Caste Violence In Bhandara

Kherlanji - The Face Of Rural India

The Kherlanji case in Vidharbha district of Maharashtra State is a dark spot for the whole Country and shows a big loop hole in the Governance and Administration of the State of Maharashtra and the Country.

Our Country is in her transit phase from developing to developed is still not enroute to developed. The reins are still held by regressive thoughts, concepts, norms, values of the Caste & Varna system. The rural sector which constitutes a major chunk of Indian population is caste divided. The practice of untouchability in rural areas on the basis of varna system is a major issue. Secondary status of women, rapes, killing of women who try to protest gender, caste or class violence is a common phenomenon in “our rurals”. Politicians’ linked with goons, fanaticism, vote bank, dominant caste & developmental politics etc. is an everyday happening.

The brutal violence, killing, rape of the members of the Dalit family in Kherlanji village of Bhandara district is one small example of the “natural phenomenon” happening in the rurals. Vidharbha- marred by developmental politics from West Maharashtra is one of the worst tales in the history of Indian Governance. The Government has set up a Samiti along with an enquiry by the CBI. What is left to enquire about this issue when the whole village was an eye witness to this incident? Moreover all these samitis, policies, reforms (majorly the land reforms) to develop the rural sector has failed to deliver justice. Then how can one rely on this Samiti for justice?Please ensure that this poor Dalit family gets free fair impartial justice- at the earliest. Please ensure that there is no conflict between Bharat & India.
