The chrage-sheet on the caste-murder of a Budhhist named , Baban Misal has been filed by the local police in the session court of Ahmadnagar on 1st October 08.
Atrocitynews has already followed the case, readers may know that the victim Baban Sitaram Missal was hacked to death on 6th June 08 by caste Hindu hooligans. Baban who comes from Matang Caste ,a Schedule Caste is now dead leaving behind the family and community helpless at the hands of Police administartion.
Baban held position of President Panchayat Samiti at Jamkhed. He was also an elected to District Director’s Committee on Marketing Agricultural Produce. He was actively involved in Campaign for Human Rights(CHR), a citizens’ forum working especially for the Dalit human Rights. He had converted to Buddhism last year at Diksha Bhoomi, Nagpur. He had arranged a Dhamma Conference last year in Jamkhed & was present with his family in the Dhamma Conference of Ahmadangar. He rose to material prosperity due to his hard work within Fishermen society. He agitated for the rights of the farmers not only from his community but also from other communities. He had lead a life of leadership for the suffering (Dalit) masses. In 1991, the houses in Matang Caste ghettos were burnt by upper caste hooligans. That time the perpetrators of that crime were sentenced rigorous imprisonment of 16 months. Soon were they released.

The rising leadership in Baban Misal eventually became unbearable for many in the area.
On the fateful day of 6th of June 08, when he was on way back to Jamkhed from Sonegaon with his friend Shayam Sathe (on pillion) after requesting the engineer of the dam to release water for the farmers’s land downhill, the car numbered MH-12 YA- 7929 dashed his motorbike from behind. A scuffle ensued between them. WIth axe , daggers & sickles they assaulted both, in a brutal attack the hooligans entirely defaced Baban by crushing the face due. Baban died on the spot.

