Stop Dalit atrocities and Brutality against dalits in India

Honorable President and Prime Minister of India.

We the dalits and others alike from all over the world are gravely concerned about the resurgence of ghastly attack & caste based cruelty on dalits, the recent brutal Khairlanji incident in Maharashtra, Lynching of Five dalits in Haryana, barbaric attack and mutilation of Bant Singh’s hands and legs in Punjab, rape of a 5 year old minor dalit girl in UP are just the tip of the iceberg about dalit atrocity. 

Recent incidence of a rape of a 5 year old dalit girl in U.P, in which the local administration including the police has been stalling the FIR (first information Reporting) filed by the girls father until the issue got widely publicized by the press, no action was taken. The little poor girl is savaged by these Hindu animals, the girl required to undergo multiple surgical procedure just to rescue her from incomprehensible, inhuman behaviors of adult Hindu's who rapped a child, her parents cannot afford to help the girl medically as the medical care is beyond the poor parents means, this is India. So is the case of a dalit singer Bant Sing in Punjab. These incidents remind us all of the dark ages of the mankind that was grossly uncivilized. In state of Haryana, the brutal incidences of Gohana and Kila Jafargarh, in which jats out rightly waged war against the dalits, burnt their houses and beat their women, children and elderly, lead their exodus from their native place where they have been living for generations. These attacks on dalits are unleashed by caste hindu’s were grossly unaccounted and police did not take appropriate actions.

Sir, you have the moral responsibility to protect the armless innocent dalits. Otherwise a farce is made of Indian democracy. We demand on behalf of dalits of India the following actions by the Indian government under your tutelage:-

1. Chief Ministers of Punjab, Haryana, Maharashtra must be asked to resign and a new Chief Minister be elected , who is able to protect and defend dalits, otherwise it will have adverse political effect for the Congress party and Central government to the sovereignty of our nation. 

2. Home Minister too must be made responsible and accountable for the inefficient law and order, home minister must take stern actions against the rogue states which have failed to maintain law and order in the country, criminals should be booked under atrocities act, who must spend time in jail and make their life difficult and be made to realize that if you commit a crime, you will be treated harshly as a deterrence tool. 
3. And federal/central forces have to be called to maintain law and order in vulnerable areas were innocent dalits were targeted and systematically attacked by upper castes. Dalits lives should be protected at any cost, a special task force, law and enforcement constituting dalit specialists and trained dalit experts should be posted in these areas.

4. The victims and their families that were affected must be completely rehabilitated and compensated for the loss of their loved one's. The government cannot restitute a dead person of one's loved one, it is such a miserable state of law in India. In this internet age and communication era, the news of atrocities on Dalits spread all over the world in a blink of an eye. Taking no action or delayed justice to victims only will bring further shame and bad name to the nation of India and to your ruling government. 

Sir, please note that these events are not without repercussions in India or overseas.

Thus, Sir, we appeal to your able and good office to ask you and or your agents i.e. the Central and State government to intervene immediately on dalit atrocity on an EMERGENCY basis. How many lives will be lost and how much blood must be spilled before intervention. Dalits freedom, dalits life and their well being are constantly in danger, your immediate intervention is needed to safeguard dalit community and our society. 

Yours Sincerely, 

On behalf of the millions of Dalit victims and on behalf of all the dalits, the Undersigned.
