UP.India‘Called Me Low Caste, Beat Me, Threw Me Out’: Dalit Woman Names Nine In-Laws in Noida FIR
A Dalit woman in Noida has accused her in-laws of constant harassment after she married a man from an upper-caste family. The woman said her brother-in-law misbehaved with her and casteist slurs were repeatedly used against her. She also alleged that her in-laws beat her and eventually forced her out of the house. She has filed a police complaint against nine members of the family at Sector-20 police station.
Sector-20 SHO D.P. Shukla said the woman reported that she married Bharat Sharma, son of Ravindra Sharma of Nithari village, on 5 February 2018 under Hindu rituals. According to her, her family spent around ₹25 lakh on the wedding, including jewellery and other items. She said it was an inter-caste love marriage, and from the very beginning her in-laws started demanding ₹50 lakh as dowry. The woman claimed she was repeatedly taunted for belonging to a “lower caste”.
She said her in-laws openly insulted her by calling her caste names and would often tell her husband that he had brought home a girl from a “low caste”. She also alleged that one of her brothers-in-law refused to eat food cooked by her. According to the complaint, her husband began drinking heavily because he was disturbed by the constant harassment she faced. He later left her at her parental home, telling her to stay there until his family changed their behaviour.
The woman said she gave birth to a child, but even then the harassment from her in-laws did not stop. She alleged that her elder brother-in-law molested her and she had earlier gone to the police with this complaint. When the matter reached the police station, she claims the accused family filed false allegations against her and her husband.
According to the SHO, the woman has now filed an FIR against her father-in-law Ravindra Sharma, mother-in-law Rajrani Sharma, brothers-in-law Chandrakant Sharma and Sunil Sharma, a relative from her aunt-in-law’s side, her younger sister-in-law Renu, her younger brother-in-law Ram Sewak Sharma, her sister-in-law Sarika Sharma and her brother-in-law Gajendra Sharma. The charges include molestation, dowry harassment, assault, domestic violence and offences under the SC/ST Act. Police are investigating the case.

Constitution Month Special | A unique ‘Ambedkar Temple’ in Munger, Bihar, with a 12-foot-tall statue: A retired captain donated land to build it, where the Constitution is the supreme deity!
This year, on Baba Saheb's birth anniversary, April 14th, a 12-foot-tall 'Statue of Equality', imported from Delhi, was dedicated to society.
Munger – 185 kilometers from Bihar’s capital, Patna, on the National Highway in Ghorghat, a small village in Munger district, stands a structure completely different from traditional temples. There’s no Hindu deity, no mosque dome, no golden gate of a gurudwara, but only a 12-foot-tall statue of Dr. B.R. Ambedkar, which glows with the first rays of the sun and reminds people, “Educate, Agitate, Organize.”
This is not a ‘temple’, but a living symbol of equality, social justice, and the Constitution. Its creator, 80-year-old retired Army Captain Yogal Kishore Paswan, says, “My religion is the Constitution. Babasaheb is like a god to us Dalits.”
Tamal Saha of News The Truth (NTT) was on a 185-kilometer journey towards Patna. On the national highway near Munger, he suddenly saw a gigantic figure from a distance. Saha explains in his video that the statue was so impressive that he had to stop the car. Locals told him that it was a temple to Babasaheb, built by retired army officer Captain Yogal Kishore Paswan.
12-foot Ambedkar pillar erected in memory of his wife
80-year-old retired Army officer Captain Paswan said that he was a captain in the AUC (Armed Units Corps) and had traveled throughout India, from Ladakh to every corner. The Captain said that he had built this ‘Statue of Equality’, which is 12 feet tall. A statue this tall probably exists only in Patna, Bihar. Each one is 8-10 feet tall. Captain Paswan explained that in this building, children will study downstairs, and there will be office space upstairs. The lower portion will be an education center, where children will study without any discrimination. The upper portion will be for visitors and guests. At the top, there will be a statue of Babasaheb.
When asked why people are building temples, why did you build this one, Captain Paswan replied: “It’s my hobby. I’m a soldier, not a leader who rises with the thought of earning money. I gave all my land in Babasaheb’s name. I have to die, so what will you take away?” Captain Paswan explained that just as the Emperor built the Taj Mahal, this one is also a Taj Mahal for me, which I built in memory of my wife, Maya Devi. The statue of Babasaheb was brought from Delhi.
Respect for the Constitution: Babasaheb’s Contribution
Captain says emotionally: “Ambedkar Saheb gave the country the Constitution. My granddaughter is a lawyer, and my younger daughter is a lawyer in the Patna High Court. They are all carrying the Constitution with them.” A soldier has no income, but he felt like doing this. He gave away 15-20 feet of land without even asking his son or daughter.”
