Kendrapara: A Dalit woman was allegedly beaten up by members of upper caste for drawing potable water from a government-dug deep tube well in their area at a village in Odisha's Kendrapara district, police said on Wednesday.
The woman was thrashed by upper caste groups in Pikirali village, about 25 kilometres from Kendrapara, on Monday. The upper caste groups said Dalits were not allowed to draw water from their wells.
The sole tube well in Dalit Sahi area, which served about 10 Dalit families, had been lying defunct since last month. The poor families were forced to use polluted water from a pond nearby.
Driven by compulsion, a Dalit woman, Kalpana Sethi, 25, decided to fetch water from a tube well in front of the house of an upper caste person, Bhamara Jena.
The woman filed an FIR yesterday against Bhamara, Umakanta Jena and Kishor Jena in the local police station alleging that they hurled abuses at her and assaulted her for drawing water from the village tube well.
The woman also alleged in her FIR that some influential upper caste persons had been preventing the Dalits, including women and children, from taking water from the village tube well.
Ms Sethi claimed that earlier too, upper caste members had abused some Dalits for using the tubewell.
"Acting on the FIR lodged by the complainant, cases under sections 354, 294, 341, 506 of IPC and section 3 of SC and ST (atrocity prevention) Act have been registered against persons named in the FIR. The matter is being investigated," said Kendrapara sub-divisional police officer Nrusingh Charana Swain.

>>>Dalits of India deserve a separate country than other groups. It is better to take a survey to find out which state has most number of dalits and make it an independent nation.

The state with the maximum number of Dalits is Uttar Pradesh.

Nellore, October 28: Tension prevailed in Vaddipalem hamlet of Kothavangallu village panachayat in Kodavaluru mandal when the upper caste people of the village prevented dalits from the Dalitwada from using water of the village well.
As the news spread like wildfire, several dalit organisations rushed to the village resulting in exchange of arguments between the upper caste people and dalit leaders. District collector K Ramgopal directed the Kodavaluru MRO to get the pipeline fixed and restore water supply from the well to the Dalitwada and submit a report on the incident immediately.
Vaddipalem, 30 km from here, has two wells, one used by the upper castes and the other by dalits. The water in the well meant for dalits got contaminated a few months ago. Following a request by the dalits, the collector sanctioned Rs1 lakh for laying a pipeline from the other well in the village to supply drinking water to the Dalitwada.
According to Kodavalur tahsildar N Syamalamma, the two groups had agreed to the arrangement and things went smoothly.
However, four days ago, an upper caste person had allegedly de-linked the pipeline cutting of water to Dalits.When the dalits went to the well to fetch water, they were chased away by the upper caste people. The dalits were forced to use the contaminated water for the last four days.
As the news spread, several dalit leaders from other places rushed to the village in support of the local dalits.
MRPS district president J Ramanaiah condemned the ill-treatment of dalits and said even after six decades of independence, caste discrimination was still prevalent and Vaddipallem incident stood testimony to it. Bahujan Samaj Party Kovur incharge B Mastanaiah said it was unfortunate that discrimination against dalits was still continuing.
