>> "Why the country did not rise in revolt then? " - Sanket

Huh!! These casteists are so useless and lazy that they expect others to protest on their behalf. 

It is amazing how some idiots can bring up caste identities even in rape cases.

I should have ignored your ost. But I decided to write a few words.

Pandit Iswar Chandra Vidyasagar has occupied huge space in history as a social reformer because he began campaign for widow marriage. He succeeded in getting a few, I don't know the exact number of marriage of widowds solemnized.  It may not be even a dozen. But historians and intellectuals have  sugn paeans for him and overrated his contribution.

The Pandit didn't note, much less recognize, that about 2.5 crores of people of various castes, besides Muslims in Bengal, Bihar & Orissa allowed widow marriage. They were one and all low and backward castes. The pratice of widow marriage itself was condemned by the upper caste, called bhadralok euphemism for Brahman, Baidya and Kayasth. 

The reformer himself or historians  never pointed out the limitation of his reform movement which was confined amongst the upper three castes.

In his own district, Midnapur,  for instance, in 1860s a Namasudra woman was remarried after she became widow and had two sons. Her father had arranged this marriage in accordance with the custom of the caste. After her father's death, her uncle tried to deprive her of her father's properties.  She moved the Munsif court, Tamluk. Vidyasagar, who hailed from neighbouring Ghatal Subdivision in Midnapur did not know it. The Munsif, a Hindu dismissed her petition, saying her father did not pay salami to zamindar, brahman, barbar and hence the marriage in sagai form was infructuous. Vidyassagar was unaware of it. She challenged the Munsif's decision in appeal to Sub Judge, Midnapur. The appellate courVidyasagr was unconcerned. 

Undaunted, the Namasudra woman, also known as Chandal, moved the Calcutta High Court. The High Court Division comprising two English Judge allowed her petition saying the marraige performed in accordance with the custom of the community was valid. They dismissed the view that non-payment of salami to landlord, brahman, barbar did  not invalidate the marriage. The High Court allowed her right of inheritance.

Such historical facts have been swept under the carpet by the intellectuals and historians besides the overrated social reformer. He was actually a caste former.  

"A sexual assault crime is a crime whether it happens to a BC or SC or FC , rich, or middle class or poor..

Only a perverted rabble rouser will use this as an opportunity to indulge in class and caste hatred.

True crime is a crime. Did you know since when New York Times, Huffington Post, Chicago Tribune, (USA) Times, Daily Mail, Guardian, Independent, London, BBC, CNN, German TV have been covering  rapes after rapes of dalit girls in Haryana? Since last six month western media have been extensively covering rapes of dalit women in Haryana. How come Indian media did not show as much tenacity as they have done for Delhi girl's rape. How come the agitatros emerged from JNU, DU, Jamia Milia, Amity University now,  not a few weeks before for dalit victims of rapes? How come the President, Prime Minister and Sonia Gandhi granted audience to a few of them on demand? 

Is the victim a non-dalit? We believe so. All their cry revolves round Delhi rape victim. How isn't she different?

PM and Sonia Gandhi went to receive her dead body when it arrived from Singapore at 3.30AM. I appreciate their guesture. But does not it indicate she different? 

A  16 year old dalit  girl was raped by 8 (may be 12) beasts. Seven of thse beasts arrested, according to New York Times, are JATS. Why the country did not rise in revolt then?  The Haryana Chief Minister does not take action against the brutes  because you know why?

 Did we know how it was when Christ was nailed to death. Do we know how it wqas when Lord Shiva drank poison during 'Amrit Manthan'. Today we see 'manthan' going on. Damini the braveheart girl sacrificed her life in the same way as those great solus. I beleive Daminiwas not just another rape victim (I am not underplaying media's role) . The way every person feels as if they were connected to her without even knowing her name caste etc.She was a great soul and this was her part/ role/ avtar to wake up people from calcutta to Bombay and Jammu to Chennai.
