In Gujarat, dalit cop gets police cover to ride horse in his wedding

古吉拉特邦达利特警察获警方维护秩序，在婚礼上骑马

PALANPUR: This was no ordinary baraat. Over 200 people including, executive magistrate including senior officers, were part of a Dalit man's wedding procession in Sitwada village of Sabarkantha’s Prantij taluka on Friday.

帕兰普尔: 这不是一场普通的婚礼，超过200人，包括地方执法官在内的高级官员，参加了周五在萨巴尔坎塔Sitwada村举行的某达利特男子的婚礼游行。

But most cops were not baraatis. In fact, they were providing a security cover to the groom Sanjay Rathod, 27, who rode on a horse in his marriage procession. Rathod himself is a police constable at Jadhar police station in Idar taluka, but his relatives and other community members were extremely wary about earning the wrath of upper caste members in the village.

这些警察是在为27岁的新郎桑杰·拉托德提供安全保障。这位新郎要在婚礼游行上骑马。拉托德是一名警官，其亲戚和其他社区成员生怕此举会惹怒村里的高种姓人士。

“The upper caste people of the village had warned me not to take out procession on a horse. Late on Thursday night, the electricity suddenly got snapped and the guests got frightened thinking some people may be trying to obstruct the celebrations. Some informed the police and team of cops rushed to the village. At the end, I was able to take out the procession peacefully under security cover,” Rathod told TOI.

拉托德告诉《印度时报》：“村里的高种姓警告过我，不要骑马游行。周四晚上，电力突然中断，宾客们担心有人阻挠婚礼庆典。一些宾客通知了警方，一队警察赶到村里。最后，在他们的维持下，我顺利完成了游行。”

Sub divisional officer, Prantij, Sonalba Padheriya said, “The family apprehended trouble and sought police protection.” Ranjit Rathod, husband of sarpanch Ramaba, added that some villagers had earlier asked the Dalit family not to take out the wedding procession.

这家人担心会有麻烦，向警方寻求保护。拉托德说，早些时候，一些村民要求达利特不得举行婚礼游行。

There were around 150 policemen including police inspectors, sub-inspectors, walking along with the groom riding on the horse. The police contingent will camp in the village till the celebrations end, said KS Brahmbhatt, police inspector, Prantij.

大约有150名警察，包括巡警、副巡警，随骑在马上的新郎一起游行。Prantij督察称，警察特遣队将在村里扎营，婚礼结束才离开

The development comes just a day day after five persons including sarpanch and deputy sarpanch of Lhor village near Kadi in Mehsana were arrested for announcing boycott of Dalit families after a groom from the community decide to ride horse on his wedding.

就在一天前，包括迈哈萨纳卡迪附近Lhor村村长和副村长在内的五人因宣布抵制达利特家庭而被捕，此前该社区的一名新郎决定在婚礼上骑马。

Time is always forwarding, change yourself otherwise will be wiped out. Rajput of this region, remember your small kingdoms vanished in 1947, now you are ordinary citizen, behave like ordinary people. Today SC/ST community are educated and working, no logic in suppressing.

时代在进步，如果不改变自己，你就会被淘汰。这个地区的拉吉普特人要记住，你们的小王国在1947年就消亡了，现在你们就是普通公民，要像普通人一样行事。如今的低种姓是有文化的，没理由受压迫。

I don't understand why these so called upper cast morons are so obsessed by the horses. In this new era grooms can come in BMWs and helicopters also. Who are these people to decide what the groom ride? Just because of these morons acts the rest of India suffers.

我不明白为什么这些所谓的高种姓傻子会对人家骑马这么纠结。在这个新时代，新郎可以坐宝马或者直升机去迎亲。这些人凭什么决定新郎应该选择什么交通工具?

Terrible that humans will treat fellow humans in this despicable manner in this village! The groom was influential and thus got the protection he deserved, but what about ordinary people? Hope that the couple stays safe after the revelries are over.

这个村子里的人竟然如此卑劣地对待自己村里的人，太可怕了!新郎有背景，因此得到了应得的保护，但是普通人呢?希望这对新人在狂欢结束后也能平安度日。

what a story...in Modi's Gujarat even a Dalit Police constable needs police protection for his life then imagine what suffering normal dalits, OBCs, Minorities, SC/ ST will be facing for daily survival...

这都什么事儿啊……在莫迪的古吉拉特邦，即使是一个达利特警察也需要警察保护，可想而知，普通达利特人、落后阶层、少数族裔、表列种姓/部落要怎么生存…

Religion, Caste and Regionalism are the three PILLARS of Indian society. Everything revolves around these. Even in YOUR home..! Only in India, the majority of the people are born inferior to others. That is the "RICH CULTURE" of India!

宗教、种姓和地方主义是印度社会的三大支柱。一切都围绕着这3点，甚至在你自己家里也是…!只有在印度，大多数人生来就不如别人，这就是印度的“文化”!

Fossil By Then • 23 hours ago

Of course! ONLY IN INDIA a handful are born superior and the rest are inferior. What beautiful, intelligent, well-meaning tradition and CULTURE! Waah Waah! In the name of "culture" animals have a better life in that hideous place..!

只有在印度，少数人天生高人一等，其余的人则低人一等。多好的传统文化啊!!，在这个可怕的地方，人活得还不如动物呢。

These are done for show off today and it is politically motivated, As if, if he did not take a ride on Horse his marriage is incomplete. Such practices dont exst in South India. North Indians are full of pomp and show. The kshatriyas of past felt it attractive to show valour by coming in horse

这都是为了炫耀，而且是出于政治动机，好像不骑马，他的婚姻就不完美一样。印度南部并不存在这种做法。北印度人虚荣心很强，觉得骑马可以显示自己很勇猛。

Indian • 1 day ago

not valour, that was the only available transport those days. they had no choice. such meaningless traditional should be stopped potrivit.

不是为了显示勇猛，早年马是唯一可用的交通工具。他们别无选择，这种毫无意义的传统应该取消。
