India turning into new nightmare for minorities.
When Bhimrao Ramji Ambedkar wrote the modern constitution of India, following independence from British Raj in 1947, he clearly rejected discrimination on the basis of the caste system. Ambedkar himself had come from the Dalit community.
India’s constitution is now 66 years old. Yet even today, the situation for many Dalits remains unchanged. Hindu fundamentalists are aggressively persecuting Dalits. Last month, two Dalits were forced to eat cow dung and urine as a punishment for delivering beef to Mumbai. They were chased for 7 KM by the local mob. Then they were forced to eat about 5 KG of cow dung each, and physically tortured. These cases are the only glimpses of what is happening in India. Millions of minority people are living under threat every day.
