In the Teeth of Decay of Bourgeois Democracy, Reactionary Casteist Violence Haunts Saharanpur

- Ashish Devrari/ 4.6.2017

Saharanpur region in Uttar Pradesh breathed heavy in the throes of the casteist violence and prevailing tension as it geared up for upcoming municipal polls.

For long, Saharanpur has been the venue for communal violence and riots engineered by the stakeholders in the political establishment. However, the caste based feuds are a bit new to the region.

The malignant violence is part of the horrors of capitalism, the one generated out of its putrefaction.

Escalating cut-throat rivalries among bourgeois leaders and parties vying against each other to capture the power by hook or by crook, lurk as ever, behind the fresh spate of sectarian violence.
