Some years ago, a teacher in a government school gouged out the eye of a 5 year old Dalit girl for drinking water from a glass that was meant for high caste students at a government school in Thanjavur district. The teacher belonged to the Mudaliar caste which is higher than the Dalits. The state government did not prosecute him because of a huge uproar by the teachers' unions in Tamilnadu. I wrote about this injustice in "The Modern Rationalist" at the time and several leading personalities in the state spoke about it, but the culprit was never punished. This was a most glaring incident but there have been other less prominent ones. Sadly, one can no longer expect justice for discriminated castes even in the South of India."
