Hathras, a new phase in the caste atrocity narrative

The Hindu  

The gang rape that took place recently in Bul Garhi, a tiny village near Hathras in Uttar Pradesh, marks a new phase in the eventful history of rape-as-caste-atrocity in the 21st century. Criminalising the ‘legitimate’ A provisional answer to this dilemma emerges through the notion of the caste atrocity, and a new law — the Scheduled Castes and the Scheduled Tribes Act, 1989. Hathras gang rape | A long caste feud, a horrific crime, and a sudden cremation The difficult process of redefining traditional practices as modern crimes is where we must begin in order to understand the place of rape within the larger spectrum of the caste atrocity. Patterns of denial Contemporary thinking on caste-rape was jump-started by the infamous 1995 judgment of the Rajasthan High Court in the Bhanwari Devi gang rape case, which held that upper caste men could never rape a lower caste woman because they would not touch her. Hathras gang rape | Upper caste group holds meet in support of accused The ‘Nirbhaya’ impact The next phase in the evolution of caste denial arrives with Delhi’s ‘Nirbhaya’ fatal gang rape in December 2012.
