Dalit Boys Stripped

A 12-year-old Dalit boy was allegedly stripped naked, forced to dance and filmed after he was caught stealing wire from an event here, police said on Saturday.

Three Dalit boys were stripped, beaten and paraded nude in a village in Maharashtra for allegedly swimming in a village well in yet another incident that underscored the ugly oppression that members of the community face in India's hinterlands.

For nearly 30 minutes, the three young boys can be seen shaking with fear as a mob slaps them over and over. Nobody intervenes.
