UpperCaste Gang that kills mother, son and rapes daughter, just 14 year: Worst India Castevirus 001TN2018

28Feb18

A gang on Thursday beat an eight-year-old boy from the dalit community to death and sexually assaulted his mother and sister, who are now in a critical condition, near Arakandanallur in Villupuramdistrict.
It is suspected that the assault maybe the fallout of a rivalry with people belonging to non-dalit communities from the same area. This is the third incident of attack on people from the dalit community under Arakandanallur police station limits since December 31, 2017. Police said the woman was living with a daughter, 14, and son after her husband died five years ago.

 

Bother Crushed

Mother Smashed

Sister GANG raped and Killed mercilessly by Caste Goons

Her other three sons are settled in Bengaluru, while her elder daughter works in a garment unit at Tirupur.

Police said unidentified men barged into their house while the three were asleep in the wee hours of Thursday. The men assaulted the boy who died on the spot. They later allegedly sexually assaulted the woman and her minor daughter.

The issue came to light when the woman’s neighbours noticed that the house remained bolted for a long time on Thursday morning.

They entered the house only to find the boy dead. They found the woman and her daughter lying with severe injuries and their clothes torn apart. They immediately alerted the Arakandanallur police station.

Police admitted the injured to Thirukovilyur Government General Hospital. Doctors, after extending first-aid, referred them to Mundiyampakkam Government Medical College and Hospital at Villupuram. The doctors there again referred them to Jipmer for further treatment.

16Feb18

 

An investigation into the incident is under way, the police said, adding, according to their initial assessment, there was “serious negligence” on part of the hatchery management in ensuring adequate safety measures at the site.

At least seven workers of a private hatchery died of asphyxiation inside a drain in Chittoor district of Andhra Pradesh on Friday morning.

Chittoor superintendent of police (SP) G Srinivas said the incident took place in Venkateshwara Hatchery in Moram village. Four workers fell unconscious after they entered the drain in Palamaneru for cleaning purpose. Three others, who entered the drain to rescue the four workers, also fell unconscious.

Residents rushed to the spot to rescue the workers, however, all of them had died by the time their bodies were pulled out. The two workers, who raised the alarm, entered the drain for rescue work and fell unconscious. The duo are currently undergoing treatment in a hospital.

Caste and Cricket

14Nov17

Following published article in a leading daily suggests affirmative action in Indian cricket on the lines of South African policy of compulsory 50% Black players intake.

What’s as pervasive in India as caste? An interest in cricket. What do the two have to tell about India when brought together? A lot, it turns out.

Between January and July 2017, 1,261 Indian men aged 14-30 from eight gram panchayats near Varanasi with roughly equal numbers of General, OBC, and SC/ST residents participated in cricket tournaments for money. The results of this socioeconomic experiment, carried out by MIT’s Abdul Latif Jameel Poverty Action Lab, show that when people from different castes collaborate towards a common goal, it leads to more cross-caste friendships and less caste-based discrimination.

Led by economist Matt Lowe, the study is first to show that the impact of such a contact between castes depends on the nature of interaction. “Collaborative contact increases willingness to interact with men from other castes, reduces own-caste favoritism, and increases efficiency. In contrast, adversarial contact has no positive impacts, and can even have negative effects,” argue the researchers.

One of the criteria for choosing the gram panchayats was that they had to have caste-segregated hamlets. When the cricket-crazy young men–48 percent of them had played in a cricket tournament in the past 12 months—hit the field, those assigned to mixed teams made more other-caste friends, chose more other-caste teammates, put ability over caste in choosing teams, and engaged in more cross-caste trade after leaving the experiment than those kept in the control group.

“Having all other-caste teammates instead of none increases the number of other-caste friends by 1.2, while having all other-caste opponents instead of none decreases the number of other-caste friends by 5.5,” notes the study.

What of own-caste favouritism? The players voted to choose one representative from each team who would be sent out to receive professional cricket coaching.

“General castes show the most in-group favoritism in voting, followed by OBCs. General castes on average rank someone from a different caste 0.78 positions lower – this outgroup bias is larger than the effect of the votee being a full two standard deviations worse in bowling, batting, and fielding ability. The own-caste favoritism of SC/STs is small and statistically insignificant,” says the study, confirming the general asymmetry in caste discrimination. However, the researchers found that collaborative contact reduced “own-caste favoritism in voting by up to 33%, while adversarial has no effect.”

The study also makes an attempt at decoding the myth of cricketing ability.

“SC/ST players are worse at cricket, conditional on age. Their maximum bowling speed is on average 3.45 km/h slower than that of General castes (0.34 s.d.), and they hit 0.31 fewer 4s/6s (0.24 s.d.), and catch 0.22 fewer balls (0.19 s.d.).” OBC players, the researchers learnt, do not differ significantly from General castes under any measure of ability. As with other arenas, the performance gap can be attributed to the difference in opportunities.

“In choosing captains, the batting order, and who bowls, teams can show favoritism towards one caste over others. Favoritism of upper castes exists for all three types of allocation. SC/STs are significantly less likely to be chosen as captains, and less favored in the batting and bowling orders.”

