Balmiki, Bawaria, Garg, Chauhan: Proclaimed offenders all

Posted: 14 Aug 2009 12:50 AM PDT

The Haryana Police website has a list of proclaimed offenders. Great.
E-governance and all. But how does it help them to record the caste of
every ‘proclaimed offender’? Perhaps because caste is such a valuable
marker of identity that it helps nabbing them – after all, where would
a Chauhan hide if not in the house?

Or perhaps there is more to it.Is it merely incidental that most
proclaimed offenders seem to be Balmiki Dalits in a state known for
atrocities against Dalits, in which the upper castes act with impunity
in collusion with the Haryana police?

Browse through and you will see, fortunately or unfortunately, that
they haven’t been able to find the caste of many, and for very few
Muslims have they any caste detail.
