Koppal: In a troubling instance of caste-based discrimination, barber shops in Muddaballi village, located about 7 kilometers from Koppal district headquarters, have reportedly shut their doors after members of the Dalit community sought their services.
Reports of barbers refusing to serve Dalit men surfaced two months ago. It was only after police warned them of punishment under laws against untouchability that the barbers reluctantly agreed to provide services to Dalit customers, as reported by Deccan Herald on Wednesday.
However, it is now reported that the barbers have resumed discriminatory practices, selectively visiting homes of customers from other communities while deliberately avoiding Dalit households.
As a result, Dalit men of Muddaballi are being forced to travel to Koppal city for basic grooming services such as haircuts and shaving, the report added.
The incident has drawn the attention of political leaders and activists, with Basavaraj Dadesaguru, president of the BJP’s Koppal district unit, criticising the state government for its apparent apathy toward the struggles faced by Dalits.
