Caste bullying shocked India! The 16-year-old "Da Park Jung Su" was abused by many people and was also filmed and uploaded to the Internet.
[Global Times reporter Liu Haoran] Recently, Indian caste bullying broke out again: a 16-year-old "Da Park Jung Su" (the lowest level, the so-called "untouchable") boy was beaten and abused by many men, and even forced to lick his feet for one person. What is even more contemptible is that the bully also made a video of the incident and uploaded it to the Internet, which shocked the whole country. India’s caste system has long been criticized at home and abroad, but the vicious bullying based on caste is still popular in Indian society.
According to the Hindustan Times reported on the 20th, this incident of caste bullying took place on the 10th of this month in the town of Leibereli, Uttar Pradesh, India. The victim was a 10th-grade middle school student. According to the video released by the Indian media, the bully surrounded the victim and beat and mocked him condescendingly. One of them bullied him and asked him to spell "Khrushchev" (one of India’s high castes), while the other asked him "Dare to make such a mistake again?" Another video shows that a man asked the victim to admit that he "sold marijuana", and the victim was bullied and had to be forced to admit it. What is particularly outrageous is that one of the bullies openly asked the boy to lean down and lick his feet.
After the incident, the victim’s mother took the boy to the local police station to report the case. The local police immediately arrested eight suspects, including several so-called "high caste" people. India’s New Delhi Television (NDTV) said that the victim had lost his father since childhood and lived with his mother. It is widely rumored on the Internet that his mother used to work as a domestic helper in the homes of several suspects, but she was owed salary. The boy originally went to "ask for salary" for her mother, but she was insulted. But according to the local police, this bullying incident originated from a "campus conflict".
This incident shocked public opinion in India, and NDTV used the term "caste curse" in a broadcast, calling it a "shocking human rights violation". Yadav, chairman of the Indian Socialist Party, personally visited the victims and their families and called for "respect for individuals of every caste class". Yadav said that in a democratic system, no caste class can hold itself high above others. Many netizens sarcastically said: "It is hard to imagine that India still has democracy and constitution." "India’s human rights and equality are a joke."
Under the Indian caste system, Da Park Jung Su people, as "untouchables", are oppressed by high caste groups all the year round, and human tragedies emerge one after another. According to a statistic released by the National Bureau of Criminal Records of India, the atrocities suffered by the Da Park Jung Su class in India in 2016 reached more than 40,000, and it showed an upward trend year after year. Another official data shows that at least four Indian women in Park Jung Su are raped every day — — This is still based on cases accepted by local police, and the actual number may be more. In January this year, a Da Park Jung Su man in Rajasthan was forced to drink urine after being beaten; This week, a man in Park Jung Su, Orissa, was humiliated by the "Presbyterian Church" in the village because he refused to invest repeatedly to renovate the temple in the village — — Wipe the spit off the ground with your nose.
