Why the protest
The community took to protests after the gang rape and murder of a Maratha girl by Dalit youths in Kopardi (Ahmednagar) last July. They complained that whenever they tried to complain against such crimes by Dalits, they were threatened with the Scheduled Castes and Scheduled Tribes (Prevention of Atrocities) Act, 1989. They want action on the accused, and a review of the law. The community is also miffed that even though it was granted job and education quotas by the Congress-NCP regime, the reservation didn't hold up in court. The Mumbai march (58th) will be the last in this series of protests. Those in Aurangabad, Osmanabad, Jalgaon, Beed and Parbhani witnessed participation of up to 5 lakh people.