He insists, “Why not worship the Constitution? It’s a deity, equal to God. Baba Saheb is revered all over the world, and he gave us this Constitution, which runs the country. Whether the government is in Delhi or Bihar, it will have to abide by the Constitution, otherwise the people will overthrow them.”
In response to a question about why Dalits were once not allowed to enter temples in Bihar, Captain says that here, visitors to the Ambedkar Temple “won’t be asked about their caste. Everyone from a beggar to a rich person can come and talk. Anyone can go inside.”
On being asked about religion, Captain says, “I am a Hindu, but I consider Baba Saheb as God because there may be other gods, but he was a living person. What he gave to the country, no leader could give. The Constitution belongs to everyone—Hindus, Muslims, Christians, every caste.” Captain Paswan’s family consists of four daughters and a son who is an assistant manager at the LIC. He says, “I could have sold the land, but I donated it. I am indebted to Babasaheb from my previous life. I must have been stingy, so I gave away my share now.” Currently, construction work is underway, with the plastering of the ground floor remaining, which will be used for the children’s education once it is complete.

Dalit women’s achievements: Tina Dabi wins Barmer a 2 crore water award, Dipna Netrapal makes history at the CAG!
These achievements are not only personal triumphs but also send a strong message against caste- and gender-based discrimination. While one officer is greening the environment, another is strengthening accounting and financial transparency.
New Delhi – The stellar performance of Dalit women officers in India’s administrative system is once again in the headlines. Rajasthan’s IAS officer Tina Dabi has made history by securing her district, Barmer, the Jal Sanchay Jan Bhagidari Puraskar (JSJB) for environmental protection, while Bengaluru’s senior IA&AS officer Dipna Netrapal has received the National CAG Award for innovation in GST audit and training reform. Dipna is the first Dalit woman officer to receive these awards. These achievements are not only personal triumphs but also send a strong message against caste- and gender-based discrimination. While one officer is greening the environment, another is strengthening accounting and financial transparency.
The arid Barmer district of Rajasthan has won the first Jal Sanchay Jan Bhagidari Puraskar for its outstanding public participation in rainwater harvesting. The district will receive a prize of ₹2 crore for this achievement. District Collector Tina Dabi stated that President Draupadi Murmu will present the award at the sixth National Water Awards ceremony to be held at Vigyan Bhawan in New Delhi on November 18th. Tina Dabi has previously received numerous awards for her meritorious work.
IAS Tina Dabi created history in 2015 by securing the first rank in the UPSC Civil Services Examination. At the age of 22, she became the first Dalit woman to achieve this feat in her first attempt. Tina has extensively promoted the construction of traditional ‘tanks’ (underground water tanks) in Barmer. Under the Union Ministry of Jal Shakti’s ‘Catch the Rain’ initiative, the state was divided into five zones and given the target of installing at least 10,000 artificial recharge and water storage structures. Barmer surpassed this target and topped the Northern region, reviving local water sources through thousands of tanks. This initiative by DABI is not only addressing the water crisis but also empowering rural communities, proving to be a milestone in quenching the thirst of the desert region.
Meanwhile, Deepna Netrapal, Principal Director of the Regional Training Centre (RTC) and Capacity Building and Knowledge Centre (RCB&KC) in Bengaluru, has been awarded the National CAG Award. She received this award for two key initiatives: innovation and excellence in public accounting and auditing in GST audits, and the transformation of the training setup in Bengaluru.
The Comptroller and Auditor General of India launched the scheme of “CAG’s Awards for Innovation and Excellence in Public Audit and Accounting” in 2021 to recognize and reward exceptional and innovative work done by officers and employees of the Indian Accounts Department in the areas of public audit, accounting, entitlements, and support functions. While the CAG Awards Scheme 2021 recognizes exceptional team excellence, which fosters a meritocratic environment, fostering overall qualitative improvement is even more important from an organizational perspective.
To this end, in addition to the existing scheme that rewards team efforts toward excellence and exceptional work, a new award category has been instituted in 2022: the award for the “Most Improved Office.” This award category seeks to recognize offices working in the areas of accounting, audit, and training that have demonstrated the greatest improvement in performance during the prescribed evaluation period.

Dalit professor dismissed by Tamil Nadu University@├а port for studying in reverse order after MA: Who is Professor Senarayaperumal, for whom voices of support are rising from India and the US?
The first scholar from the Arunthathiyar community to receive a doctorate, the High Court ordered his reinstatement, but the university chose to appeal.
Chennai – The wounds of hidden casteism in Indian higher education institutions have once again been exposed. The dismissal of Assistant Professor P. Senarayaperumal from Tamil Nadu’s Manonmaniam Sundaranar University (MSU) on the grounds of “academic irregularities” is resonating internationally. This is not limited to India; a petition initiated by the Anti-Caste Collective at Rutgers University in the US has set an example of global solidarity.
