Tamil Nadu Caste Crimes

Tamil Nadu Police has been put on high alert in the southern region of the state following the assault on a 17-year-old Dalit teenager in Melapattam village in Tirunelveli district.

It's a connection that no one would want. But when two women met each other in a town in Telangana on Friday, the familiarity of what they have been through appeared to lend a degree of comfort: that even though their worlds had been torn apart equally due to ugly face caste-hatred, they are not alone.

Yuvaraj, the prime accused in the suspicious death of a Dalit man Gokulraj has been remanded to a five-day police custody by a court in the Namakkal district of Tami Nadu.