Much Awaited Reply !
Following is a sufficiently absorbant reply from Jerry to Armugam…Thanks Jerry
Dear Armugam:
Acknowledging the comments of Armugam, following is submitted for consideration of readers in view of what is written and projected by Media who is using this verdict to increase the hate by publishing the celebrations photos and satisfaction comments of Dalit leaders.
Armugam put many questions in his comments. Reply as follows:
Q1. Dr. Ambedkar completely dismissed the idea that the Dalits and OBCs are
a disticnt race as compared to Dwijas.
Rep: In his book “Falsehood of aboriginals” Mulnivasiwad ka zuth. Habir Angar E writes the above taking the support of Babasahebs book “Who were Shudras” wherein Babasaheb writes the following:
“The conclusions that follows from the examination of the Western theory may now be summarised. They are:
(1) The Vedas do not know any such race as the Aryan race.
(2) There is no evidence in the Vedas of any invasion of India by the Aryan race and its having conquered the Dasas and Dasyus supposed to be natives of India.
(3) There is no evidence to show that the distinction between Aryans, Dasas and Dasyus was a racial distinction.
(4) The Vedas do not support the contention that the Aryas were different in colour from the Dasas and Dasyus.”
This has been taken and used by many writers to affirm Armugam statement.
On the other hand, in this book Babasaheb proved all the references used by English Authors for proving that Aryans are not Indians. Baba dedicated this book to Mahatma Jyotirao Phule who was the first Indian to research, write and publish that Aryans invaded India and they are not Indians do not stand logic. In his book, Baba found flaws with all the Western Historians evidences which they used to prove that there was invasion, but he did not attack Jyotirao Phule’s work. Rather, he dedicated this book to Jyotirao Phule. Why? Here are some explanations:
A) Firstly it is to be understood that Babasaheb’s subject was “Who were Shudras” and not “Who were Aryans”. In this book Babasaheb ends para III of chapter XI of this book with
“All this leaves no doubt that there was no reconciliation between the Brahmins and the Shudras.”
And begins para IV of chapter XI with
“That the Shudras of the Indo-Aryan and the Shudras of the Hindu Society are different and distinct is a fact which was present at one time to the minds of the Dharma Sutrakaras is quite clear. This is evident from the distinction they made between Sacchudra and Asac-ckudra and between Aniravasita Shudras and Niravasita Shudras. Sachudra means a cultured Shudra and asac-chudra means an uncultured Shudra. Nirvasita Shudra means a Shudra living in the village community. Anirvasita Shudra means a Shudra living outside the village community.”
B) He proves that Aryans Arya Shudras who were distinct from Anarya Shudras. Arya Shudras were in enmity with Anarya Shudras. He points that the laws imposed by Aryans on Arya Shudras was also imposed on Anarya Shudras Again, Babasaheb has proved at page 101 of this book that there were two types of Aryans Alpine & Mediterranean and there is no evidence to prove which of them came first in India.. The book ends with some riddles. So he is sure of Aryans entry in India. Later, he agreed with Dr. Guha in Chapter 5 Section IX and concluded that Mediterranean came first.
C) The last para of the book is reproduced below where he referes to Aryan Shudra:
“With regard to my thesis it will be seen that it can explain everyone of these riddles. Postulates (1) to (4) explain how the Shudras could be kings and ministers and why the rishis should praise them and desire to be in their good books. Postulates (5) and (6) explain why there was a controversy over the Upanayana of the Shudra, also why the law not only denied the right to the Shudra but imposed penalties upon a Brahmin, helping to make it effective. Indeed there is no riddle which the thesis does not solve. The thesis, if I may say so, is a close and a perfect fit. Few theses can therefore have a better title deed than this.”
Shudra refered above are Arya Shudra and not Anarya Shudra
D) He left scope for further investigation to be continued later, but with his other projects and then his demise he left incomplete writings on this subject which were found in one of his trunk by the Committee incharge of publishing his writings. Government of Maharashtra, who published the unpublished and half written articles of Baba in the year 1987 as Vol-III has given major advantage for others to say that Baba did not agree with Aryan invasion This was done without checking whether these writings were before 1048. Now it is seen that these incomplete writings were completed in Who were Shudras with updations, and the same were not required to be published at all.
E) Babasaheb clearly declares that there was Aryan invasion and Aryans are outsiders giving newly found evidences. Till recent time, because there was not other learned to continue his work further, this issue is highlighted as Baba rejected AIT. No, he did not at all. He says that there are no evidences to support this theory in RG Veda. Even there is no proof to prove that the Aryans are Indians in Rg veda.
Now, with DNA test it closes the debate once and for all and that is why David Frawley (RSS sponsored Writer) writes that there are beautiful Shudras and ugly Brahmins.
F) Speeches of Babasaheb:
o On 24/11/1956 at Saranath Babasaheb gave speech wherein he said “There were wars between Aryans & Nagas. Aryans were on horses and so they won the battles”.
o On 28/10/1956 at Ludhiana Babasaheb said “When Aryans came in India, the Chaturvarna system got established”
o On 05/10/1956 at Deeksha Bhoomi Nagpur, he said “ Nagas were enemies of Aryans and there were wars between them. Aryans even burned Nagas.
So Babasaheb was of one opinion that Aryans are invaders to India. Only he scrutinized this issue from all the angles to leave no space for his distracters to deny his findings.
2. There are several loopholes in this racist theory.
REP: Reply to 1 could be the explanation
3. There are many SC/OBC who are of eurasian origin (ex: gujjars).
Rep: Yes, the Arya Shudra as researched by Babasaheb for the first time, there are Aryans in OBC. About Gujjars, they choose to change their status from OBC to ST only to oppose Meena’s. Gujjars were rulers till 1847 when the British tagged them as Criminal Tribes due their illicit activities. Sonars, Vaidyas, Kayasthas are other examples of Arya Shudra. But surely, Kunbhi, Kurmi, Sutar, Lohar and others are Anarya Shudras i.e. Aboriginals.
4. Racial purity is a myth of Manuwadis
Rep: The Dwijas are so vigilant about their leinage that they protect interest of other Dwija irrespective of Religion. The ruling caste has ample of money for such activities as they are in control of wealthiest malls of India (temples, Churches and Mosques). Yes, have you ever heard of Roman Catholic Brahmin and Hussaini Muslim Brahmin. It is the fact that Brahmin has no Religious consistency towards Hinduism which they should have had as they call themselves as Creator & Controller of Hinduism. All they want is control over Religious malls. That is why, they did not leave Bodhgaya saying that Buddha is 9th Avtar of Vishnu and so they pray him. Then why they spare rest of the Buddhist Viharas? The Hajimalang near Kalyan can also be given an example, muslim dargah under Brahmin control. Point is they seek control over Religious malls, so as to take revenge on the descendents of those Kings who punished their forefathers. This is the sole reason of hatred and entire planning done on one Agenda finish aboriginals. You may please visit http://www.aryannation.comto understand how all the Aryans across the globe are under one umbrella irrespective of religion “TO MAKE THIS EARTH FREE FROM NON ARYANS” and wipe out other races. Aryans are known to keep agenda alive for ages and strike at favourable time. We try to understand their move and prepare accordingly. Further they know from their texts that they are on this earth to protect leinage rights and act accordingly in every generation. Then why not we all come up for our cause.
There is not question of me to shift the blame from OBC to Brahmin, it is the reality but cleverly hidden by RSS in their manifesto that the culprit is Dwijas. OBCs are only pawn in their hands.
5. It has no scientific basis as there has been sufficient intermingling of races in India. But that would be distorting facts and the truth.
REP: Court of Law orders DNA test in cases when a man denies to be father of the child and the human claims otherwise to decide the father. Science can be empirical if the test is placebo but these are realistic.
6. Jerry thinks that the OBC kunbis who committed the crimes on the Bhootmange family should not be punished and hanged but they should rather be educated that the crimes they committed are at the bidding of Dwijas.
Rep: Armugam accused me that I am of the view that the Khairlanji villagers who have committed the crime should not be punished. The type of verdict by the fast track Court opens the channel for the convicts to approach higher Court as the rape and atrocity charges are dropped. It can be guessed that the punishment is likely to get diluted in higher Courts. This is not acceptable to us. That is why I wrote “Verdict is partially in line with the Law” and only the convicts will be punished by the Law. I further wrote that the accused are not real culprits, not in physical sense of the Law but in social sense. There is force who makes this mental status of OBC’s (Anarya Shudras only) and we all should be appraised by all the inhuman acts against the Dalits across the Country. If seen closely, one can conclude that atrocity are not committed by Brahmins or by Arya Shudra, they are only committed by Anarya Shudras only. Committing such level of crimes against humans is the result of proper planning and strong motive of the interested communities for achieving wider goals which only ruling caste has.
7. How are you legally going to establish that the Dwijas indoctrinated the Kunbi OBCs to commit this crime. Do you have concrete evidence. The case will fall completely flat on its face.
Rep: There is no need to prove in any Court that the Dwijas are real criminals as we do not want to go to the court of Law but we go to the people to ensure nil atrocity in future. In the present scenario, there is no other solution other than organizing mass agitation for which all the aboriginals are to be united. Case of Bhotmage is one of the atrocity committed in this country and we need to work for eradication for ever.
I thank Armugam to put query to my thought. Ending with Agreement to Rahul that guilty is to be punished but how much will be decided by High Court? Therefore only real manu and manuvadi are to be punished. Others can be changed to standby our side. The work is started. 2 lakh Marathas renounced Hinduism to establish their own religion SHIV DHARMA in Feb 2005 at SINDKHEDRAJA, the birth place of MATA JIJABAI. Historians like A.H.Salunke, who has dissected all the hindu sacred texts is a great propagator of this fact.
DNA of human also matches 95% to a cockroach. The race difference is found in last 2%. This is Science. We accept science as Einstein in many of his speeches declared that Buddha was the first scientist of the world.
Note: Tried to be brief. Refer the books for further clarifications

