Dalit brothers who belong to a caste so poor they eat dead mice were lynched in Bihar for the suspicion of stealing hindustantimes.com/india-news/tak…
Predictable reactions from people who either find nothing wrong with lynch mobs or don't understand the concept of systemic injustice follow
1. Villagers didn't know they were Dalit but only treated them as thieves - False, since most Dalits are forced to live outside the village
2. Why only highlight Dalit or Muslim lynchings, when others are killed too -- hindustantimes.com/india-news/86-… <--- ingrained systemic injustice
3. If you speak on these lynchings why not on other deaths that took place 30/50/500 years ago? - a) for real? b) so we can do something NOW
4. Lynchings took place earlier too -- So that makes it okay to kill 16-year-olds and children in the present?
If you fail to acknowledge/protest the recently emboldened mobs who kill men, women, children w/o impunity, you are part of the problem.
Those who were too relieved coz it was Bihar & didn't involve beef -- a Muslim man was beaten to death in Jharkhand
