    Dalits have been attacked and killed by the oppressor uppercastes for

    no reason than because the criminals wanted to. I find it important to use words carefully, because there is never a reason beyond hate and wanting to feel superior. To mention what the attackers pretend was the reason is blaming what happened on the victims and accepting the attackers made up defense for their actions. If repeated often enough it will stick with people’s minds as an actual reason.
