In many ways, the anger among Dalits is no different from the anger among farmers and youth. The Dalit protest was not for a specific demand but to express general anger against the government. Surprising also because the Narendra Modi-led National Democratic Alliance (NDA) government came on the support of a significant sections of Dalits. But this has not led to any decline in attacks on Dalits engaged in the cattle trade or leather work. In many ways the anger among Dalits is no different from the anger among farmers and youth.
