BRITISH SOUTH ASIAN GROUPS PROTEST CASTE AND GENDER VIOLENCE AND DEMAND JUSTICE FOR BANT SINGH!
A savage and barbaric assault by powerful Congress Party-backed Jat landlords has left Bant Singh, Dalit leader of the Mazdoor Mukti Morcha (All-India Agrarian Labour Association) in Mansa, Punjab, with both hands and one leg amputated. His ‘crime’ was his sustained resistance to upper caste power and violence, and in particular, his struggle to bring his minor daughter’s rapists to justice. This case is currently generating massive protests in Punjab.
