Lack of political will in TN to prevent caste crimes
Even as the uproar on the ‘custodial death’ of Ajithkumar and the suicide of Rithanya due to dowry harassment continues, the ‘honour killing’ of Dalit youth Kavin Selvaganesh has raised troubling questions about Tamil Nadu’s socio-political climate. This murder shatters the belief that education can keep caste discrimination at bay. While activists and politicians demand a special law for ‘honour killings’, it is time to examine what has been done, and what governments have failed to do.
