Dalit youth alleges he was forced to eat human excreta

Dindigul (TN), Jan 14 (PTI) In a shocking case of caste
discrimination, a dalit has alleged that he was forced to eat
human faeces by a group of 'high caste Christians' for walking
with chappals in their street in the district.

The dalit youth, in his complaint to Batalagundu police
inspector, said "a group of high caste Christians forced human
faeces into my mouth after beating me for walking with
chappals in their street".
Sadayandi, who is from Indhira Nagar in Meikovilpatti in
Dindigul district, located in southern Indian state of Tamil
Nadu claimed the incident occurred on January 7 when a group
of more than 10 'caste christians' stopped him and asked if he
was not aware of the "order" that dalits should not walk with
chappals in their street. Then they asked him to remove his
chappals and slapped him with it, he said.
"One of them suggested that I should be fed human
excreta. Immediately one person brought the excreta in a stick
and thrust it into my mouth," he alleged, adding the excreta
was applied all over his face.
"In fact I wanted to commit suicide unable to bear the
shame. But my relatives prevented me from doing so," he said.
Police said the youth has named Arockiasamy, David,
Selvendran, Kennery, Kannadasan, Peter and Anbu in his
complaint. (More) PTI COR
