Hate Watch: Woman beaten, dragged out of temple, shows CCTV in Karnataka

A woman was allegedly beaten up for entering a temple in Amruthalli in Bengaluru, Karnataka. As per news reports, the 65-year-old man in charge of the temple, who beat her, has been arrested.

While some publications claimed she is a Dalit and even the woman appears to have spoken to the media that the accused hurled casteist abuses at her, the police have told a few media portals that the woman is of unsound mind and is not a Dalit, reported Deccan Herald.

2022: A Look back at hate crimes against Dalits and Adivasis

Throughout the year we documented incidents of hate crimes based on caste as well as attacks on tribals. Such incidents were reported from various parts of the country and a common thread between these incidents is that caste based atrocities are often triggered by miniscule and trivial matters such as sporting a moustache, drawing water from a well, eating food at a ceremony and so on.

Merrimack Valley Havurah - Antisemitism on college campuses

Antisemitism on college campuses: Jewish students are openly being told that Jews are the only people with no right to safely live in their indigenous homeland. And then Jewish students are kicked out of college groups. Synagogue and Jewish community leaders need to learn about this and prepare our children
