The issue of caste-based violence was increasingly becoming a problem which only the Dalits worry about since non-Dalits have been abdicating their responsibility in questioning such atrocities, said writer and historian Stalin Rajangam, here on Saturday.
Addressing the one-day State-level consultation on “Violence against Dalits: Interrogating the social justice in Tamil Nadu” organised by the Dalit Intellectual Collective, he referred to recent instances of violence against Dalits in southern districts and said while the response from the government was inadequate, there was hardly any serious discussions from the civil society as well.
