Dalit atrocities: harayana carnage not isolated, here are some of the most brutal caste-crimes recently

On March 19th 2015, the headless bodies of two Dalit labourers, Krishnayya and Nanjayya were found in Chamrajnagar, 60 kilometers away from Mysuru. Just 50 feet away from the bodies, the

alleged murderer and plantation owner Mahadevan was found hiding in the bushes. The villagers allege that Mahadeva was a well known sorcerer and that it was definitely a case of witch craft

and human sacrifice. Surprisingly enough, this incident only appeared as a brief report in the crime columns on most newspapers. “When Dalits are not allowed entry into temples, how can they

be offered in sacrifice?” Siddaraju, State Coordinator of the National Campaign for Dalit Human Rights asked The Hindustan Times, a paper that covered this incident in elaborate detail. The

irony is that Dalits remain to be the most sought after for human sacrifices to Gods and Goddesses.
