 Two Dalit youths from Soganur and Sembedi villages in the Ranipehte district near Arakonam Tamil Nadu were killed by members of the dominant one-year community on April 7th, a day after the Tamil Nadu Assembly elections. Three other members of the Dalit community, who are also injured in the incident, are now admitted in a hospital as their condition is critical. News click presents a report from Ranipehte. Soganur village is around 13 km from Arakonam railway station. On our way, we observed that the entire way to the village was filled with policemen. We met the relatives of one of the murdered Dalit youth Arjunan along with other villagers. The villagers gathered in the village to catch the children. Arjunan and his friends gathered in the village to catch the children. The whole village was filled with police officers. The police officers were not to be killed in the event of the incident. The police officers were not to be killed in the event of the incident. Arjunan's father was in the police office. His name was Paani. He was a member of the Dalit community. They would not let us come to the temple without a helmet. They would not let us come to our temple without a helmet and a helmet. They were trying to get us from here to the nearby temple. They were trying to get us to the temple again. They tried to make us come to the temple and put them in the way. We have been sitting here for four days. We didn't go anywhere. If we had been sitting here, we wouldn't have been in a good mood. We were thinking about what the government is doing now. We are going to get a wife and go home. We can't say anything. We can't go up. We have been sitting here for 30 years. We don't have enough time. Some fights are taking place. The police are calling us and comforting us. They are making a compromise. Now, there is a huge problem. This is the first time in our country that there are two villages. We have to take care of them. We have to take care of them. We have to take care of them. Two villages died today. There is no one to comfort them. No one is going to see them today. We have been fighting for four days. We got a good solution through DRV. In other villages, they will fight for 24 hours. We have been fighting for four days. We didn't go to the road without drinking water. We didn't go to the government. They supported us. Now, we need a solution. In the neighbouring village, Perumal Rajapetai. They are from the Vaniyar community. We are from Dalit community. When women come here, they don't have any protection. They don't have any protection. Three or four days ago, we were looking for a job without living. We had a problem there. When we put the second shift there, they didn't reach there at one o'clock. When they came back, they made two villas. They were getting married. When they got married, we were scared of Dalit people. There have been protests across the area for the last four days, demanding appropriate compensation for the victims' family and demanding legal action against the accused. People also refused to receive the dead bodies of Arjunan and Surya. Following continuous talks with government officials, Polis have arrested six people involved in the incident after four days. According to the claims of the villagers, those involved in the murder belong to the ruling AI-ADMK party and its ally, the Patali Makkal Karchi, PMK. They have been involved in antisocial activities in these areas using their political influence and the Polis have refused to take up any complaints against them. The State Secretary of Communist Party of India, Marxist K. Balakrishnan, met the family members of the slain and injured Dalit youths. Newsclick also spoke with him about the incident. This is a very shocking incident. Those youths are only 26, 24 years old. Their young women, wives are widows. Only three-month-old child has lost his father. So, on behalf of the Communist Party of India, Marxist K. Balakrishnan strongly condemned the caste atrocities let loosened by the casteist forces against these Dalit youths. Our party demanded that immediately the police should arrest all the concerned persons. They arrested only six persons. But more persons were involved in that atrocity. So, immediately everybody involved in those affairs should be arrested immediately. Moreover, like these caste atrocity offenses, in most of the cases during the trial time, the accused are let free. They have been acquitted by the court because the police is not handling the case properly. The case was not properly conducted. So, moreover, the accused and the police are in collusion with each other. They are dragging on the cases for more than 10 years. So, because of that delay also, the culprits are usually acquitted in these occurrences that immediately the charges should be filed within three months, 90 days, the case trial should be over. Then only the culprits cannot escape from the law. So, the police should take immediate action to conduct the cases and finalize the inquiry investigation. Moreover, on behalf of our party, we have controlled their families. We are conveying our heartfelt condolences to them. I demand the state government, Tamil Nadu state government, immediately to release 50 lakhs for each family and also a government employment for their family, for their youth's wives. Moreover, these kind of caste atrocities should not be allowed in Tamil Nadu. Tamil Nadu is one of the states which has got very good social justice, very good social reform movements, Left movement, Periyar movement, all these things. But despite all these things, these kind of caste atrocities are taking place. Innocent youths, Dalits youths are affected and they have been murdered regularly. This kind of brutal murder should not be allowed. So, all political parties, all democratic forces should come forward to condemn these kind of caste atrocities all over state