On the 17 July 1985, a horrific incident took place in the village of Karamchedu, Andhra Pradesh, an incident that would forever alter the lives of Dalits in the region. The police described it as a ‘riot,’ but what unfolded was a cold-blooded massacre of Dalit men and women by a group of upper-caste Kammas, armed with axes, sticks, and spears. While forty years have passed, the Karamchedu Massacre remains a stark reminder of the brutal caste system that continues to plague India.
