Kathmandu, Jun 12 (EFE/EPA).- Nepal has been witnessing unprecedented public anger against abuse faced by Dalits or the so-called untouchables, who form the lowest strata of the Hindu caste system, after a young man from this community and five of his friends were beaten to death for falling in love with a girl belonging to a "higher" caste.The conservative Himalayan country, where ancient caste-based discrimination has continued despite laws to prevent such abuse, has not turned a blind eye to this most recent crime against Dalits, who are often subjected to dehumanization.A five-member investigation team from the Provincial Assembly of Karnali, a region in western Nepal where the incident occurred on May 23, concluded that the killings were a result of an affair between the Dalit boy and an upper caste girl.
