The Social Stigma of Jogini - the Atrocities on Dalit Community
The latest incident of forcing a minor girl of age Eight to Social prostitution by her own parents at the will of other Caste-Hindus is the finest example of social evil. In the name of GOD (read Hindus) hapless children from this community becomes prostitutes in this progressive state of Andra Pradesh. They even call it is Community Sex! or Community Service! These poor girls of Dalit community forced to sell their beautiful bodies for Caste-Hindus in the villages at any time and at any place. The backbone for this social crimes is due to the illiteracy among the scheduled castes and the fear gripping them due to dictat of other caste Hindus and the bloody customs followed for long. Unfortunately Andra Predesh never had one Periyar..E.V.Ramasamy of Tamil Nadu. What was the use of having a Dalit as President of India and Mr. Sushil Kumar Shinde as Gowerner in Andra Pradesh.
The expose of NDTV on Thursday, February 16, 2006 about this inhuman practice in the district of Ranga Reddy is very much titled "New beginning for AP 'child bride' ". Is forcing a child for prostitution is accounted to bride? Shame on NDTV...Over the years NDTV and its Pranoy Roy accomplished many things but the correspondent Uma Sudhir failed to use appropraite term for this offence and thereby creating communal bias. Her act of using "Child Bride" is highly condemnable. It shows her evil mindset.
The perpetrators who unleash social crimes in the name of Religion has to be awarded highest punishment of the land then only these kind of inhuman acts would vanish from this holy land of butchered criminals.