In yet another shocking instance accused in Suryawada Atrocity Case were acquitted, which has now become a rule rather than exception in India when the convictions had sunk below 1% . Principal and sessions Judge Hon. S.S.Buradkar in Bhandara , acquitted the two accused named
No.1 , Sharad Kaitade
No. 2 , Mrs. Madhave Raut
from the charges as under S.3(1)(ii) , S.3(1)(x) and 3(2)(vii) of Prevention of Atrocity Act , 1989 on 15th July , 2008 .
The short story of case has already been detailed in earlier posts goes like this.
On 3rd April , 2007 , the Headmistress of the Pre-Middle School, Mrs Tembhurkar ,a Buddhist, residing in Bhandara got herself transferred due to mental harassment from village Panchayat and Centre Head of the Block , Mr.Katekhaye.
On the same day, the charge was taken over by accused no.1 , Sharad Kaitade.
On 4th April , when the dalit students of standard 7th who were asked to sit in a separate row while taking examination , the accused no. 1 colluded and accused no.2 i.e Mrs. Madhavi Raut sprinkled cow’s urine on the person of the students. Not only this, the chair on which the former Head Mistress Mrs. Tembhurkar was sitting was sprinkled Cow’s urine .
After the school closed for the day, the students and the guardians went to the school, enquired the incident. Teachers then admitted that the incident did take place and they tendered apology. The guardians of the students and the village people made a demand to take suitable action against the erring teachers .
A fax of the matter was send to the Inspector of Police Station , Bhandara. The said letter was then handed over to P.S.I . Mansingh Chauhan , who had enquired into the said matter and reported prima facie there evidence against the teachers under the S.7(1)(d) of Protection of Civil Rights Act.
P.S.I. Chauhan then registered the offence against the accused persons . However the offence under Atrocity Act was added due to demand made by the Local Dalit organisations. The investigation of the matter was conducted by Shri Sangram Singh Nishnadar, Sub-divisional Police Officer. He seized the pages of the answer books of the students and then referred to the Chemical Analysis. Caste Certificate of the students were obtained from the Sub-divisional Officer , Bhandara . C.A. report, reveals that the liquid in small bottles labeled ‘B’ is cow urine . However, the opinion as to the presence of cow urine on the answer papers of Geography of Standard 7th resulted inconclusive. After the completion of the investigation, the charge sheet came to be filed against the accused persons for their trial according to law.
The learned Hon.Judge S.S.Buradkar acquitted the accused giving following reasons –
1)The incident happened on 4th April and the fax by the complainant was send on 15th or 16th April which was treated as F.I.R. The reasons for delay in filing F.I.R . was not satisfactorily submitted by the prosecution which gives rise to suspicion of improvement and embellishment.
2) The F.I.R. was not registered with the local police station.
3) The F.I.R does not disclose the caste of the accused as well as that of the complainant.
4) The witness has admitted in the cross-examination that cows and buffaloes used to be tied around her school . The cattle used to ease and urinate in the said land. There used to be odor of urine in the said premises. When the atmosphere is polluted , there is the possibility that the same matter can be smelt by the witnesses.
5) So far as the testimony of Sonali and Naina is concerned, they are child witnesses. They have acted as experts. They improved their version to suit the circumstances of the case. Therefore , the testimony of these witnesses can not be accepted as gospel truth.
6) In Chemical Analysis Report, the liquid in the bottle was proved to be of Cow’s urine but the blisters on the answer sheet of the students were not proved to be due to Cow’s urine.
Summing up the Judgment Order, the Hon.Judge said , “ The prosecution has failed to establish that the liquid which was allegedly sprinkled on the person of the students and their articles was cow urine. The prosecution has also failed to establish the F.I.R. discloses the offence under Atrocities Act and therefore, the further investigation and the trial thereon is not warranted . There is inordinate delay in lodging of F.I.R. All the facts give rise to the unnatural story put by the prosecution. The benefit of all these facts shall go in favor of the defense. Thus, all of these facts shall go in favor of the defense . Thus the accused persons are entitled to be acquitted of both charges .”
WHAT A PITY !
Who lies children or teacher?
Or Caste impregnated Systems?

Khairlanji massacre has become a WATERSHED that sensitized media, civil society and politic by producing a realistic perspective on caste violence very deeply. Father Bhaiyalal was present in Khairlanji at 11 Am when the function started. There was a delegation led by a Japanese monk expressed support to Bhotmanges from worldwide community. There was an equivocal demand for having the ‘Khairlanji Memorial Pillar’ in front of the hut.
None of the violent incidents reported till this time all over country. Atrocitynews correspondent from Khairlanji reports gathering of 120 people during the start of the function and many more joining in groups.
We will come with the photographs for our readers soon.

Comment that makes point!
Here is a counter argument from Armugam that pin-points falacies in Jerry’s comment…
“I find this post Racist than beautiful. Even Dr. Ambedkar completely dismissed the idea that the Dalits and OBCs are a disticnt race as compared to Dwijas. There are several loopholes in this racist theory. There are many SC/OBC who are of eurasian origin (ex: gujjars). Racial purity is a myth of Manuwadis and this post is stating the same theory in inverse. The people who popularised this theory are the Adi-Dharmi followers of Ravidas and the dravidian movement in Tamil Nadu. It has no scientific basis as there has been sufficient intermingling of races in India. If you are trying to shift the blame from the members of the Kunbi OBC community who murdered and raped the dalit Bhootmange family to a broader caste spectrum then it is another matter. But that would be distorting facts and the truth.
Considering the above so called progressive post. The OBC kunbis who commited the crimes on the Bhootmange family should not be punished and hanged but they should rather be educated that the crimes they commited are at the bidding of Dwijas. How are you legally going to establish that the Dwijas indoctrinated the Kunbi OBCs to commit this crime. Do you have concrete evidence. The case will fall completely flat on its face. The Bhootmanges will not get justice and become pawns in the machinations of these baseless political ideologies. These so called progressive thoughts only reinforce inhuman behaviour.”
Armugam, thanks for comments. Your point is valid that tolerance on grounds of empirical theories may be fatal, consequences would be emergance of elements of superiority or inferiority among groups. However Jerry was right when he said ‘no’ to any grounds for hate among people with typical backgounds like OBC’s as a group of people. Idealogies can be fought against, what is good in celebrating win over group of people?
Lets expell caste virus from minds by practicing constitutional morality, that’s what Great King Ashoka would have asked us to do, had he been alive>>

