Caste Politics And Dalit Unrest May Have A Bearing On Rajasthan Polls | Read

A Dalit groom was forced off his horse during his wedding procession last week in a small village in Rajasthan's Bhilwara district. The Dalits retaliated and got 12 people from the upper castes arrested under the SC/ST Act for forcing the bridegroom to dismount. Uday Lal's family is paying a heavy price for attempting to break the caste barrier last week. Uday Lal, a Regar Dalit, dared to ride a horse to his wedding. But it didn't go down well with the upper castes in his village. They forced him off the horse and attacked the guests who were part of his wedding procession.
