“They have got more than 100 licenses. No other community is given the license. If there is a fight, then both sides are scared,” a local member from the Jat community Master Dayananad said. According to him, a fight between “children” is being given casteist colour by the administration and the Dalit community. “They are using it to gain benefit from the government. They are leaving because they are given huge grants. In 2010, they were given Rs 25 lakh. Even now, the nine families will get Rs 1 lakh,” he said. Only the family of Tara Chand was given a reimbursement sum of Rs 25 lakh. Other victims were given Rs 1 lakh. That the bulk of the Dalit families also left Mirchpur after the 2010 episode is a detail that Dayanand doesn’t dwell upon.
