We don't care bout #Dalitlives. It's obvious. So when a #Dalit student is raped/murdered, intestines pulled out,we won't beg you for empathy
If u don't care about #Jisha being brutally tortured, stab & mutilated, don't. But don't even for one sec, question it being a caste crime.
Here's why: Dalit women, esp #Jisha, are at the bottom of every societal structure. Caste, class & gender. Meaning: Dalit, poor & a woman.
Dalit women, for millennia, have been treated/viewed as property by savarna men. Most those men think they own #dalit women.
Whenever #Dalitwomen try to assert their basic human rights, like #Jisha's mother did by being independent, they r 'taught a lesson' = rape
#Jisha's inhuman death should curdle your blood if you choose to care, but don't be surprised. That's how #Dalitwomen are always treated!
#Dalitwomen are always raped,paraded naked,forced to eat excreta to either teach them or their caste a lesson. It happened b4, wl happen agn
Bcoz once #Dalit women start asserting their rights, they threaten the caste system. Who will u subjugate if #dalitwomen get powerful?
Savarna men, the custodians of caste, will always rape #dalitwomen, pull their insides out, smash their head. Time you stop being surprised!
