Even the devils would have wept watching this ghastly rape case of an 11-year-old deaf and mute Dalit girl of Rampur in Uttar Pradesh. The poor, innocent child who is deaf and mute suffered unprecedented brutality at the hands of the perpetrators. She was brutally raped, leaving her badly injured with cigarette burns and bite marks on her genitalia. Her traumatized state and clothes soaked in blood give an image of unimaginable brutality.

The constant atrocities on marginalized groups, particularly Dalits and women, point to a deep-seated disease. When will there be justice and basic human decency?