Khairlanji Manifesto
The Khairlanji Massacre of 2006 brought out ugly facts of the caste based discrimination and violence. During the trial the caste angle was brought into the notice of the Honourable Judge. The Khairlanji massacre is the straightforward and clear case of caste atrocity. There are special provisions under the Prevention of Atrocities Act. This act is not supposed to act as a safeguard but enforces the constitutional mandate abolition of untouchability. Four members of the Bhotmange Family were brutally killed, but what happened before the killings will even put the barbarians in shame. It was the maniac mob that stripped the women naked and paraded them. Though the honourable court has ruled out the molestation of women, the simple fact that the bodies were found naked should be enough to attract the provisions of outraging the modesty of mother and her only daughter.
Priyanka, the brightest child, had a dream to live a better world and her dream was shattered by the caste minded people. The murder of the family by the mob is not just a murder, but it is plot masterminded and preplanned. The fact that the murders did not take place due to forced circumstances, but by the preplanning should be suffice enough to show that there was some underlying intention. The underlying intention became obvious when the perpetrators heaped caste abuse when the most horrific incidence that sent shock waves throughout India and the world.
What followed after the incidence is a classic case of defunct Police administration, corrupt politicians & government officials colluding together and utter silence of the media in the beginning. The justice machine moved only when the activists and civil society responded. The media not only intervened positively afterwards, but the debates and discussion on the atrocities and caste discrimination began on the national level. This is a very positive development and the highest official, the Prime Minister, acknowledged the fact of the hidden apartheid in India.
And what was done by the civil right activists, media and conscious citizens of India was undone by the Judicial inactivism. The Khairlanji Massacre case should not only have made Judiciary more active, but also proactive role in safegurading the rights of the discriminated communities in India. The Parliament have made laws to protect the discriminated communities and the Judiciary is unmaking those laws.
The common citizens of India have right not only to condemn the laws which takes away their human rights, which are the foundation of our country, but they have also right to defend the rights that are flowing from the Constitution of India. In India, the constitution is supreme and the Judiciary must act in accordance with the law of the land.
We, the undersigned members of Indian Republic, are outraged to learn that caste Hindus, through their predecessors in interest in power, played a role in perpetuating enslavement and untouchability of Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribes for 3000 years.
According to various reports of government of India and other research many Caste Hindus are accused of benefiting from: propagating untouchability, torturing Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe to keep them enslaved, stealing their labor, raping their women, and treating them like inhuman. All of this was done for social-economic and political gain of caste Hindus.
The protective actions on part of government are insufficient to ensure justice and human treatment of SC/ST community in free India. We expect strong and sincere efforts by the government in power for establishing justice, liberty, equality, and freedom to all its citizen.
We believe that all citizen of Indian Nation are equal before law and before government.
India is boasting high about its economic boom and also periodically we stand as a nation for the rights of humanity and peace. Eg. Recent protest against China saying they are violating the rights of Tibetans, but what about our own people who are treated less than animal in the free country.
Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribe population is still struggling to overcome the vestiges of caste — discrimination in housing, employment, education, economic development opportunities, and healthcare opportunities, to name a few.
The caste pride, social-economic status of few people is valued at the cost of killing, raping, and trafficking Scheduled Caste/Tribes women, men and children.
We demand that India as nation and Maharashtra State has to take up responsibility for historical crimes against humanity.
We urge that strong and immediate action must be taken with public apology for crime of caste and untouchability. In addition we as a citizen of this country demand reparation for this age old slavery and untouchability.
Demands:
- Police:
- Representation of SC/ST officer- preferably women SC/ST officer with good record must be placed at each police station that is empowered to register the case under SC/ST POA Act 1989.
- Equal representation of SC/ST on each Police officers rank.
- 1/3 of the police higher administration must represent SC/ST officers and they must not be transferred on random basis.
- Every forth subsequent state DGP must be from SC/ST community
- According to Supreme Court apex directive on police reform, each state must set up State Security Commission. The State Security Commission will be chaired by the state Deputy Chief Minister and Home Minister with a Director General of Police as its secretary. A leader of Opposition as well as a woman and another non- government member will also serve on the panel. Two third of the member of the commission must be from SC/ST communities.
- Judiciary
- Representation of SC/ST judges and lawyers in public prosecution
- The cases where Caste based violence and or violence/crime against SC/ST occurs must be tabled before judges bench with adequate representation of SC/ST.
- Doctors
- Qualified and independent doctors preferably women from SC/ST community
- Regular training
- As form of reparation and restitution of 3000 years old untouchability against SC population, Government of Maharashtra/Government of India must apologize and a Comprehensive decent Urban resettlement must be planned of the rural SC population who are under threat or vulnerable to the attacks from caste Hindus.
- SC ST POA ACT- must be strengthened with comprehensive amendments to include all above points
- Responsible Media
- Establishment of Caste Monitoring Commission (unlike SC ST commission) with substantial powers to initiate, monitor, research, and coordinate welfare projects, violent/non violent atrocity cases, anti-discrimination policies in rural/urban labor & employment issues, and other issues related to violation of human rights of SC/ST.
- District level participatory committee of government and dedicated NGOs lead by SC/ST communities
- These NGOs must be engaged at city-village level administrative and municipal activities/projects
- Establishment of 24 hours toll free help line for antidiscrimination acts with strong linkages to the caste monitoring commission.
- Periodic Comprehensive Need based Training program in coordination with dedicated SC/ST lead NGOs for doctors, police, judicial officers, media personnel, government executives , and for all other concerned machineries.
- Special budget allocation for all above activities along with transparency with NGOs/peoples representatives
- We also demand that the following Recommendations from Government of Maharashtra Report after the Khairlanji Massacre should be complied with:
i) Adequate police protection should be immediately provided to Shri Bhaiyalal Bhotmange, Shri Siddharth Gajbhiye, Shri Rajan Gajbhiye, their relatives and the other Scheduled Caste families of Khairlanji and Dusala villages.
ii) Similar police protection be provided to all the witnesses of the incident.
iii) In view of a serious neglect of duty by the district administration and police in handling the Khairlanji incidence, and consequent loss of people’s trust in the State machinery, the CBI investigation should be started immediately, and a charge sheet be filled within stipulated time period.
iv) A charge-sheet be filed within the stipulated time pried. The aspect of deliberated destruction/omission of evidence should be specifically looked into by the investigating agency, and accordingly investigation should be carried out and charges should be fixed on the concerned.
v) It is not enough to merely transfer / suspend the officers guilty of neglect of duty in handling the incident. Such officers should be made co- accused in the criminal proceedings, and an enquiry should also be initiated against them under the Prevention of Atrocities Act, 1989. The officers found guilty should be denied all service benefits including pension, gratuity, etc.
vi) The medical registration and qualifications of the medical officers including Civil Surgeon who have committed serious neglect in the post-mortem of Khairlanji victims should be immediately cancelled, and Bhotmange Waiting for Justice they should be subjected to similar penal procedure as the other officers guilty of neglect of duty.
vii) Shri Pankaj Gupta, Special Inspector General of Police, Nagpur has made a premature and irresponsible public statement that the Khairlanji incident did not involve rape on female victims. It is learnt from the public that Shri Pankaj Gupta accepted a bribe from the interested elements to make such a statement. Similarly, it took 14 days for Shri Gupta to visit Khairlanji, which takes just about an hour’s journey to reach from Nagpur. All these matters are extremely serious and hence a discrete confidential enquiry should be initiated against Shri Pankaj Gupta in order to investigate the above matters.
viii) A special investigation into the sequence of events including landline and mobile phone calls made, secrete meetings held in and out of the village prior to the incident especially between September, 3 and September, 29 should be conducted with a view to uncover the roots of an organized conspiracy to allow the Khairlanji massacre.
