"It does not stop, does it?": Prakash Ambedkar raises voice against Dalit widow assault in Satara
No matter how much society pretends to be progressive, the incidents of caste and women atrocities do not stop. After the brutal beating of Dalit youths in Haregaon, Ahmednagar, a distressing event unfolded: a Dalit widow was assaulted in Satara's Man. In light of this, Prakash Ambedkar, the chief of Vanchit Bahujan Aghadi, directly warned the government.
Prakash Ambedkar wrote on X formerly known as Twitter, “A helpless Dalit widow was brutally beaten by a group of men in Satara, Maharashtra. Her crime? She demanded her own money back which she paid for undelivered goods — fodder.”
“The video of the physical abuse is so disturbing that I am struggling to find words in my vocabulary to illustrate this caste atrocity in words. Absolutely cruel and inhuman,” he further added.
It does not stop, does it?
