 The Pattern of Abuse - Broken People: Caste Violence Against India’s “Untouchables” (Human Rights Watch Report, 1999)
In Rengappanaikkanpatti Thevars vowed to make Dalits “dig pits for the burial of bodies of dominant castes.”241 The entire Dalit population of the village was later forcibly driven out, as Thevars set fire to their homes and fields.
Aside from distributing nominal amounts in compensation or promising construction of new houses, the local administration does little to ensure that the Dalits are able to return to their homes and fields, or to prosecute those responsible for the attacks.
The same pattern of destruction was apparent during a raid on Desikapuram village in Virudhunagar district in June 1997.

With the alarming death rates rising, the children of the sufferers are left with no one to care for them or offer them food, a proper education or shelter.
However, we also admit children from single-parent families, where the only opportunity for the mother is to work in the horrendous conditions of the matchstick and firework factories in the Sivakasi and Virudhunagar Districts.
Under these circumstances there is often no one to care for the children during the day so they miss out on their education and their prospect would be to follow their mothers into the grim realities of factory work.
