At the end of Purulia Panchayat elections two Dalits were found brutally murdered by hanging: one on tree and other on Power pole. On their t-shirts it was written "killed for doing BJP". There has been Dalit atrocities in India before but this time they had a new killer. The Trinamool Congress cadres under the leadership of nephew of CM of Bengal, Mr. Abhishek Banerjee were the chief suspects. A day before the killings took place there was an order to make district of Purulia, please read opposition-less.
What was surprising was the silence of the mainstream media houses, chiefly the Quint, NDTV who make political news item even if a Dalit snitches. The most surprising was silence of the champions of downtrodden: Mayawati and Lalu.
It is hoped that Dalits see the light that at the end of the day they are just political fodder. It is now a necessity that Dalits be identified themselves as Hindus. The RSS and other Hindu Right wing organizations should give them their due respect back.
