchari’ and his family members in the ‘baraat’ (marriage procession) were allegedly beaten up by a dozen upper caste men at Sanjarwas village in Charkhi Dadri district.

The incident took place late on Tuesday night when groom Sanjay and his family had come to the village for his marriage with village resident Suman. However, when the ‘baraat’ was coming to Suman’s residence, a dozen men belonging to the Rajput community stopped it and pushed Sanjay down from the horse, saying Dalits were not allowed to perform this ritual.

The incident led to a heated argument between the two sides, after which the upper caste men roughed up the groom and some of his family members. Three of bride’s family members —Satender, Anil and Harpal — who tried to save the ‘baraatis’ were brutally beaten up and had to be shifted to a hospital.




























The girl’s family informed the police, after which the upper caste men ran away.

Bond Kalan police station incharge said Sanjay suffered minor injuries but the marriage ceremony was accomplished. “We made sure the marriage ceremony was performed peacefully by providing security till the function ended.”

He added, “We have lodged a case under relevant sections of the IPC and SC/ST (prevention of atrocities) Act. One person has been arrested while a hunt to nab the other miscreants was on,” he said.

Part of Indian culture. Sad indeed.

To deny the performance of a ritual violence was required. This is the norm for the Indian society

China has no caste based groups. Only India has them. Even cows are treated better than Dalits or Muslims.

We are a third world country with a billion plus population and truckloads of social problems, I neither deny this nor do I shy away from constructive discussions on the matter. But I sincerely feel people who use these unfortunate incidents to score points online lack proper upbringing and human empathy.

When i showed empathy i was labelled as a miserable sicko, so what upbringing are you talking about?

No one is scoring any points here. But India need to admit that this need to stop. India can stop this only with self introspection as only India truely know itself.

Sadly showing empathy had not worked out, so instead it's good to show contempt from now on.

Do yoga my friend, will calm you down.

BTW that laughing emoji at the end does not make sense, if you are laughing at the misfortune of the poor dalit man it is high time you seek mental help.

That is because you separately quoted that upbringing part, good to know you weren't irked.
