An absolute biased verdict based on deliberate overlooking of discrepancies in UP police investigation that involved 4 Hindu Thakur men to reach highly flawed decision shows that BJP doesn't really care about VALMIKI Dalits.
This is what RSS head Mohan Bhagwat said about VALMIKI DALIT community less than 6 months back. 👇
VALMIKI Dalits are very "weak". They are lagging behind. They still face untouchability and we (Upper Caste Hindus) need to change our mindset towards them.
19 year old Manisha Valmiki, was found by her family, bleeding and paralysed, her tongue split & her spine broken on 14th September 2020 in Hathras in Western UP. She had gone to fetch cattle fodder, when she was attacked by SANDEEP SISODIA, a Hindu Rajput & 3 other Thakur men.
4 Hindu Thakur/Rajput men dragged her aside & sexually assaulted her. When she resisted, SANDEEP, main accused pulled her dupatta (scarf), which twisted her neck, broke her spine, rendered her paralyzed & in struggle that ensued, she bit her tongue & laid bare on ground bleeding.
Cut to 2023.
A Special SC/ST Court & its judge TRILOK PAL SINGH gave following verdict:
1. Only SANDEEP is guilty. Rest 3 Thakur men are innocent & acquitted.
2. But SANDEEP is guilty NOT of murder & rape. He is guilty only of "culpable homicide" (a lesser offense than murder)
"NO Rape & NO Murder. Just an unintentional accidental mishap."
That above ☝️was crux of the decision of so called SC/ST court, which was so unbelievably insensitive towards brutalized SC girl.
It makes one think if the "Special Court" was really a designated SC/ST court ?
Back to 2020, when Hathras Case broke:
"Hathras girl was murdered by her own mother & brother", scremed this headline of "reputed" Dainik Jagran, Hindi daily.
In 2020, entire BJP IT cell & (Upper Caste Hindu dominated) Media went beserk on character assassination of Manisha.
AMIT MALVIYA, BJP IT cell head personally tweeting (in 2020) that Manisha Valmiki's family was refusing Narco test.
Narco Test for what?
To determine that Manisha Valmiki was having "affair" with Thakur boy, which angered them to kill Manisha in rage.
In 2020, "Prem Sambandh" (illicit love affair) was dominating tag line of Upper Caste Hindu dominated Media/Social Media that basically asserted that "loose character" Dalit girls are throwing themselves at innocent Thakur men, who then get implicated in "false" criminal cases.
"Saving YOGI"
Thakur Ajay Kumar Bhist, originally a native of Uttarakhand & former head priest of Baba Gorakhnath temple in Gorakhpur (UP/Nepal border) was BJP's "show case" CM in "show case" state of UP in 3rd yr of his first term.
His reputation had to be saved at any cost.
Shameless & brazen manner in which body of MANISHA VALMIKI was cremated without consent of her family defined cruel insensitivity of BJP & YOGI ADITYANATH regime towards Dalit community.
And both YOGI & BJP did this only because MANISHA was from VALMIKI community.
DALIT VALMIKI WOMEN:
Who are they ?
In local language of Western UP, they are "Bhangan" (female for "Bhangi", a caste slur used for VALMIKI Dalits) who clean latrines of homes of Upper & OBC castes.
They are lowest in DALIT hierarchy of North India.
"Special Court" in dismissing rape charges in Manisha Valmiki's case relied on absence of semen in her Forensic Report. Special Court "ignored" the fact that there was delay of 11 (eleven) days in collection of sample.
This is statement of MANISHA VALMIKI made 7 days before her death in front of District Magistrate (Naib Tehsildar) Allahabad, Manish Kumar, which is akin to DYING DECLARATION in which she says that she was raped by 4 men.
Why did "Special SC/ST" court reject statement of Manisha Kumari made on camera before Magistrate ?
Because "Special Court" felt that her statement (while she was wreathing in pain & struggling to breathe) was "TUTORED" due to "HIGH POLITICS" of the case & was thus unreliable.
"Special Court" essentially discredited (Dying Declaration) statement of MANISHA VALMIKI before Magistrate, where she mentions rape & murderous assault both. "Special Court" simply dismissed it all saying that she was "taught" by those around her to say so, due to "high politics"
These are 3 Hindu Thakur men (other than SANDEEP SISODIA) being released from jail after verdict.
You can see them smiling as they come out of jail, even as their families said that (festival of) Holi has come early for these 3 Thakur men & their clan.
This is Sudhir Chaudhary on Aaj Tak channel "celebrating" Special Court verdict by saying that Manisha Valmiki "changed" her statement to implicate 3 innocent Thakur men after being prompted by politicians (CONGRESS party) to malign (Yogi/Modi) sarkar.
YOGI ADITYANATH & BJP suffered ZERO political cost due to Hathras gangrape & murder case, which was highlighted widely by opposition politicians and activists both.
BJP won Hathras assembly seat with HUGE MARGIN, just 2 years later in 2022.
1,00,000 votes.
Yes, BJP'S Anjula Singh Mahaur (Hindu Jat) won Hathras Assembly seat by huge huge over one Lakh votes. He received 1.5 Lakh votes, while his nearest rival of BSP party received only 50,000 votes.
Valmikis traditionally supporter of CONGRESS party (and NOT BSP) have shifted to AAP in Delhi & to BJP in UP. In 2022 UP elections Valmikis voted in large number for BJP. Anoop Pradhan Valmiki is state revenue minister in Yogi government & part of BJP's Valmiki appropriation.
Having forgotten MANISHA VALMIKI as "bad PR incident", BJP & Yogi Adityanath administration are now enthusiastically "celebrating" Maharishi Valmiki Jayanti to further cement BJP's growing hold over Valmiki SC community in UP for 2024 Lok Sabha elections.
