based on an atrocity in a village called Khairlanji, India.
In Sept 2008 six persons were sentenced to death and two for life imprisonment for the killings.
A poor family of outcastes had some small land-holding. The 17 year
old daughter and her two brothers [21 and 23] were educated in school
and college though, a rarity for such lowest caste people in rural
India.
There was a lot of long-time resentment of the higher castes in the
village against the 'prosperity' of the family.
It came to a boil on Sept 29, 2006. Except the father who was out of
the house, rest four were attacked in their house, women stripped and
paraded naked in the village, then gang-raped and killed. The brothers
were also killed. Bodies were thrown in a canal.The entire village
including women participated in this atrocity.
There was a lot of cover-up effort but the popular protests forced
an investigation.
