In the news reports that were published in the major English dailies the next day, the fact that the victims were Dalits was not highlighted at all. It wasn’t part of the headline, while the body had an insignificant mention like in the online report of the Hindustan Times. The sections of the national press which were simmering with reports of alleged violence against Dalits in Saharanpur district of UP last week suddenly chose to downplay the molestation of two Dalit women because the perpetrators weren’t useful for the kind of outrage they seek. The religion of molesters certainly didn’t suit the script of a possible headline which would have been different if the perpetrators were upper caste men- ‘Dalit women molested, filmed and shamed online’. Somehow the Bhim Sena activists also thought that the religious profile of the molesters isn’t going to earn them the brownie points they need in early stages of their political career.