"Without (Maharishi) Valmiki, we (Hindus) wouldn't have known Ram".
Says who ?
Says, Mohan Bhagwat, head of RSS in a bid to strengthen attempts to harden ties of Valmiki Dalits with Ramayana & mainstream Hinduism, which would eventually help BJP only.
No, RSS chief didn't utter a word about MANISHA VALMIKI, while he was paying his respect to Maharishi Valmiki on Valmiki Jayanti.
This as Manisha Valmiki's family lives in terrible fear & guarded round the clock by 30 CRPF men & literally imprisoned in their house in Hathras.
Lastly,
This is huge contingent of UP police escorting dead body of Manisha Valmiki in dead night of September 2020, which they cremated hurriedly, even as Manisha's family was locked in their house.
More than 100 people, mostly women & children from Dalit Jatav caste die in stampede at gathering of Vishwa Hari "Bhole Baba" aka "Narayan Sarkar", a self styled Hindu "Guru" also from Jatav caste with massive following among Jatav Dalits.
"Bhole Baba" (real name: Suraj Pal), a former lower rank IB official, who took early retirement from government service to preach message of "Hari" (Hindu God Vishnu & his avatar Krishna) to mostly gullible Hindi speaking Dalits & lower OBC castes in Western Uttar Pradesh.
"Dalit Brahminism"
Taking advantage of the fact that vast majority of Dalits, particularly from Hindi speaking Jatav Scheduled Caste community of Western UP, Haryana and Eastern Rajasthan are heavily drawn towards mainstream Brahminical Hinduism, Suraj Pal Dalitized Brahminism.
Artsy movie by North Indian Upper Caste Indian Muslim movie director Imtiaz Ali on elitist Netflix movie platform has suddenly brought 80's Indian Punjab's Chamar/Ravidassia Punjabi Dalit legendary singer DANNI RAM (from same caste as KANSHI RAM) into focus.
Does the movie do justice to DANNI RAM ?
Movie is Imtiaz Ali's sanitized Upper Caste Muslim take on life of Punjabi Dalit singer/lyricist DANNI RAM aka Amar Singh Chamkila, which largely absolves & white washes Indian Punjab's powerful Upper Caste & OBC caste Sikh communities.
Did CASTE kill DANNI RAM in religious society of Punjabi Sikhs of Indian Punjab that claims to follow a faith (Sikhi/Sikhism) that is supposed to be caste neutral?
Answer to this question is YES, but it is not exactly same as many non-Punjabi anti caste activists think it to be.
UPPER CASTE & DOMINANT OBC caste Pakistani Punjabi Muslims from caste groups like SYEDS, PATHANS, AWANS, JATS, GUJJARS, ARAINS etc. think that they are fair complexion TURKS type of "Superior Muslims", while "Indian Hindus" are dark, timid & ugly people.
This Pakistani Punjabi OBC Muslim filth called Imam ul Haq from ARAIN (agriculturalist/gardner) caste sexualized minor TAMIL girls singing DIL DIL PAKISTAN as symbol of superior "Punjabi Muslim" masculinity.

BUDDHISM IN CONTEMPORARY INDIA
Buddhism is among fastest growing religion in India and its estimated that India's Buddhist population has already crossed 1 crore mark (estmate 1.15 - 1.25 crore).
What is most interesting thing about BUDDHISM in contemporary India is its much wider spread and presence of followers of both:
1. Ambedkrite Buddhism
2. Traditional Buddhism
(a) Mahayana Buddhism, including Tibetan/Vajrayana Buddhism
(b) Threvada Buddhism
AMBEDKARITE BUDDHISM
Ambedkrite Buddhism often called Neo Buddhism is largest Indian Buddhist community, with estimated 9 to 10 million followers.
MAHARASHTRA is home to 90% of Ambedkrite Buddhists. They constitute 6% of total population of Maharashtra.
If Jat/Jutt Sikhs and KHALISTAN are an "inseparable", then why are young Jat/Jutt Sikhs of Indian Punjab state wining Gold Medals and sporting accolades for India ?
Can Canada based Khalistani Jutt/Jat Sikhs on payrolls of Pakistan's ISI answer please.
Calling off bluff of Canada based Khalistani separatists, who constitute miniscule minority of Jutt Sikhs, who have created "Khalistan nuisance" for entire Sikh community, younger generation of Jutt Sikhs of Punjab are wining accolades for India at international sporting events.
Jutt/Jat Sikhs, often stereotyped as ardent supporters of Sikh supremacist theological autocratic independent country of "Khalistan" are actually not that enthusiastic supporters of Khalistan as they are made out to be. These young Jutt Sikh sportsmen are testimony of that.
The much talked about wedding scene from "Made in Heaven: Season 2" Webseries is non-Brahminical & non-Vedic AMBEDKARITE BUDDHIST WEDDING.
The short movie is part of the 5 part episode of the Webseries and is directed by an acclaimed Marathi Dalit director Neeraj Ghaywan.
This is first time that WORLD is witnessing cinematic portrayal of an Indian Buddhist Wedding or to be precise-AMBEDKARITE BUDDHIST WEDDING.
The beautifully & aesthetically picturized wedding scene with background tune of "Buddham Sharnam Gachammi" is immensely powerful visual.
Radhika Apte's character wades through pool of water, full of lotus flowers (symbol of Buddhism) to reach wedding stage. Scene is director Ghaywan's cinematic tribute to Babasaheb Ambedkar's Mahad water satyagraha, wherein Babasaheb fought for rights of Dalits to use public tank.
