Summary:
NEW DELHI: The stretch between Jhandewalan and Ramlila Maidan in central Delhi turned into a sea of blue as thousands of Dalits from various parts of the country hit the streets of the city on Wednesday to protest the recent demolition of a Ravidas Mandir in the national capital. The Delhi Development Authority (DDA) had demolished the temple on August 10 on the orders of the Supreme Court. The protest in Delhi came a week after a similar protest of Dalits in Punjab on August 13 over the issue. Gautam said their fight is against the injustice meted out to the community and not against the Supreme Court order. V P Singh, 60, from Ghaziabad said thousands of religious structures have come up on government and forest land..
