brought on by men who had issues with another group of men. being cowards, they took it out on the women of the opposing group. the article goes on to say it's a caste problem. i'm sure it is but the WOMEN are being singled out and raped and tortured.
Indian caste forces naked parade
By Sandeep Sahu in Bhubaneswar
Police in India have launched a manhunt for 29 men who allegedly forced a group of women to parade naked after a row over caste tradition.
Six women in a village in the eastern state of Orissa were dragged by their hair, beaten and paraded naked by a group of upper caste men.
They were attacked because the men in their families had refused to wash the feet of upper caste wedding guests.
The incident took place at Bhubanapati, 70km (44 miles) from Bhubaneswar.
The women belong to the lower barber caste. Their menfolk had refused to wash feet of upper caste Khandayats.
The washing of the feet of marriage ceremony guests according to caste is customary in the area.
One of the women victims, Tilottama Barik, says she was singled out in Monday's attack.
"I was dragged out of my home, beaten up and stripped naked by the attackers," she said.
Another victim said she was picked up from her home, detained inside a room and sexually abused for more than two hours.
Denied access
Though the victims immediately filed a complaint at the local police station, no-one has been arrested so far.
The officer in charge of the Brahmagiri police station, Dilip Kumar Tripathy, said a manhunt had been launched to arrest 29 upper caste people named in the complaint.
But he rejected the allegation of sexual assault...............
of course he rejected the sexual assault allegations. men who strip women naked and drag them around in public by their hair are NOT capable of raping those very same women. the men are gentle creatures. peaceful. i'm sure it was all the women's fault to begin with.
