Hyderabad: A case has been registered gainst prominent Dalit writer Kancha Ilaiah for allegedly hurting religious feelings AND sentiments of the the Arya Vysya community through his book ‘Samajika Smugglurlu Komatollu’.
The case was filed by a 22-year-old student who approached a local court stating that the book had hurt the religious feelings of all Hindu communities, Dalits and others apart from the Arya Vysya community.
Protests and demonstrations were being held by Arya Vysya community from last month across Telangana against Ilaiah.
The writer had last month filed a police complaint alleging that four people attacked his vehicle at Parkal in Warangal and tried to kill him.
The alleged attack had sparked tension between Arya Vysyas and Dalits who came face to face. However, the police had then averted any escalation of the issue by dispersing the groups.
The community is angry at Mr Ilaiah over his book and are demanding apology from the writer, an official had earlier said.
