A Dalit man in Uttar Pradesh has won his fight for equality. Sanjay Jatav, a 27-year-old student in Aligarh, was locked in a fight with so-called upper caste Thakurs and the district administration in Uttar Pradesh’s Kasganj, to reach the wedding venue in a baaraat or a marriage procession, a staple to every Indian wedding.
The district administration had earlier refused to let Sanjay reach venue in a procession because of the opposition.
The authorities have finally changed their mind.
The Kasganj administration held a meeting with the two sides and played mediator to sort out the issue. They convinced the Thakurs to let the groom’s procession pass by their homes.
“The route that the procession would take was negotiated and sealed. Ditto for the conditions that the procession would comply with to ensure that there is no breach of peace”, says NDTV.Click Here: United Kingdom Rugby Jerseys
