Justice for Dalits still a dream (The Hindu)
"When the Dalits attempted to take out their procession, the police stopped them. The next day, in blatant violation of the law, the sarpanch allegedly instigated upper caste youth to attack the Dalits with hatchets and sickles by making announcements on a loudspeaker from the local temple. The attackers did not spare even women and children.... Instead of arresting those who attacked the Dalits, the police arrested 15 Dalits on false charges ranging from 'dacoity' to 'attempt to murder.'"
