在警察的护卫下，达利特新郎才得以骑马游行

Dalit groom in Uttar Pradesh rides horse amid police security

北方邦：达利特新郎在警察的护卫下骑马游行

MEERUT: A Dalit groom in Meerut who had alleged threats from upper caste men in his village was able to ride a horse during his wedding procession on Friday after police provided him security. The family breathed a sigh of relief as the 'ghudchadi' ceremony — in which the groom initiates the baraat on his horse — passed without incident and the procession made its way to the bride’s village nearby.

密拉特：密拉特的一名达利特新郎据称受到村里高种姓男子的威胁，在警方的保护下，他在周五的婚礼上才得以骑马游行。在“ghudchadi”仪式上，新郎骑着马开始baraat，婚礼平安无事举地行，队伍向附近新娘所在的村庄前进，这让家人松了一口气。

Earlier on Thursday, Mangeram, father of the groom, had approached Sardhana thana in his village of Maanpuri and alleged that an upper caste family had threatened “to kill his son, Sooraj, if he dared to ride a horse”. The family had then sought police cover, citing previous incidents where Dalit youths had been stopped from riding a horse in their village.

周四早，新郎的父亲Mangeram找到Sardhana thana，声称一个高种姓家庭威胁“如果他的儿子Sooraj敢骑马，就杀了他”。这家人随后寻求警方的庇护，称之前发生过达利特青年在村里骑马被阻止的事件。

Following the complaint, a police team led by station house officer (Sardhana) Brijesh Kumar visited the accused Thakur family on Friday. “The family told us that they had not objected to the groom riding a horse, but had asked them to switch off the music while passing their house as they were in mourning after a family member passed away recently,” said the SHO.

在接到投诉之后，一个由警官布里杰什·库马尔领导的警察小组周五去了被指控的塔库尔家里。“那个家庭告诉我们，他们没有反对新郎骑马，但要求他们在经过他们的房子时关掉音乐，因为他们最近有一个家庭成员去世了。”

While initially police seemed to have downplayed the conflict, by evening three policemen were deployed at the groom’s house. At the time of filing this report, the groom’s wedding procession was moving towards the wedding venue in the nearby village.

虽然警方起初似乎轻视这场冲突，但到晚上，新郎家已经部署了三名警察。在提交这份报告的时候，新郎的婚礼队伍正在向附近村庄的婚礼场地行进。

Brother of the groom, Ankit, told TOI that caste-based violence had happened in the region previously. “The same family had thrashed us earlier when we were building our house and were using the road to keep construction material. The upper castes have objected to our festivities many times,” he said.

新郎的兄弟Ankit告诉《印度时报》，种姓暴力事件以前在该地区发生过。“早些时候，当我们在盖房子，在路边放建筑材料时，这个家庭曾把我们打得够呛。高种姓已经多次反对我们的庆祝活动。

Dalit weddings have often been interrupted by upper castes over grooms from the community riding a horse or taking their baraat through public spaces.

由于新郎骑马会穿过公共区域，达利特的婚礼经常被高种姓打断。

They request to low down the celebration as they were mourning.. Anyone would have done it out of kindness. Media is just trying to sensationalize it.
