Haryana Assembly Polls: Dalits live in fear in Mirchpur, have no hopes from any party
Mirchpur: As Haryana is going to polls on October 15, caste factor continue to play a crucial role in the state politics. Dalits make up 20 per cent of Haryana's population, above the national average of 16 per cent, but social and political clout still remains with the Jats.
In 2010, a Dalit family in Mirchpur was set ablaze just because their dog bit a member of the Jat community. The Jats set a physically challenged girl Suman and her father Tara Chand on fire along with several Dalit homes. Even after four year, Mirchpur remains tense.
