Atrocities against Dalits are taking place regularly across India. Here's a snapshot
December 25, 1968
The Keezhvenmani Massacre
It originally began as a labour dispute between upper caste landowning communities and Dalit agricultural labourers in Keezhvenmani village in Nagapattinam district of Tamil Nadu who were demanding higher wages. Soon, the upper caste people got annoyed by the belligerent change in the attitude of the Dalits, who were now supported by the Communists. On December 25, 1968, 44 Dalits, including 16 women, 23 children and five men, were burnt to death by their landlords. But it was more than a caste clash. “Politics, caste and class issues are so inextricably intertwined that it is impossible to know where one ends and another begins. But at its core, it is a gruesome reminder of the treatment that is meted out to the oppressed when they start demanding what is rightfully theirs,” says Nithila Kanagasabai in her paper titled The Din of Silence: Reconstructing the Keezhvenmani Dalit Massacre.

The term 'ethnicity' has always been a murky concept for me. It would not be a stretch to claim that I have always felt considerably estranged from culture itself, like a balloon left adrift in the air, floating in limbo, unknowing of its origin and destination.

Anatomy of a Horror
In September 2025, survivor Marina Lacerda stood before the US Capitol and spoke publicly about Jeffrey Epstein for the first time. Her story, along with the account of Haley Robson, echoed the trajectory of many other victims, revealing a pattern of grooming, coercion and silence that endured for decades, and raising uncomfortable questions about power, accountability and whether justice has truly been served to Epstein's victims

The Audience is Present
Marina Abramović's work is active, alive and pressingly contemporary. At an uncannily youthful 79, she exudes an intimidating calm, despite the brutal images she guided us through at her lecture on the history of performance art last week at the Kochi-Muziris Biennale-from live fireworks against a man's leg to an eyeball being sliced open
