A Dalit groom’s community baarat (wedding procession) was conducted under heavy security in Rajasthan’s Govinddaspur village of Jhunjhunu district following a series of threats from local upper-caste communities.

The authorities arranged security for the Dalit groom Rakesh’s baarat, deploying over 60 personnel from the Quick Reaction Team and local police forces to ensure a safe wedding environment, highlighting critical challenges the Dalit community faces in asserting their basic rights.
