Caste crimes: Justice remains a mirage for Dalits as govt caught in self-induced slumber

As if to add salt to their wounds, the Dalits were driven to the wall by authorities who would rather prefer to "resolve" the issue "amicably" rather than take action against the perpetrators.

Faeces mixed in Dalits' drinking water in Vengavayal: Residents allege govt inaction

A water tank was constructed in Vengavayal for storage purposes eight years ago in 2014. However, it was only after the water scarcity in the summer of 2022 that Dalits were permitted by the dominant castes to take water from the new tank.

Dalit activists demand Tamil Nadu government to declare Vengaivayal as ‘untouchability-prone’ hamlet

On the night of December 24, a 6-year-old girl child, daughter of Kanagaraj, an artist, who plays in a local drama troupe, complained of vomiting and uneasiness. Immediately, the family members rushed to a PHC in Cauvery Nagar, but the staff recommended admission in the Pudukottai Government Medical College and Hospital.

After carrying out a series of tests, the doctors declared that the child had taken “contaminated” water. The following day, three more children from the Dalit colony suffered similar trauma after which the villagers woke up and checked the overhead tank. To their shock, they found faecal matter floating inside the water tank.
