AHMEDABAD: At least 45 members of Sarvaiya family, whose four sons had been flogged by self-styled cow vigilantes, renounced Hinduism and embraced Buddhism at a ceremony in Mota Samadhiyala, 15km from Una, on Sunday.

艾哈迈达巴德：因家族里有4个孩子遭到了自称护牛义警的鞭笞，周日，萨瓦亚家族至少45名的成员在距Una 15公里的Mota Samadhiyala宣布放弃印度教，改为信奉佛教。

The family members included the four flogging victims, their wives, father Balu Sarvaiya and his wife, among others.

家庭成员包括四名受害者，他们的妻子，父亲Balu Sarvaiya和父亲妻子，还有其他人。

“It has been more than two years that our sons were flogged. The state government hasn’t given us any help so far. We haven’t got justice yet and all the accused are out on bail,” Balu Sarvaiya, the victims’ father, told TOI over phone.

受害者的父亲Balu Sarvaiya在电话中告诉印度时报，“我孩子被打2年多了。到目前为止，邦政府还没有给我们任何帮助。我们还没有得到公正，所有被告都被保释了。”

“After the incident, there was Dalit uprising. But we continued to face discrimination. Even our own community members told us not to adhere to a religion after tolerating humiliations. Even today, we shudder to see the flogging video,” Sarvaiya added.

萨瓦亚补充道，“事情发生后，达利特人爆发起义。我们仍然受歧视。甚至我们自己的社区成员也告诉我们，在忍受羞辱之后，不要坚持宗教信仰。直到今天，我们看到鞭笞的视频还会不寒而栗。”

Some 300 Dalits including family members of Una flogging victims, embrace Buddhism.

大约300名达利特人，包括Una鞭笞受害者，改为信奉佛教。

The July 2016 Una flogging had triggered widespread outrage and left the Dalit community fuming.

2016年7月的Una鞭笞引发了广泛的愤慨，使达利特社区非常愤怒。

Sarvaiya said he and his family members had to take up skng dead cattle due to deep caste system. “We have been forced to convert on Sunday. We believe it will give further momentum to Dalit uprising. Other Dalits, who are facing tortures, will eventually have to embrace Buddhism,” he said.

“我们不得不在周日改变宗教信仰。我们相信这将进一步推动达利特人的起义。其他正受折磨的达利特人，最终将只能信奉佛教。”

No prominent Dalit leaders, such as Vadgam MLA Jignesh Mewani, were present at the event — Dhamma Diksha Mahotsav — organised by the Sarvaiya family. They had announced renouncing Hinduism in January. The Sarvaiyas had invited Mewani and BSP chief Mayawati to the event.

没有达利特领袖出席萨瓦亚家族的活动。萨瓦亚家族1月份宣布放弃印度教。萨瓦亚家族邀请了Mewani和大众社会党党首玛雅瓦蒂参加这个活动。
