"Khairlanji: The Night Caste Hatred Showed Its True Face"

On the night of September 29, 2006, a remote village in Maharashtra became the scene of one of the most brutal caste-based atrocities in modern India. Bhaiyyalal Bhotmange’s family—his wife Surekha, daughter Priyanka, and sons Roshan and Sudhir—were stripped, paraded, tortured, raped, and lynched in front of the entire village. Their only crime? Being Dalit and daring to fight for their rights.

This episode of Dalit Weekly dives deep into the unspoken horrors of Khairlanji, piecing together the cover-ups, the systemic failures, and the disturbing silence that followed.

🔴 How did the mob justify their bloodlust?

Why did local police and politicians suppress the case?

How did the legal system fail in delivering full justice?

🛑 What does this massacre reveal about caste-based brutality in India?

Featuring eyewitness accounts, forensic details, media manipulation, and the voices that refuse to be silenced, this episode is a chilling, fact-based retelling of a crime that should have shaken the nation—but was instead buried.
