SUNPED
(Ballabhgarh): The deaths of two children and the burn injuries suffered by
their mother and father when their house was set on fire in Sunped village
in Ballabhgarh has brought the simmering tension between Dalits and upper
castes in Haryana to the forefront once again. In Mirchpur in 2011 and in
Bhadana in 2012, Dalit families had been forced to flee their homes after being
targeted by musclemen belonging to upper-caste communities.
On Tuesday, as news about the death of three-year-old Vaibhav and eight-month-old Divya, children of Jitendra Kumar and his wife Rekha, went around, the unrest among the reserved community was palpable. Hundreds of Dalit men and women from neighbouring villages thronged Sunped throughout the day.
"We have been suffering at the hands of the upper caste for years. They abuse us and harass our daughters. Today, they killed innocent infants. We cannot tolerate this any longer," said Ram Prakash, a Dalit boy from Sahupur village who had reached Sunped to show his solidarity with Kumar's family.

Sunped
village has around 500 houses, of which around 50 belong to Dalit households.
The Thakurs, who are alleged to have set Kumar's house on fire over an old
feud, are the dominant community. Recalling the lingering tension, Lal Chand,
Kumar's neighbour, said, "On October 5 last year, a fight ensued
when a group of Thakurs ordered Dalit boys, including Kumar's younger brother,
to pick up a mobile phone from a drain. In the altercation, three Thakur men
were killed." Caste relations have remained tense since then.
With this history, the police had to quickly post around 500 policemen in the village on Tuesday even as the atmosphere became fraught with the visit of political leaders, including former Haryana CM Bhupinder Singh Hooda, and Dalit leaders like BJP MP from North-West Delhi Udit Raj and Rajya Sabha member Ramdas Athawale, who offered their support to victim's family.
Kumar, who suffered burn injuries on his hand while trying to save his wife and children, was inconsolable. His 80-year-old mother was in shock and repeatedly murmured, "Mujhe mere bacchhon ke paas bhej do. Mujhe bhi maar do."
Santosh, a family member, said that in addition to the year-old acrimony over the mobile phone, what had also got the Thakurs' goat was the election of Kumar's relative as sarpanch of the village a few years ago. "Since it was a reserved seat, he won. But the upper caste community never forgot the humiliation," Santosh said.
