  • Love Meets Death: “Honour,” Violence, and Inter-Caste Marriages in Tamil Nadu
    Love Meets Death: “Honour,” Violence, and Inter-caste Marriages in Tamil Nadu Perundevi Srinivasan* Introduction The decapitated body of a young man was found on a railway track near Pallipalayam village in Namakkal district, Tamil Nadu on June 24, 2015. The young man was identified as Gokulraj, a twenty-two-year-old engi- neering graduate from a Dalit caste (Paraiyar) from nearby Omalur in Salem district. Though it was initially speculated that he might have been run over by a train, post-mortem reports revealed that he had suffered multiple injuries prior to his death. The circumstances leading to this murder eventually became public. As the media reported it, Yuvaraj, the founder of Dheeran Chinnamalai Peravai, an outfit serving the “interests” of the Kongu Vellala Kavundar (hereafter, I will refer to it as Kavundar) caste, was allegedly involved in the murder.1 Yuvaraj and his accomplices, who belong to the caste outfit, are said to have abducted Gokulraj from the famous Siva-Ardhanariswarar temple, located at the top of a hillock in Tiruchengode, when they saw him along with his lover (kātali), a girl named Swathi of the Kavundar caste. The abduction was recorded by the temple’s CCTV camera and was subsequently listed as police evidence against the perpetrators. According to the police, the group took Gokulraj to a secluded place, murdered him, and dumped him on the railway track. The violence Dalit men face when they become romantically involved with or marry non-Dalit women from members of dominant caste groups is not entirely new to Tamil Nadu.
