Adivasi's Are Still Treated Barbaric
She stepped out of her safe cover in a protest march, to get her birth rights. Alas! The lady didn't know that she would be the prey of humiliation and distress even in the fast progressing 21st century. Read about the most humiliating incident of the human world of the year that took place in Guwahati, where a tribal woman was stripped and assaulted on the streets by the local residents.
The
incident
took
place
on
24th
November
2007,
during
a
clash
between
local
residents
and
tribal
protesters
belonging
to
the
All
Adivasi
Students
Association
(AASA),
in
which
one
person
was
killed
and
more
than
230
injured.
As
the
mob
violence
spread
like
wild
fire
over
to
various
city
localities,
a
group
of
youths
stripped
a
young
Adivasi
woman
in
full
public
gaze.They
later
kicked
and
punched
her
private
parts
with
a
naughty
grin
of
winning
over
a
helpless
woman.
She
ran
terrorized
like
a
scared
chic
to
find
some
help
from
somebody
only
to
realize,
that
she
was
getting
beaten
by
every
man
on
the
streets.
The
photographs
of
the
helpless
woman
running
naked
for
her
life
were
splashed
in
local
newspapers,
and
every
news
channel
evoking
a
nationwide
debate
about
the
police
inaction.
Later, when the tribal woman had lost all hopes on something called humanity some people took off their shirts and helped her cover herself, before arranging a vehicle to ferry her to the nearest police station. Just to end the story with a note that there is still a ray of hope.
After three successive day police framed charges ranging from rape to molestation on the three youths involved in the act among which two of them were postgraduates. The Chief Minister of Assam announced a financial assistance of Rs 100,000 to the woman. However what would the charges and the money mean to the girl who lost all that she owned in the mid heat of gruesome protest? Has anybody thought about the physical and the mental agony she is going through? Can that be replaced with few years of punishment to the molesters or a handful of priced papers?
How can men who have gather postgraduate degrees act like macho kings on a woman who sometimes takes her hand to either cover her blissful assets and sometime to protect her private parts? Isn't the act a sure cry against human rights?
The Adivasis or tribals of Assam are descendants of those brought from central India by the British more than a century ago to work in the tea gardens as indentured labour. They are now demanding recognition as a "Scheduled Tribe" which would bring them benefits in education and employment.
Whether they would ever get their demands is a debatable question, and the answer is known only by the authorities who own the ruling seat. However after the inhuman and barbaric incident, our land has proved that some people still lack moral values. Where do we rank ourselves still? Back in the cave man's age? Wake up world.... there is lots to fight for?
