Who is #DeltaMeghwal? A 17 year-old #Dalit student from Barmer, who was first raped by her PT teacher & then murdered by those involved.
First, she is sent to CLEAN her teacher's room. Why is a student sent to clean rooms? Because she is #Dalit & we must be shown 'our place'
The person sending her to 'clean' is none other than the hostel warden, the same person her parents trusted her safety with: #PriyaShukla
Then PT teacher #VijendraSingh who planned this, rapes her. Let's not forget #Dalitwomen's bodies are only made to please #uppercaste men.
But institute admin can't have a scandal, with all these #Dalits. No sir! So they force her to sign a letter saying the 'rape' was mutual.
Imagine the mind state of a 17 year child,1st raped & humiliated,& then forced to concede to say that she wanted it! She wanted to be raped!
She signs, b/c obviously! Next day, her 'body' is suddenly discovered in a water tank. Q. Who commits suicide by jumping in a water tank?
What does admin do? They call a 'garbage tractor' to take her body away? Could there be a more perfect send-off for a #Dalit?? Guess not!
Now #DetaMeghwal is just one #Dalit girl raped and definitely killed by a teaching institute. Not goons, not a gang, but a place of learning
When u r #Dalit, u can be raped, murdered & hauled away in a garbage tractor, & no one has to care. Coz that's how u treat subhuman #Dalits.
Why shd it matter that a child was 'raped' in her own school, by her own teacher, killed & thrown away. She is #Dalit, that's what happens
Why is anyone surprised that the media doesn't care? When does media care? Only when #uppercaste students also protest it.
Let's wait for the #uppercastes to throw their merciful glances at us, so our murders, rapes & abuse can also get some attention.
And if they don't. Oh what the hell. We are #Dalits. We are used to it. #DeltaMeghwal #rape #murder #Bikaner #student
BTW, #deltameghwal was her village's 1st #Dalit girl to get higher edu. Her 'murder' is now an excuse for villagers to not educate girls.
He father was an educator, she was a brilliant student, yet she was made to clean rooms, wash pots hindustantimes.com/jaipur/dalit-e… via @akhbaarwaala
Only so that she doesn't get empowered, starts believing in herself and NEVER forgets her REAL place as a #dalit. #deltameghwal