Thousands of scholars, students, and activists have signed the petition, demand Professor Senarayaperumal’s immediate reinstatement and strict action against institutionalized casteism. The documentary “Punishing the Professor,” produced by the People’s Archive of Rural India (PARI), has further highlighted this issue, telling the poignant story of the struggle of Dalit scholars.
This case is not only the struggle of one individual, but also a reflection of the caste discrimination that persists in the name of merit in Indian public universities. Professor Senrayaperumal belongs to the Arunthathiyar community, one of the most marginalized Dalit communities in Tamil Nadu, who sought to transform their lives through education and art. He is a master of the folk art form called “Raja-Rani Attam.”
Professor Senrayaperumal had been working as an assistant professor at Manonmaniam Sundaranar University since 2016 but was dismissed in March 2024. The Madras High Court ordered his reinstatement in June 2024, but the university filed an appeal, thus committing a miscarriage of justice. The case is still pending, and due to financial constraints, the professor has now returned to the stage of the folk drama “Raja-Rani Attam.”
How did a Dalit artist become a professor?
- Senrayaperumal was born in Soolapuram village near Madurai, Tamil Nadu. The harsh caste slavery and poverty of the Arunthathiyar community forced him to drop out of school at the age of 13. Joining the family folk theater troupe, he became a part of the traditional folk drama-dance called “Raja-Rani Attam.”
This art form is performed at all the to weddings, festivals, and funerals in rural Tamil Nadu, but artists have historically been victims of caste-based exploitation. Arunthathiyar artists were viewed as sexual objects by audiences from dominant castes, and Senrayaperumal played the role of “Rani” (woman) for 18 years, challenging gender binary and embracing the drag tradition.
Balancing performing at night and studying during the day, Senrayaperumal resumed his education through self-study. He completed 8th grade, then an MA and MPhil from Madurai Kamaraj University. Then, in an unusual sequence, he earned a BA, 10th, 12th through the open university system, and finally a PhD in Art History in 2013. In 2016, he was appointed Assistant Professor in the History Department of Manonmaniam Sundaranar University (MSU) under the SC quota. The current Vice Chancellor was also on the selection committee, and all degrees were verified. Over eight years, he mentored 31 research scholars and brought the art of his community to life in the classroom.
An excuse for ‘irregularity’ or the cruel face of casteism?
The university cited Senrayaperumal’s studies in ‘reverse order’ as the basis for the ‘irregularity’. In March 2024, just before his promotion, he was served a dismissal letter without a hearing. The university’s reasoning was the ‘reverse order’ of education. But this raises questions about the open learning system that the state government itself has created for marginalized students.
Hearing the case, the Madurai Bench of the Madras High Court completely rejected the university’s argument. In June 2024, the court ordered his immediate reinstatement, payment of his salary arrears, and all benefits. The court recognized his academic qualifications and educational path as valid. However, the university, which claims to uphold the principles of social justice, refused to obey the High Court’s order and appealed to the Division Bench. This raises a serious question: Are the university administration and the Higher Education Department deliberately trying to exhaust a Dalit scholar by engaging him in a legal battle?
Professor Senarayaperumal, now unemployed, is teaching the power of education by helping neighborhood children with their homework. He wants to present his case in court by singing so that the judges can understand Dalit history through folk art. Retired Chief Justice S.M. Muralidhar has promised to represent him pro bono.
Raja-Rani Attam: The Living Art of Resistance
This struggle is not just about employment, but also about cultural identity. Raja-Rani Attam is a folk tradition from South India that combines dance, drama, mythology, and oral history. It shares similarities with other caste arts such as Oggu Katha, Bahurupiya, and Tamasha. Despite historical exploitation, Professor Senarayaperumal created it as a living record of Dalit knowledge. As the only living scholar of this art form in the world, his dismissal is the destruction of neglected knowledge.
The documentary “Punishing the Professor,” produced by the People’s Archive of Rural India (PARI), highlighted this issue, telling the poignant story of the struggle of Dalit scholars. PARI’s 28-minute documentary sparked public outrage. The documentary tells the professor’s story through folk art, exposing institutionalized casteism. Following its release, newspapers like “The Hindu” and “The News Minute” covered the issue.
Why is the student community united?
Students and young teachers from universities across the country are actively participating in the streets and on social media in support of Professor Senarayaperumal. They believe this issue is not just about one person’s job, but a collective fight against the deeply ingrained casteism in the Indian higher education system. Cases like Rohith Vemula’s and Payal Tadvi’s bear witness to the systematic discrimination faced by Dalit and Adivasi students and teachers in educational institutions. Students are demanding that universities stop concealing casteism under the guise of “merit” and make education inclusive for students from all backgrounds. The Anti-Caste Collective at Rutgers University in the US is garnering support for Professor Senarayaperumal from around the world through an online petition, demanding:
- Immediate reinstatement: Professor Senarayaperumal should be immediately reinstated, and his back pay and all benefits should be restored, in compliance with the Madras High Court order.