to protect the downtrodden people, especially the Dalit people. All must come and shoulder the responsibility to protect the downtrodden people. This is purely a caste fanatic caste atrocity let loose and by some individuals. So, they may belong to any party. I don't feel that their party will be behind them. So, my point is even PMK and ADMK should come forward to condemn these kind of caste atrocities including all political parties. Caste-based atrocities are not new to Tamil Nadu. Particularly during the 2019 Lok Sabha elections, the state witnessed one of the worst episodes of such atrocities with the election campaign of Toul Tirumavalavan, the VCK Party leader and member of parliament from Chidambaram constituency. At that time, people belonging to the dominant non-linear community had indulged in violence in the Dalit localities. The latest incident at Arakonam following the assembly election in the state is similar to that in terms of the violence and aggression unleashed by the dominant community. Notably, Arakonam is a reserved constituency. J. Gautama Sanna of VCK is the candidate representing the secular alliance in this constituency. Youth from Soganur village were actively involved in the election campaign for Sanna. Following this, VCK leader Toul Tirumavalavan commented on his Twitter page that Dalit youths have been killed a day after the election and alleged that there are political reasons behind this. Tilagavadi, who is a social activist and advocate, shared her views with us regarding the caste discrimination and the continuous attacks on the oppressed people. This issue is brutal which has happened in recent days in Tamil Nadu especially after the elections. So the motto of the issue is the political power should not belong to the Dalits especially for the leader like Tirumavalavan he shouldn't, the candidate from his party shouldn't get succeeded in this constituency is the main motto behind this issue because the people who were murdered was in part of the campaign in support of the candidate Gautama Sanna representing VCK so that is the main motto behind this so we can see obviously how the caste politics in our election system is playing along with this in this country and we can see that the murdered people were politically active in this place they hated that nobody developed this place especially their basic needs were not fulfilled so they hated all other politicians who won this constituency so they decided that this time especially VCK candidates should win so in that point the PMK, the people who murdered this these two Dalit youngsters they belong to PMK party and they were motivated and encouraged by PMK party if it is not encouraged by PMK then why they didn't give any statement that they condemn this or they refuse the killers, the murderers doesn't belong to their party so this is especially questionable and after coming this place we can see that how the place and the houses and people are living without any basic needs especially toilets and we can see how people are struggling here in these kind of areas and I could hear some issues that even from the beginning of the schools itself there is a very strong caste rooted in this particular place that I heard from the people and the murderers were very young age they were not very old and all they are very young and the caste ideologies are very strongly inserted in their minds so it is very threat to Tamil Nadu that this kind of things is happening in our Tamil Nadu and we are wondering how this elections will be changing the people and their standards especially Dalit communities so this has to be investigated and justice has to be given to the people who are murdered in this brutal issues it is not a very unique thing in Tamil Nadu the people who especially murdered Dalit people or Dalit women who got raped and murdered it is very usual in Tamil Nadu the filing FIR and filing a case is very delayed because it is what happening so they have a lot of political and caste pressure over them because they don't want to take it up they are waiting whether if someone comes and making issue and if so if someone big political people or big organizations come and come and urge on them then only they can file FIR and they can put cases on them and that too the cases FIR they are filing is a very very minimal cases not minimal sections not actual appropriate sections are not filed on them so in this issue also the police were waiting whether some political parties are coming or urging us or it is becoming issue through media everything they were waiting and watching once it is become hot in Tamil Nadu then they are filing the case in a very delayed so it is not it is not legal so after the two people were murdered it was lost of lives it is very important very crucial then they didn't file any FIR immediately so they were waiting and they were politically urged they were given privilege by the upper caste I mean the dominating caste people so it is very obvious that is how it works that is how the system works in the government we have to get justice for this girl they have to take the punishment for all of us there should be no more fights we should not go to life they should not fight that is what we need they have to get justice they should not hold hands and never go to life this 21st century should be a place for all of us because today we have 1000 families here 1000 families in this area there are such fights more than this there are 30 families in small villages how many fights will take place the government should remember because we are women here there is no education but there are some but today everyone is standing this is the reason this caste this problem should be solved in the future we have to get justice for the government for the government the fear the fear we have to live in this community we have to live like everyone else
