6. Read the following news item.

Like many others, this village has also been facing a severe water shortage for the last few months and villagers depend on tankers for all their needs. Bhagvan Mahadeo Lad (35) of this village was beaten with sticks, iron rods and axes by a group of seven men. The incident came to light when some villagers bought a badly injured Lad to the hospital for treatment. In the FIR, recorded by the police Lad said that he was attacked when he insisted that the water in the tanker must be emptied into the storage tank constructed as part of water supply scheme by Nimon Gram Panchayat so that there would be an equal distribution of water. However, he alleged that the upper caste men were against this and told him that the tanker water was not meant for the lower castes.

Adapted from Indian Express, May 1, 2004.

a. Why was Bhagavan beaten?
b. Do you think the above is a case of discrimination? Why?

Answer: a. There was an acute water shortage in Nimon village and the villagers had to depend on tankers for their needs. So when the tanker came in the village, Bhagvan insisted that the water in the tanker must be emptied into storage tanks constructed as part of the water supply programme by Nimon Gram Panchayat so that there would be an equal distribution of water. But the upper caste men were against this and therefore they beat Bhagavan to suppress his demand.
b. Yes, it is a clear-cut case of discrimination as the higher cast people do not want to give comfort to the lower caste people. They also want to deny the lower caste people even the basic need for drinking water.