ix) The Government should make it mandatory for the concerned Superintendent of Police and Special Inspector General of Police (Range) as well as Inspector General of Police (PCR) to visit every location of atrocities within 24 hours of incident, and report directly to the Home Department on the visit. The Director General of Police should also visit the location depending on the gravity of the incident.
x) Even after handing over of investigation to CBI nothing prevents the Director General of Police from visiting Khairlanji. This will send the right signal to the police machinery across the State at all levels, and will ensure proper assistance of Police Department to CBI in further investigation. xi) The decision of handing over the Khairlanji investigation to CID and subsequently to CBI was taken at the highest levels of State Government only in the wake of pressing demands and violent demonstrations by Buddhists and Dalits to this effect. Ideally, the State Government should have proactively established a dialogue with all the important stakeholders in this matter, and initiated the necessary response suo moto. Such proactive measures need to be taken at the Government level even now.
xii) The Vigilance Committee at the State level must meet once in a quarter to constantly review the status of atrocities and should regularly take the appropriate corrective measures. Similarly, the district level Vigilance Committee must meet every month.
xiii) Khairlanji incident triggered a lot of social commotion and protests. Many a protestors have been taken into custody and are subjected to further proceedings. The provisions under which they have been booked should be examined by an independent authority, and fast track courts be established for deciding these cases.
xiv) Henceforth, if atrocities indicate the possibility of sexual assault and rape then the following care should be taken while conducting post- mortem :
a. The post-mortem must be done by a sufficiently senior, qualified and experienced doctor along with a lady doctor;
b. Careful examination of genitals of victim along with proper samples of Vaginal Swab, Rectal Swab, Pubic Hair, Nail Clippings of both hands, Blood, etc., be carried out in presence of a qualified lady witness. The samples should be sealed in presence of the lady witness. c. Photographs of the naked bodies of victims should be taken for further reference during investigations as the bodies decompose and perish rapidly.
v) A Mobile Investigation Van fully equipped with life-saving devices, medicines, and trained doctors and nurses along with senior police personnel should be dispatched to the concerned location within two hours of reporting of an atrocity.
vi) A Standing Committee at the Divisional Level consisting of medico- legal experts, retired judges, retired police officers with proven integrity and character, NGOs, etc., should be constituted to oversee all the aspects of investigation including collection of evidences and witnesses, preparation of charge-sheets, presentation of the case by public prosecutor, etc.
vii) The Government should immediately cause to undertake through a neutral agency a survey of all the villages in the State to identify / detect villages observing untouchability in any form. In order to ensure that no village henceforth indulges in discrimination against Dalits in any form, a policy decision
needs to be taken at the Government level that any village observing untouchability in any form shoud not be given any grant by the Government. The Village Panchayat body should be immediately superceded after the incident. The Member of Zilla Parishad and Panchayat Samiti from the concerned area will be suspended immediately after the preliminary investigation establishes commission of offence.
viii) In case of reporting of discrimination or atrocities in a village, the village level / local level administrative functionaries such as Talathi, Health Worker, Anganwadi Worker, Gramsevak, Police Sub Inspector, Police Patil, Beat Constable, etc., should also be suspended immediately.
The action taken on the elected representatives and officials should be widely announced and publicized to send the right signal to the State machinery. The survey should also identify villages with a very small number of Dalit households (within five) and a history of atrocities / communal tensions. The Dalit families from all such village should be rehabilitated along urban fringes with proper provision of schools, water supply, playgrounds and such other amenities as per the State Rehabilitation Law and Policy. Bhandara district can be the starting point for this exercise to be carried out under the Special Component Plan. All disputes around Dalit lands, properties, wages, jobs, loans, etc.,should be proactively tracked and monitored personally by Tehsildar /Sub-divisional Officer under supervision of Collector, and necessarypreventive measures should be taken to prevent the culmination of such disputes into atrocities. Special Dalit-Vasti-Registers should be maintained for all Dalit settlements across the State, and a system of GIS-based monitoring of such settlements should be evolved and made available at all the Deserted Hut Collectorates. The Registers should be regularly updated every six months.
iii) Dalit-Vasti-Registers should also include data on a set of objective indicators reflecting latent conditions for atrocities in a village, thus serving as an ‘Early Warning System’ for taking preventive / preemptive action against a possible outbreak of atrocities. The data should be collected by NGOs or such other stakeholders not part of the formal administration system. However, once the data is in place the administration should be held responsible for the necessary vigilance and preventive steps.
iv) Relevant sections of CRPC should be invoked and amended suitably if required, to fix the responsibility of reporting of atrocities / indications of possible atrocities in concerned jurisdictions on the elected representatives such as Sarpanch / Panchayat members, Municipal Councilors, etc. In case the atrocities break out then these non-officials should be held responsible for their failure in early reporting.
v) A 24-hour help-line should be started with the help of NGOs in each district to facilitate emergency response to the incidents of atrocities so as to prevent and minimize the loss of life, property and dignity of the vulnerable section of the society. A special scheme in this regard should be designed and implemented though the Social Welfare Department and Human Rights Commission with the participation of suitable agencies. Bhotmange’s Hut Surrounding xxvi) A Handbook on Atrocities containing detailed guidelines on the corrective and preventive actions to be taken by the concerned authorities under the PoA, Act, 1989 be prepared and issued by the Government for ready reference of the administration machinery.
xxvii) A special Committee should be constituted to evaluate the status of implementation of PoA Act, 1989 in the State of Maharashtra, and possible areas of amendment of the Act (if any) be identified and acted upon by the Government.
xxviii) The Committee should also focus on the long-standing issue of ‘Low Rate of Conviction’ in the cases of atrocities. The necessary action to set up Special Courts as provided in the PoA Act should be taken immediately.
xxix) Atrocities against SC / ST are often more heinous than terrorist acts. Further, atrocities are often a deliberate and planned way of terrorizing the SC / ST populations, which constitute about 22% of the total national population, i.e., about 250 million persons. Hence atrocities should be viewed and dealt with on par with terrorism. Provisions of stringent Acts to control organized crime such as POTA, etc., may be extended to such atrocities.
xxx) The Section 4 of PoA Act, 1989 should be made cognizable.
xxxi) As per Section13 (2) of PoA Act, 1989 adequate representation of SC /ST should be ensured in the police force.
xxxii) The Nodal Officer under PoA Act, 1989 should be further empowered, and should be provided with definite execution machinery for effectively delivering his responsibilities. The Nodal Officer should also be authorized to write on a plane sheet of paper the confidential reports of the Collector, Superintendent of Police, Special Inspector General of Police (Range) and Inspector General of Police (PCR), which would ultimately be a part of their Annual Confidential Report.
xxxiii) A State-wide campaign of training should be initiated for all concerned authorities, functionaries and other stakeholders on the issue of atrocities, and the corrective-preventive measures to be taken in
coordination by all of them. This exercise should be taken up by the Social Welfare Department immediately.
xxxiv) Similarly, a State-wide awareness campaign should be initiated to sensitize the public at large about the issue of atrocities. An effective use of television, radio, print media, cable networks, e-mail / internet, etc., be made to disseminate the public messages on this issue. A clear message should be sent through media that the villages / groups / persons committing atrocities on SC / ST will be dealt with very severely.
xxxv) A special section on atrocities should be included in the school curriculum and text-books under history / civics / social service, etc, and accordingly the teachers also should be given a special training on Equity and Social Justice issues.
xxxvi) A State Action Plan for eradication of atrocities should be prepared and announced by the State Government through participation of NGOs, activists, social workers, legal-constitutional experts, government and private agencies, etc. A social movement towards achieving social justice and solidarity should be initiated through participation of NGOs and civil society organizations. Through such a movement cutting across all sections of society a common forum such as ‘Samajik Samata Sangh’ could be created for addressing the social evils such as untouchability, discrimination and atrocities.