Notably, little changed when ability controls were added. “The evidence suggests that teams actively discriminate against lower castes. Considering the coefficient on age, SC/STs are effectively treated like a General caste four or five years their junior. OBCs also appear to be less favored than General castes, but the effect is much smaller and significant only for batting order choices.”

The situation is hardly limited to rural Uttar Pradesh. Questions about the prevalence of caste in Indian cricket have been asked before. In July, the union minister of state for social justice, Ramdas Athawale, demanded reservations for SC-ST communities in the Indian cricket team to increase its efficiency. The statement led to a furious debate about merit and cricket of which nothing came out.

In 2016, South Africa started racial quotas — a minimum of six black players — for the national cricket team in an attempt to address decades of under-representation of black Africans in the sport. This was introduced after a demand to enforce quotas had led to long-running divisions in the cricket establishment since the South African team’s re-entry to the international arena in 1991.

Looking at the broader picture, the study uses the findings to argue that “affirmative action policies that place under-performing and discriminated against minorities in contact with a dominant group may nevertheless lead to improved intergroup relations.”

Police murders a Mother: Castevirus 002UP2017

31Oct17

A young Dalit woman, nine months pregnant, and her unborn child died allegedly after being brutally beaten up by the police in the Barabanki district of Uttar Pradesh. The incident took place late on Sunday night in the Mankapur locality of the Asandra police station area in Barabanki district.

Family members of 22-year-old Ruchi, who belong to the scheduled caste Rawat community, alleged that armed police dragged her from their house and beat her badly with wooden sticks, including on her stomach, until she died on the spot. The police persons who thrashed Ruchi were there to investigate illegal alcohol production and decided that she was hiding liquor in her belly, said family members.

The police, denying the allegation, stated that the young woman died of a heart attack. Locals who were witness to the incident said that a police party raided Ruchi’s house in search of country-made liquor on Sunday night. After the raid, scared male members of the family ran away from the house but Ruchi, in the last days of her pregnancy, was unable to escape. The police thrashed her outside the house, beat her with wooden sticks and kicked her on her stomach, they said.

The incident was brought to the attention of top police and administrative officials, but no FIR has been lodged regarding the death of the Dalit pregnant woman. Talking to The Wire, Faizabad IG Rajiv Prakash said, “According to a Supreme Court ruling, an FIR cannot be lodged against any public servant before the matter is probed, so the probe has been ordered. If police persons are found guilty, then they will be booked.”

Arvind Rawat, Ruchi’s husband, said that he works in a local poultry farm and neither him nor his family members are involved in the making of country liquor. “In our village, no one is involved in this illegal business. Only on a suspicion the police raided our house. We were scared of the khaki uniforms, so we hid ourselves and ran some distance. When we heard Ruchi shouting, then we and other villagers rushed to the spot, but by then they had killed my wife. After Ruchi died, the policemen fled,” he said.

Susheel Singh, circle officer of Ram Sanehi Ghat police circle, the jurisdiction in which the incident occurred, said, “We have arrested three persons from the village on charges of making country liquor. We got news that some woman has died and locals are alleging the police party killed the woman.”

This incident comes two weeks after Savitri Devi, also a pregnant Dalit woman, was beaten for accidentally ‘touching’ a bucket belonging to an upper caste Thakur woman in UP’s Bulandshahr district. Savitri and her unborn child died on October 21, six days after the upper caste woman and her son beat the Dalit woman. The local hospital had refused to treat Savitri when they saw that she had no external injuries.

Caste demands Murder for Love: Castevirus003TN2017

18Apr17

Condemn this brutal murder!
Punish the casteist culprits, for the ghastly murder of a dalit boy!

Friends, I am shocked and immensely pained at the news of the brutal murder of a dalit boy from Khanapur in Manthani mandal, Peddapalli district, Manthani Madhukar, for his “crime” of loving an “upper caste” girl or reciprocating her love. The murder, too horrible to even imagine with cutting penis, severe injuries all over the body, is said to have taken place on March 14 or a day later, but came to light two days ago. According to reports, the boy was a farmhand working with the family of the girl who loved him and he reciprocated. In fact, the girl’s caste is listed as “Backward Caste” but Manudharma and feudal and strait-jacketed hierarchical caste system assigns “upper” position to each caste to look down the castes
“lower” to it. And of course dalit is not only “lowest”, but “untouchable”. And lord Krishna, himself, in Bhagavadgita pronounced that “swadharme nidhanam shreyah paradharmo bhayaavahah” (everybody has to perform the work destined to him, doing the other person’s job is dangerous) prohibiting caste mingling.

There are Manuvadis and followers of Gita everywhere and the BC family members forced the girl to call the boy to the house and started beating him before her. The girl tried to commit suicide and consumed pesticide and she was moved to a hospital. She was afraid that her family killed the boy, and informed the same to his family. When his family searched around the village, they found the dead body in bushes on the outskirts.

Pic01: His life taken for his love, cruel India.

The dead body had telltale signs of pouring acid, cutting penis, breaking ribs and forcing pesticide into mouth. It is learnt that the girl’s family is related to the local TRS MLA. That is, he is part of the team that ushers in Bangaru Telangana. Even when all the cruelty came out white, the local police, and particularly the CI, said it is a case of suicide! That is the way “people-friendly Telangana police” are taught to behave. Shame….
