Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): A Dalit sarpanch was stopped from hoisting the national flag by an upper caste Hindu teacher during the school programme on Tuesday on the occasion of 77th Independence Day.

The upper caste teacher allegedly refused to let her hoist the national flag during the school programme because she was a Dalit, according to the sarpanch (village head) of the community.

The Sarpanch's video was also posted by The Dalit Voice on Twitter (X). In the video, the school is hosting an Independence Day programme as the Sarpanch is demonstrating in front of the gate.

Another person stated that Barelal Ahirwar, a Scheduled caste, had to go through this torture.
