Dalits Allege Caste-Based Abuse and Forced Seating at Rajasthan School Event
On August 15, during an Independence Day event at a government school in Bhakliya village, Rajasthan, two Dalit men alleged they were forced to vacate chairs and sit on the ground amid caste-based abuse. The accused reportedly intimidated them and threatened to shut down a local Anganwadi where Dalit women worked. The incident, witnessed by schoolchildren, teachers, and villagers, led to an FIR against five individuals. The complainants have audio and video evidence, which they are willing to share with authorities.