Jeery, a vigilant reader, has plucked the chords with those beautiful lines. He comments …
“Khairlanji and Barabanki Verdicts may be partially in line with law but I do not agree with punishment to the accused as they are not the real culprits. It is the castism and hatred towards so called lower castes by the so called higher castes which is the root cause in this case, or else the villagers did not have any reason to be jealous of Bhotmages progress. Castism is rigid chronological inequality defined from ages through sacred texts starting from Brahmin to Bhangi. Shudras present day OBC starting from Kayastha & Sonar to Kunbhi, are divided in more than 6000 sub castes. Then there are Avarnas starting from cobbler to nomads , today’s SC/ST.When there is so much division in society, it is good to identify brotherhood by scientific evidence and get hold of real culprit. Dr. Michael Bamshad’s famous DNA test has proved that todays OBC’s , SC/ST’s & Converts are of same DNA, and the DNA of DWIJAS is matching to EUROASIANS (IRANIANS) . So, todays OBC is fighting for enemy against his own brother and killing them.The solution is to educate the OBC’s about this and 100% atrocity will vanish as DWIJAS never come on street and commit crime and will loose hands of OBC’s who execute their plans.”

There is one more welcome news from U.P. which will enforce confidence in judicial process and in future of democracy in India.
Those awarded capital punishment are Sagar, Nanku, Harinath and Ashok. All of them are kurmis. According to the prosecution, Sagar and his friends killed one Chhedu, a chamar, because he had dared to question them for attempting to molest his daughter.
Angered that a chamar had shown the temerity to criticize them, Sagar, his two sons Ashok and Nanku, and brother Harinath, found Chhedu alone in a field and chased him.
A desperate Chhedu climbed up a tree. According to the prosecution, the four men then cut down the tree. “Chhedu was beaten up with lathis and then hacked to death,” the prosecutor said.
Earlier, there was an unsubstantiated charge against Chhedu of killing one of Sagar’s friends, Chhauguniya, as well. However, since no FIR was lodged against Chhedu, he walked free.
This, too, angered Sagar and his friends who then plotted a grisly revenge — which has now culminated in their receiving the death sentence.

Though the final judgment is out, today but there seem to be wild aberration in the judgment which will hound the Judicial system in India for long period especially in concern of women rights.
Also widely highlighted, the CASTE ANGLE TO the case is seemingly buried down silently and technically; for sure it mounts a hUGE DEMOCRATIC DEFICIT for Indian ‘new society’ to be fulfilled in long run. The people of India, actively, should take cognizance and should sensitize different systems to eradicate the Caste virus. Denying existence of such Virus will only help to prolifer the deadly inhuman disease.
ATROCITYNEWS WILL CONTINUE TO FOLLOW UP THE ENTIRE MOVEMENT FOR DIGNITY>>ATROCITY ACT (POA) NEEDS A REVISIT !

Today the final verdict comes from the Sessions court Bhandara. Much awaited justice already was in black shade due following reasons-
1. Caste Atrocity (POA) charges not applied..
2. No charges against Humiliation of woman body ( IPC 354)..
3. No charges against plot, organised crime (IPC 120 B)
Even the Prosecution Adv Ujwal Nikam said the consciously the Dalit angle to the case is suppressed.
The judgement was clearly visible from 20th Sept. All were expected be awarded till hang till death.
But today the Judge granted 6 were awarded death by hang. whereas 2 were awarded life imprisonment.
We will come with the names of the accused in relation with the Judgement.

