Read our privacy policy Two Dalit teenage girls were found dead on their family’s farm on Wednesday evening, while one of their sisters is in a critical condition in Unnao district of Uttar Pradesh, a state in northern India. Opposition politicians and activists have demanded that she be airlifted to national capital, Delhi, for treatment at the All Indian Institute of Medical Sciences, considered one of India’s top government hospital. Her death also re-focussed the spotlight on atrocities committed against the Dalit community, considered one of the lowest in India’s centuries-old caste system, and revived a debate about safety of women in a country where a rape happens every 15 minutes, according to government figures. Rahul Gandhi, leader of the opposition Indian National Congress party, criticised authorities in the BJP-led Uttar Pradesh state which he said is not only crushing Dalits but women and human rights as well.