- Withdrawal of the legal appeal: The university should withdraw its appeal and stop all punitive actions.
- Institutional support: The professor should be provided full institutional support (office, library facilities) for his research and teaching.
- Accountability and apology: The university administration should publicly apologize for caste discrimination.
- Heritage status for Raja-Rani Attam: The Tamil Nadu government should recognize Raja-Rani Attam as a heritage art form and provide protection to its performers.

3-Time MLA And Dalit Face Vinay Kumar Is New Himachal Congress Chief
Vinay Kumar has been elected MLA from the Renuka constituency for the third consecutive time.
Shimla: Ending the uncertainty that prevailed since the previous committee was dissolved on November 6 last year, Congress on Saturday appointed three-time MLA and senior party leader Vinay Kumar as the new President of its Himachal Pradesh unit.
A statement in this regard was issued by AICC General Secretary (Organisation) K.C. Venugopal. The statement issued on Saturday mentioned that the party President, Mallikarjun Kharge, has appointed Vinay Kumar as the “President of the Himachal Pradesh Congress Committee with immediate effect”.
A prominent Dalit face of the party, Kumar was the Deputy Speaker of the Assembly and tendered his resignation from the post, which was accepted by Speaker Kuldeep Pathania. The resignation was seen as a step towards his formal announcement as the state Congress party president.
It is noteworthy that Chief Minister Sukhwinder Singh Sukhu had already advocated for a Dalit-affiliated party president. Party National President Mallikarjun Kharge also agreed with Vinay Kumar’s name. Vinay Kumar has been elected MLA from the Renuka constituency for the third consecutive time. Vinay Kumar was elected Deputy Speaker of the Assembly after the 2022 elections. With his position now becoming vacant, the names of Bhoranj MLA Suresh Kumar, Palampur MLA Ashish Butail, and Kasauli MLA KD Sultanpuri are being considered for the post.
In an effort to rejuvenate the Congress organisation in Himachal Pradesh and strengthen its grassroots presence, the party dissolved its state, district, and block executive committees on November 6 of last year. The party’s top leadership initiated this organisational restructuring to address upcoming political challenges and to create a new structure that includes dedicated and influential party workers.
This move was based on a proposal by then State President Pratibha Singh, which received approval from Kharge. Following this, KC Venugopal issued a letter on November 6, 2024, officially dissolving all executive committees except for the Congress President. Pratibha was asked to continue till further orders.

Maharastra.StateRelief for SC-ST families: Fadnavis cabinet clears landmark decision; heirs of those killed in atrocities to get govt jobs in 90 days
In a bold move aimed at offering relief to marginalised communities, the Maharashtra government has announced that heirs of Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe victims who die in cases registered under the Atrocity Act will be entitled to government or semi-government jobs within 90 days of the FIR or chargesheet being filed.
The decision comes at a time when discontent has been brewing within SC communities over internal classification issues. For years, activists had demanded such a measure, staging repeated protests and campaigns. Now, Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis’s government has delivered, bringing significant relief to families who have long sought justice beyond the courtroom.
Jobs within 90 days of FIR or chargesheet
The resolution specifies that employment will be granted within 90 days of either the filing of a chargesheet or, in cases where chargesheets are delayed, within 90 days of the FIR. Crucially, the appointment will remain valid regardless of the eventual court verdict.
Appointments will be made in the establishments of the social justice and tribal development departments, in Group C and Group D posts outside the purview of the Maharashtra Public Service Commission, and in clerical posts within its purview.
Eligibility and conditions
The government has laid down educational qualifications and age limits for applicants. Consent letters from other family members will be required, along with an affidavit pledging responsibility for the care of remaining dependents. Importantly, restrictions on recruitment or reservation quotas will not apply to these appointments.
- The deceased’s spouse.
- Married or unmarried son or daughter, including legally adopted children.
- Daughter-in-law, if the deceased’s son is not alive or not eligible.
- Divorced, widowed or abandoned daughter or sister.
- Brother or sister, if the deceased was unmarried.
- If the spouse is alive, they alone hold the right to nominate themselves without requiring consent from other heirs. In cases where the spouse is not alive, one eligible heir may be appointed, subject to no-objection certificates from other family members.
Impact so far
By July 2025, 133 atrocity-related deaths had been recorded. Of these, 44 families have already received jobs under the scheme, while 738 cases remain pending, arranged in a waiting list according to the date of the incident.
This landmark decision is being seen as a strong political and social message: the state will not only prosecute atrocity crimes but also ensure that families of victims are supported with livelihood security. For communities long demanding recognition and relief, the announcement marks a turning point in the fight for dignity and justice.