The audience in Session’s Court at Bhandara on 22 Sept 08 was briefed on the ‘public pressure’ that Hon. Judge Das feels from activist groups in shaping the justice in favor. Yesterday the Judge, without observing JUDICIAL SERVICE CODE, spelled out his negative feelings in the public view. This is result of desperation out of large information impact and letters from Social Justice Ministry. Also it was sort of outcome of prejudice against peoples activism if not the Caste Mind-set while dealing with the Khairlanji issue. Such a craziness could be a very unhealthy feature for a Judiciary in 21st century. Fathers of modern India would have never bestowed so much of power in strong pillars of democracy, had they contemplated free rides by people sitting in positions. Today, instead of taking up responsibilities, they are muddling in castigating people.
Hon. Judge Das adorned in himself a self-proclaimed Educator on the philosophies of Buddha and Dr Ambedkar without understanding inch of their struggle against ill blasphemies. He said that Dr Ambedkar did not feel need to come on streets to demand justice. What little, one knows about Dr Ambedkar is a sheer convenient aperture look. One must see in Dr Ambedkar, a fighting spirit for social justice when he publicly touched water from Mahad lake. Buddha was walking many miles to understand the problems of the people. How many such active involvement with suffering community today we see from self-proclaimed educators? Need is to understand nerves of masses and to sense their sense for rights when they come on streets, otherwise a French revolution is bound.
But we see unwarranted comments from the same quarters those are respected by commoners, in return same quarters show least respect for people activism,moreover, at times fail to perform their duties as per service rules. Is this not a contempt of democracy?
There is little doubt that the democratic mindsets among 250 million Dalits do not resort to violence easily unless provoked, the simple case is - though not all of them well-versed in law, even after the brutal murder of Dalit family in day time in castiest colors, continue to keep high hope in legal process, to which the self-proclaimers remain oblivious. The most suffering class respects institutions the most is a truth that democracy is prevailing in India even after 60 years of independence. However the quality of democracy is doubtful in the hands of few, who are sitting in these Institutions.

Bhandara sessions Court awraded 3 months imprisonment to Mahadev Zanzad. Mahadev turned hostile during trials. In his earlier statements to Police he said he saw the crime done by the village mob under castiest shadow.
But in trials he took ‘U’ turn and did not accept that he was at the spot of the scene.
Zanzad will serve the statement with effect from today.

The Sessions court in Bhandara under Hon Judge Das is sitting on 24th Sept further for declaring the last judgement on the Khairlanji Massacre.
Already the Court has been tainted with prejudice lets watch further how it gives the summary justice to Bhotmanges.

Below is a clipping sent by our Bhandara correspondent that shows a lady in her mid 50s who could not withstand court ruling and wept vociferously. One can hear her hard voice and heartfelt cry for justice to Bhotmanges and likes.
( Like Bhotmanges, many other families suffer huge hardships due to caste based violence in India every year even if families are educated)

Today , it was expected that the court will pronounce its final judgement. But it was the day of arguments regarding the punishment to be given to the remaining 8 accused. The people were rushing to the court from all the places even though there was announcement by the District Collector of section 144 to prevent the unlawful assembly from Trimurti Chowk to Z.P.square of Bhandara. The entry into the court was restricted . The court was guarded like a fort from all the sides and around 100 police were deployed in front gate of the court. At around 11:15 A.M., a mob of around 50-60 people along with Bhaiyyalal Bhotmange, M.L.A. of Nagpur Nitin Raut arrive into the court. The people following them try to take forcible entry through the gate of the court.But they are blocked by the police. The scuffle ensues between some of the activists and police officers. Later some of them are permitted to go inside the court-premise , but after a few minutes, it was learnt that two activists were detained by the police in their control room who were later released .
The police administration had issued two kinds of entry passes for entering the court. Green pass for entry into court premises and red card for entry into courtroom. The entrants into courtroom had to have no key rings , mobiles or footwear while entering the courtroom. Two activists and a journalist were prevented to enter into the courtroom even though they had valid passes with them.
The judge seems very angry and calls first the police officer, Mr.Pratite, entrusted with the court’s security .He admonishes him to give permission to a journalist. Mr. Pratite then tells that journalist to remain out of the court. After some time the prosecutors and the defence lawyers enter the courtroom.
JUDGE EXPRESSES HIS DISSPLEASURE
As soon as the court begins its work , Hon.Judge S.S.Das , expresses his dissatisfaction over out of court reactions post announcement of his judgement about acquittal of 3 accused, dropping charges under Prevention of Atrocity Act and deleting charge of sexual molestation. He said that he had given verdict on the basis of law and the evidences . Do the people giving such reactions know the law and evidences ? That must be known to lawyers only. Then he calls the S.P. of Bhandara to submit all the statements of the personalities given to media. The S.P., Suresh Sagar obliges. Then he says, “ This country is of Budhha and Babasaheb who framed the constitution. Then why those people give the reactions without the pronouncement of my complete judgement ? Let my complete verdict come before you and then you give your reactions. What was the need of the road trial of my judgement ? On this the public prosecutor , Adv.Nikam suggest him to forget and go ahead. Then the court begins its work.
COURT ASKS THE ACCUSED ABOUT PUNISHMENT
At the start , Hon.Judge asks the accused if they have anything to say. All the accused ,say that they should be awarded least punishment. Then he asks everybody why they should be punished to the minimum sentence. The following is their reply –
1.Accused no.1 Gopal Bijewar(25) says,” I am married and my child and wife are dependent upon me. I am the sole bread-earner.” On this the judge asks , “ why you should not be punished ?” he says , “ I have done no crime. The media accused me of the crime”
2.Accused no. 2 Sakru Binjewar says, “ My home mates are dependent upon me. I have been implicated in false case.” The judge says, “ What other suits are their upon you apart from this present case?” He replies, “ None.
3. Accused no. 3 , Shatrughna Dhande (38) is asked the same question and he answers in the same words.
4. Accused no.6(since accused no.3 & 4 are already acquitted) , Vishvanath Dhande(58) says, “ I do menial work. My home mates are dependent upon me.
5.Accused no.7, Ramu Dhande (44)says, “ I am married and have two children. I have their responsibility upon me .
6. Accused no.8 , Jagdish Mandalekar(42) says, “ I do menial work. My mother is old. Who will take care of my son ?”
7. Accused no. 9 , Prabhakar Mandalekar (25) says, “ I am of young age.”
8.Accused no.11, Shishupal Dhande(22) says, “ I am too young to undergo punishment.”
Then all the accused say,“ We do not have any criminal cases upon us. This is the only false case. We should be given least punishment. We will behave well, work to live well. We are very poor. Who will look after our family after us?” They start crying after saying this. This finishes the say of the accused.
ADV. UJWAL NIKAM ARGUES
Adv.Nikam begins his arguments on following lines-
- For this crime, the only punishment to be given according law is hang till death or life imprisonment. The option of life imprisonment means it is the discretion of the court. But since it is not a cold blooded but the frozen blooded murder, the accused should be awarded the punishment of death. Pronouncement of death sentence does not mean the revenge. The law never cites to take revenge.
- There are these four circumstances for which the accused should be awarded the punishment of death (a) Manner of murder (b) Exceptional cruel attitude of accused. (c) Accused behaved in such manner, the thousands of other accused would never behave. This is the rarest of rare case.
- The rarest of rare has no concern with how many persons are killed . But it has relation with method of killing and the mentality of the accused.
- All the accused enjoyed killings. They were very brutal, unscrupulous and they had total disregard for human life.
- On the day of incident , accused Jagdish Mandalekar and Vishvanath Dhande were inciting others. All had weapons. They had common intention to terminate the Bhotmange family. The deceased were armless and helpless. They did not incite the mob. Surekha and Priyanka were killed because they testified in Sidhhartha assault case. But what was the guilt of Sudhir and Roshan ? Sudhir was handicapped. Priyanka and Roshan were teenagers. What was the need to end their lives ?
- The accused not only murdered but they beat the victims till death.
- Surekha Bhotmange had 16 deep injuries. That means the accused beat her with the sticks and chains till the blood oozed out from each of her injury .Therefore , I say it is frozen blooded murder. It was a pre-planned murder.They all had common object and enjoyed murder of these 4 victims.
- The punishment for this unnatural death should be only the death sentence. By this , their destructive brain shall be ended and the society shall learn that end of such crime will be death.
- To terminate the abnormal brain, death sentence is proper.
- In Salmond’s Jurisprudence , there are 4 types of punishment-(i)Deterrative (ii) Reformative (iii)Preventive (iv) Retroactive .
- If the sentence of life imprisonment is awarded , their abnormal mind shall survive and after release from jail , they will become hardcore criminals. So, they should be provided only with death sentence.
- This case fits perfectly with the citation of Supreme Court in Bachhan Singh Vs. State of Punjab and Machhisingh Vs. State of Punjab.
- Just because the accused are of young and old age, they need not be given any special consideration. They can not be reformed now. Any wicked man can be reformed. But whose hairs are already bent , what the Gange’s water will do even if he takes dip into it.
- C.B.I. LAWYER ADV.KHAN BRIEFS
- The C.B.I.counsol Adv.Ezaz Khan stated his side briefly and said that to give the message that ‘ criminals get fit punishment’, the court should award the penalty of the death sentence. (At this stage , the court is adjourned for lunch-break till 3 P.M.)

