The mainstream media will never give due importance to incidents like this because of obvious factors. I know now few of them are reporting this , but that is just to appease the public . There is no use now as the body is cremated .
When Nirbhaya incident happened , entire India protested , the most tweeted hashtags was of justice for Nirbhaya , entire India came on streets to protest , after few years another rape incident which got similar coverage is Hyderabad rape incident. Everyday we read rape incidents , sexual violence against dalits in the 2nd or 3rd page of our newspaper , usually the spot which go unnoticed. The civil society and media is least interested in the atrocities against dalits. The caste, creed, locality all matters , if the incident happened in metros or cities and the victim is middle class or upper class girl it is easy for people to relate with it . Somewhere we normalise the sexual violence against dalit women because we have the impression that it is their fate to go through this hardships .The dalit rape is not just imposing male superiority but caste superiority as well.
I wish atleast one of the mainstream media give extensive coverage , half importance like "justice for Sushant " , it is high time to sensitize this issue. Otherwise just like they cremated the body of hathras gangrape victim girl ignoring the protest of parents that too in the presence of police many dalits girls body will be buried .
