Regardless of whether the kids were beaten by #Dalits or non-Dalits, they were beaten FOR BEING #Dalit. That's what makes their caste imp.

So this tweet is making all trolls rabid. A. It's in a context. The pretext of beating & humiliating them was theft. That's a fact.

I started by acknowledging that the kids were accused of that crime. But their form of humiliation aligns to a known pattern of caste hatred

Stripping and beating of #Dalits is EXTREMELY common in India. Not to forget, this was done to children,

My entire argument is: The WAY these #dalitkids were beaten or humiliated was because of their caste. It's NOT something that can be ignored

I already mentioned: No arrests were made for their abuse till yesterday, while the kids were arrested immediately.

This crime is a part of a pattern of crimes against Dalits, especially #Dalitchildren, most of which go unreported.

Again,even if they were beaten by #Dalits, it's coz of caste & the structure in which #casteism exists & perpetuates (theft being secondary)

Of course, understanding this requires nuance, context & an open mind. Neither of which I expect from #casteist trolls flooding my mentions.

Also,as a rule, I tweet in clusters to make a whole point. If ur an idiot & want to pick 1 tweet for my entire argument,I couldn't care less

Lastly to trolls: If the best you can do is use the same abuses from 2013, then you are miserably failing at the job you're paid to do.