Khairlanji Culprits
We have to keep in mind why the caste based violence is spreading its tentacles with more dalits getting educated. State and judiciary have to answer now, unlike earlier days. The easy pressure is realised by administration.See how police mishandling dalit activists in the following shot. Despite huge torture and spiral of poverty , now, nothing can stop them from demanding justice and yes, dignity!

Additional features of Police Terror are-
Paralysing Democracy 001>> IPC 144, JAMAVBANDI in Bhandara ,today and tomorrow, wherein it means group of four or more if walk down the street, would be liable for prosecution.
Paralysing Democracy 002>> Cable TV to remain off during the proceedings as per Police order.
Paralysing Democracy 003>> The print and electronic media to screen the content, first to Police.
Paralysing Democracy 004>> NO permission to enter court premises for a common man, only at the whims and fancies of Judge and Police Administration entry possible.
Paralysing Democracy 005>> Possible contempt of court on Media persons by the Court of Hon Judge Das.

Today is 20th Sept 08 , the court has sat today for the final hearing. In an unprecedented yet black event, few of the Newspaper corespondents were forced to leave the court by the Hon Justice Das with hand gestures, without any reason. This is an aweshoking incidence in any democracy. Most suffering people in India are most democratic, in a sense they respect the institutions utmost otherwise its easy for them to blow up the structure of democracy in no time by succumbing to several tyrannies that Caste system offers.
But the people sitting in the places (system),mostly, are carelessly & currupt , doing nothing to increase the moral and faith of the people in structures of Democracy, Sessions Court in Bhandara is not left out.
Even the Govt. machinery has failed to understand the constitutional rights of a common citizen in cases similar to Khairlanji (Caste conviction rates are meagre, less than 2%) . The people who are responsible to protect the law of the land are so shabbily breaking it, is serious matter of concern.
Today, after seeing Hon Judge Das’s body gestures, the Deputy Supritendant of Police(Dy. S.P.) Mr Pratipe physically drove out few Newspaper correspondants without any written statement or a valid reason. Dy. SP Mr Thorat went to an extent of abusing, ‘I will throw out, if you dont leave the court,’ as if the Court premises is the private property of some high ranking officials.
Or this could be termed as frustration of the Judge and Police functionaires due to silent movement started by people. If it is so the concerned authorities are liable of punitive action !
Is this way the people of India want democracy to work? How a prejudiced Session’s court at Bhandara under Judge Das will deliver fair justice is now sheer game of probability?
Readers please respond..

Please read the following newspaper cutting which reflects the stand of the larger peoples movement for dignity in India. Now, how the Govt of India acts in preventing aberrations done by State Investigation machinery and lower court due to prejudiced element in high power positions, is to be seen…
We, at Atrocitynews, request everyone from the top to bottom of the machinery to come forward for sake of humanity and understand the problem which has tremendous social consequences not immediately but may be later.
Thanks to Union Ministry for responding to the calls of 250 millions of caste suffering population in India !
Which is 25% of India’s population !

There are confirmed reports of Protest in Mahad, the place where Dr Ambedkar accelarated the struggle for Dignity by drinking Public water.
Following is the picture taken from News paper Samrat. The protest was peaceful.

There are also reports of road blockade in Solapur. We at Atrocitynews suggest the atcivists to change the means of protest, Candle March is the most approprite way of peaceful protest during such times ! It is very important to let civil society in the diffrent corners of India understand such a tolerance and peace still can guide India in 21st century despite of criminal/currupt men sitting/protecting the pillars of democracy.
Lets say ‘no’ to road blockades!
