Khap fear has rattled Dalits fleeing Haryana villages

The fear of khap looms large over Haryana with 40 members of the Dalit (Valmiki) community at Mirchpur village in Hisar district — where two people were burnt alive by Jats last week — fleeing their homes, rattled by khap support of Jat violence against them.

Their fears were compounded on Sunday when, in a khap meeting in Jind, 300 khap representatives called for intensifying the agitation against the Hindu Marriage Act that prevents marriages between same gotras and villages.

Bhiwani, too, has seen exodus of 150 Dalit families who have migrated from Ladhanpur village fearing backlash from Rajputs in the wake of rivalry between the two groups over entry into a village. The incident had led to the murder of an upper caste youth.

Cops say the Rajput youth was beaten to death by Dalits after an altercation turned violent in the village on March 19. Cases have been registered against 20 Dalit youth. Dalits are fleeing the village, saying that cops were acting on the instructions of the upper caste, with the support of the khaps.

Last week, members of the upper caste attacked Dalit families in Mirchpur after an altercation over the barking of a dog.

On Sunday the khaps, in no mood to give up their demand of amendment in the Hindu Marriage Act, resolved to take a final decision on May 2 at a Mahapanchayat at Pai-Karora village, where the slain couple Manoj and Babli lived.

Five people were awarded life sentence by a Haryana court, which has made the khaps see red.
