Protest against deaths in alleged caste attack

(21 Oct 2015) A baby and a toddler have been killed in a house fire allegedly set by their family's upper caste neighbors, and on Wednesday hundreds of angry residents placed the children's bodies on a key highway near the Indian capital to demand the attackers be arrested. The two-and-a-half year-old and nine-month old were sleeping when the attackers poured petrol and set the house on fire in Sunpedh village on Monday night. The children died while their mother was in critical condition, police said. The father was injured as he tried to break down the locked door of the house. Police said there was long-standing enmity between the castes since three upper caste men were killed last year. Caste discrimination was outlawed soon after India's independence from Britain in 1947 but persists in Indian society. Disputes between different castes are a common cause of violence.
