Citizen Forum activists hold placards and banners during a protest march over the death of a 19-year-old Dalit woman who was allegedly gang-raped in Hathras, in Amritsar.
The case came to light in September, 2018 when the victim, all of 11 years, was found to be pregnant upon being taken to a doctor by her parents who got worried over her frequent bouts of illness.
Five-year-old Pari’s corpse racks Odisha still. Her parents swore by fire to accuse an organ trader and a minister. The SIT has a new claim, but no one believes it.
The Indian media has always looked at Dalit issues through an opaque prism -- an unstated, but always-present savarna filter. And that's just one part of the problem.
What happened in Hathras was brutality of unimaginable magnitude. Insensitive and arrogant officials turned it into an even bigger nightmare for the victim's family and friends.
