Been laying low on the violent attacks on Dalits peacefully gathered at #BhimaKoregaon that resulted in extensive damage to Dalit property & the death of a young man. Dalit history has prepared us for this exact outcome several times, be it Mahar Satyagrah or Nagpur Temple Entry
Each time Dalit assert themselves or show pride in their history, UCs retaliate with violence.
The only difference this time, Dalits decided to collectively exhibit just what could result if the abuse of 25% of country's population is constantly ignored.

If #MumbaiBandh and the 'inconvenience' of thousands of people is what it takes for UCs and mainstream media to pay attention to Dalit violence and abuse, then perhaps that's how last resorts look like.
