23-Year-Old Man Thrashed & Forced To Shave Off Moustache For Using ‘Sinh’ In His Name In Gujarat

In another glaring display of deep-rooted caste bias, a 23-year-old man was beaten up and forced to shave off his moustache by upper caste people in a village near Palanpur.

The victim, Ranjit Thakor, invited the wrath of the upper caste members after he suffixed ‘Sinh’ with his name in the invitation cards of a religious ceremony scheduled on June 4. On Wednesday, police arrested one of the two persons named in the complaint lodged by Thakor.

Thakor was subjected to the ordeal on May 27 when he went to distribute the cards of his babri (hair removing ceremony) in Gaud village near Palanpur. Around 15 Rajput men noticed that he had used ‘Sinh’ with his name and picked up a fight with him.
