He Was Killed Because Of His Name 15/12/2011

A boy originated from Indian Gypsies also known as Dalits locally was killed because he had the same name with an upper caste Hindu. The incident happened in Radhaupur village proves the atrociousness of the caste system which divides indian population to 4 seperated caste and isolates Indian Gypsies from the rest of society declaring them as untouchables.

An upper caste member J. C and a Dalit B. R. S have children with same names. J. C who can't accept chilren of an Indian Gypsy have same names with his children threatened B. R. S for many times to change his children's names. It's understood that he was serious when the death body of B. R. S' child named Neeraj found in November 23th. The incident laid bare barbarity of the caste system targeting Gypsies in India.

The Universal Caste System which divides humanity as Gypsies and non-Gypsies all over the world especially in underdeveloped countries is being lived openly and in the hardest way in India. Although India's constitution which was prepared with contributions of Dr. Ambedkar who was also a Dalit himself forbidden the caste discrimination, the incident clearly shows us that it's still alive among the society.
