The 19-year-old’s mother says that none of their neighbours, most of them Thakurs and Brahmins, had paid a visit to offer condolences. “We collect fodder from their farms. We thought they would come at least once."

Every time he goes to the local store, the 50-year-old says, the shopkeeper tells him to stand at a distance and chucks what he has purchased. Upper castes abusing them is so common that they no longer feel the sting, he adds.

The silence of the Dalits has another reason. In the village in Hathras district, where a 19-year-old Dalit woman was battered and allegedly gangraped by four upper caste men, leading to her death, Valmiki families number just about 15. Out of the 600-odd families, nearly half are Thakur, and Brahmins another 100-odd. The cremation grounds for them are separate, they are not allowed into the local temple, and the officials starting from the local school are upper castes, the Dalits say.

And, while the teenager’s brutal assault has become national news, the families, all of whom The Indian Express spoke to, don’t expect things to change. Instead, they fear a backlash once the media attention has moved away. Only a few own land, and most of them work as labourers in the farms of upper castes.
