The ill treatment for the poor!


Carrying bodies, tribal women lead protests against cops - 
Bastar has seen several protests but rarely have tribal women come out and beat their breasts, shouting slogans. Surprisingly, men tried to calm them down, pull them away but these women continued to scream and hurled stones at the Gangalur police station and nearby CRPF camp.
Old and young women were protesting while carrying bodies of their husbands and sons, handed over to them around 1 pm on Sunday. They knew only Gondi and Halbi but managed a few Hindi abuses. "Wapas jao... wapas jao..," they shouted at the CRPF camp as they laid down the bodies at the thana gate and tried to break open its lock. Two old women rattled barbed fencing of the CRPF camps and threw stones at the personnel on guard, forcing them to run for cover. "Raman Sarkar murdabaad, murdaabaad." Some of them hurled utensils inside the thana. "Stop killing tribals; kill us now, if you dare."
All the deceased were men; two of them father and sons — Karam Joga and his son Badru (13), Karam Pandu and his son Guddu (14). The other minor boy killed was Punem Lakhu (15).
The agony did not end with their death. The bodies were lying in open field, under 45 degree sun, decomposing, badly swollen and emanating unbearable smell. CRPF men, face covered, guarded them with X-95, AK-47 with an Under Barrel Grenade Launcher.
"Jara pet par chira laga," a doctor said. He too had his face covered. A man, Suklu, came forward and cut open a naked body. Red worms protruded out from stomach. "Dead bodies become like balloon. When you cut them, they produce fart like sound," a CRPF cop explained. Relatives of the deceased held the bodies as the doctor examined the bodies with a stick, from a distance.
"Don't you have another blade, a new one," Civil Surgeon Dr B R Pujari asked his colleagues. Only two blades were used so far, and five bodies had been cut open from various sides, the doctor thought of changing the blade. But there was none. Suklu did not change surgical gloves through the process.

This is the country we are living in. Where poor are always misguided, misleaded, mistreated in all aspects of their life...
Sharing one of my sad and aggressive experience in my life -
Our old office was located in a residence, where the owners reside in the ground floor and our office in the first floor. One day I saw a huge gathering in front of the gate. I asked the security guard about the crowd gathering. "There is a huge building adjacent under construction owned by our building owner. Yesterday evening, a labourer had drank became unconscious and fell into the water tank. The labour sunk into the water and died! His family noticed the body in the night and approached the building owner. But the owner was not ready to take out the body until morning. Therefore, the whole family is waiting in front of the gate the whole night" he explained. The wife of the deceased was clueless, she was dumb and saturated, seeing at the sight I busted into tears, couldn't control my anger. The owner of the building has no humanity, didn't permit them to take out the body of the labourer immediately! He made the whole family wait in front of his gate.He is the worst man in the world I have ever seen. Though I was in anger, my aggressiveness didn't help them anyway; as I didn't dare to talk to the building owner :(
People from backward classes are suppressed by the high class people or officials all the time since post independence.They can't even treat them as animals.
