【印度真相】种姓歧视+轮奸+谋杀，再度引爆印度民愤！_风闻

以下图文来自美媒CNN的报道（9/30）：来自达利特社区的印度妇女因轮奸而死亡

地方当局说，印度北部北方邦达利特人社区的一名19岁妇女周二死亡，事发在据称她被上等种姓男子强奸和勒颈导致窒息的两周后。

Hathras地区警察局长Vikrant Vir在推特上发布的声明中说，事件于9月14日发生。受害者首先被送进北方邦的一家医院，后来因受伤严重而被转移到新德里。

根据哈斯拉斯的警方称，有四名男子因强奸和谋杀被捕，调查正在进行中。

声明说，这四名男子均来自较高的种姓，并已根据法律被指控犯有侵害少数民族罪。

在印度基于种姓的等级制度中，达利特人-排名最低，过去曾被称为“贱民”-遭受严重歧视。印度的种姓制度在1950年被正式废除了，但在生活中的许多方面仍然存在着由2000年的社会等级制度决定的分娩制度。种姓制度对印度教徒进行了分类，定义了他们在社会中的地位，他们可以从事的工作以及可以嫁给谁。

印度主要反对党国会党的高级领导人拉胡尔·甘地（Rahul Gandhi）在推特上说：“北方邦的“特定阶级”统治该土地杀害了另一名妇女。政府说这是假新闻，并让受害者丧生。受害人的死亡和政府的冷漠-这些都不是假新闻。”

上个月，一名13岁的达利特女孩在北方邦遭到强奸和谋杀。去年，据称有两个达利特儿童在露天排便后被殴打致死。 2018年，该国南部一名来自较低种姓的13岁女孩在该国南部被斩首，据称是一名来自较高种姓的袭击者。

争取达利特人平等权利的倡导者在德里医院外组织了一次小型集会，星期一该妇女在那儿接受治疗。

该小组的负责人钱德拉谢卡尔·阿扎德（Chandrashekhar Azad）在推特上写道：“我和受害者的家人正在萨夫达容医院外面抗议。我们将不再容忍这一点。我们将伸张正义。”

包括宝莱坞演员和职业运动员在内的许多印度名人已经利用他们的社交媒体呼吁政府采取保护妇女的政策。

根据印度国家犯罪记录局（National Crime Records Bureau）的数据，2018年的最新可用数据报告了33,000多起涉嫌强奸的案件-每天约有91起案件。但是专家说，由于性侵犯给人们带来的耻辱以及受害者所面临的阻碍他们举报袭击的社会障碍，实际人数可能更高。

A 19-year-old woman from the Dalit community in the northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh died Tuesday, two weeks after she was allegedly gang-raped and strangled by upper caste men, local authorities said.

Hathras district Police Superintendent Vikrant Vir said in a statement posted on Twitter that the incident took place on September 14. The victim was first admitted to a hospital in Uttar Pradesh and and later transferred to New Delhi due to the severity of her injuries.

Four men have been arrested and booked for rape and murder and an investigation is underway, according to the police in Hathras.

All four men were from an upper caste and have also been booked under the law for crimes against minorities, according to the statement.

In India’s caste-based hierarchy, Dalits -- who are ranked the lowest and have been referred to as “untouchables” in the past -- experience severe discrimination. India’s caste system was officially abolished in 1950, but the 2,000-year-old social hierarchy imposed on people by birth still exists in many aspects of life. The caste system categorizes Hindus at birth, defining their place in society, what jobs they can do and who they can marry.

Rahul Gandhi, a senior leader with India’s main opposition Congress Party tweeted that “Uttar Pradesh’s ‘class-specific’ rule of the land has killed another woman. The government said it was fake news and left the victim to die. This unfortunate incident, the death of the victim and the callousness of the government -- none of this is fake news.”

Last month, a 13-year-old Dalit girl was raped and murdered in Uttar Pradesh. Last year, two Dalit children were allegedly beaten to death after defecating in the open. In 2018, a 13-year-old girl from a lower caste was beheaded in the south of the country, allegedly by an assailant coming from a higher caste.

Advocates for equal rights for Dalits organized a small rally outside the Delhi hospital where the woman was being treated on Monday.

The leader of the group, Chandrashekhar Azad tweeted: “Me along with the victim’s family are protesting outside Safdarjung hospital right now. We will not tolerate this anymore. We will get justice.”

A number of Indian celebrities, including Bollywood actors and professional athletes, have used their social media to call on the government to adopt policies to protect women.

According to India’s National Crime Records Bureau, more than 33,000 cases of alleged rape were reported in the latest available figures from 2018 -- roughly 91 cases each day. But experts say that the real number is likely much higher, owing to the shame attached to sexual assault and the social barriers faced by victims that prevents them from reporting attacks.
