Dog cast(e) away after dalit touch

BHOPAL: A dog's life couldn't get worse. A mongrel brought up in an upper caste home in Morena was kicked out after the Rajput family members discovered that their Sheru had eaten a roti from a dalit woman and was now an "untouchable". Next, Sheru was tied to a pole in the village's dalit locality. His controversial case is now pending with the district collector, the state police and the Scheduled Caste Atrocities police station in Morena district of north MP.

The black cur, of no particular pedigree, was accustomed to the creature comforts in the home of its influential Rajput owners in Manikpur village in Morena. Its master, identified by the police as Rampal Singh, is a rich farmer with local political connections.

A week ago Sunita Jatav, a dalit woman, was serving lunch to her farm labourer husband. "There was a 'roti' left over from lunch. I saw the dog roaming and fed it the last bread," Sunita said. "But when Rampal Singh saw me feeding the dog and he grew furious. He yelled: 'Cobbler woman, how dare you feed my dog with your roti?' He rebuked me publicly. I kept quiet thinking the matter would end there. But it got worse," she said.

On Monday, Rampal ex-communicated the dog. A village panchayat was called, whi-ch decided that Sheru would now have to live with Sunita and her family because it had become an untouchable. Sunita Jatav was fined Rs 15,000.

An outraged Sunita and her brother Nahar Singh Jatav rushed to Sumawali police station. They were directed to take the matter to the SC/ST Atrocities police station in Kalyan. "When we went there, the officer asked us why we fed the dog," recalls Nahar. "So we went to the DSP in the SC/ST Atrocities department and submitted a memorandum to him, as also to the district collector. But no one has registered our FIR so far.

DSP SC/ST Atrocities (Morena), Baldev Singh, recalls, "We got a complaint in which it has been alleged that a dog was declared untouchable and a dalit family fined for feeding it. We are investigating the allegation," said the officer.

This is actually quite funny, seems like something out of a comedy drama. Poor dog though.

i don't think it's funny. a poor woman must pay a huge fine for the "crime" of offering food to an animal. she showed kindness and is now punished for it. it's horrible. if people see others being punished for doing good, what incentive will they have to do good in the future?
look at it this way, a farm laborer in india makes about a hundred rupees a day. after feeding their family, how on earth can they come up with 15,000? how is that funny?

Bhain Jee, It's not the situation of the bibi that I find funny. What has happened to her is most unfortunate, because 15,000 rupees is a pretty large amount of money for a poor person in India. It is the situation of the dog being some how an "untouchable" that I find funny. If this were any other country, it would never have happened, but only in India can something so strange happen. Please accept my apologies for offending you, that was not my intention.
