January 6, 2017, Rothak, Haryana, Dalit Woman, Brahmin Man relationship.
Pradeep (28), a Brahmin, and Seema (20), a Dalit, were both residents of Hari Singh Colony in Rohtak. Here the boy is upper caste. The woman killed by family. Police was informed by Pradeep. Inspector Navin Jakhar, Station House Officer of Shivaji Colony PS said, “The girl’s family got to know about her marriage around 3 pm. In the evening, they killed her. Today morning, they took the girl to the cremation ground and hurriedly tried to cremate her. We received information and reached the cremation ground. We poured water on the pyre and took out the body. It was 65-70 per cent burnt.”
It is a case of inter-caste but not exactly Brahminical patriarchy in the ordinary sense since the man was from upper caste and woman Dalit.
