Unique Protest in Gujarat: Dalits place cow carcasses on streets and on top of parked vehicles
The state-wide protests that began on Monday were triggered by the video of the assault, ironically posted online by one of the assailants himself.
“The sight of Dalit men being treated like animals simply for doing their job angered many people across the state,” said Natubhai Parmar, a Navsarjan Dalit rights activist from Surendranagar. “Atrocities against Dalits happen all the time in Gujarat, but this incident was particularly shocking.”
On Monday, Parmar was among the 1,500 people who gathered in protest outside the Collector’s office in Surendranagar, bringing with them at least 15 trucks full of cattle carcasses which they laid on the streets and on top of parked vehicles. This unique form of protest is set to be replicated in other parts of the state on Wednesday, with multiple Dalit groups in Surendranagar, Ahmedabad and other districts calling on the community to leave dead cattle in the middle of the streets in towns and villages across Gujarat.

i support this peaceful and smelly protest. but if the carcasses remain there for too long, we could have a health crisis.Rashmun wrote:The state-wide protests that began on Monday were triggered by the video of the assault, ironically posted online by one of the assailants himself.

Sir, these are the holy remains of the mothers of gaurakshaks. Surely, those dutiful sons of cows will collect those remains and cremate them with all the respect due to their mothers...

Surendranagar, July 20: Cow carcasses pockmark the streets of Surendranagar and the neighbourhood of dozen-odd bovine shelters in the Gujarat city.
Lalji Chavda, one of the 10-odd persons who used to remove the carcasses and sell the skin and bones, offers a solution: "This job should be done by those who consider cow holy. Let those members of cow protection committees dispose of dead cows if they really worship the cow."
Dalits like Lalji have refused to lift the carcasses because a group of youths were subjected to a savage beating by cow vigilantes in full view of the public. Footage of the assault recalls floggings in slave-era America.
"Hypocrites," mutters Lalji in derision, referring to the double standard of worshipping cows when they are alive and refusing to touch them once they are dead....
The protesters are demanding Rs 10 lakh as compensation for the assaulted youths, government jobs and four acres so they can switch to farming.
The "uprising" has surprised even Dalit leaders who had no inkling of the pent-up anger that is now bursting in the form of sporadic protests. As many as 17 youths have tried to commit suicide till now.
In Vadwan Mahajan Panjarapol, one of the biggest cow shelters, seven carcasses lay littered in a grotesque manner. Of the 4,000 cows in the shelter, 50-odd are sick and likely to die in a few days.
Ganpat Bhai, who used to collect dead animals from the shelter, has joined the protests. "I have been requesting Ganpat Bhai, who lives within the shelter, but he says he cannot go against the call of his community," says Pareshlal, one of the trustees of Vadwan.
