The incident took place in Karaundi, a tribal-dominated village in Madhya Pradesh, on July 4. A video of the incident went viral on social media, showing a man urinating on Dasmat Ravat, a 36-year-old tribal man.
The video sparked outrage across the country, with people demanding justice for Ravat. Chief Minister Chouhan was quick to react, condemning the incident and ordering a probe. He also visited Ravat and apologized to him.
On July 6, Chouhan visited Ravat again and washed his feet as a gesture of respect. He also felicitated Ravat with a shawl and a cheque.
In a video message, Chouhan said that the incident was "shameful" and that he would not tolerate any kind of atrocity against any citizen of the state. He said that the respect of every citizen of Madhya Pradesh was his respect.
Chouhan's gesture has been widely praised by people across the country. It is seen as a sign of his humility and respect for the tribal community. It is also seen as a powerful message against all forms of discrimination and violence.
The incident has also highlighted the need to address the issue of discrimination against tribal people in Madhya Pradesh. The state has a large tribal population, but they often face discrimination in terms of access to education, healthcare, and other basic services.
The incident has also sparked a debate about the treatment of indigenous communities in India. There have been a number of cases of violence against tribal people in recent years, and many people believe that the government is not doing enough to protect them.
The incident in Karaundi is a reminder of the challenges that tribal people face in India. It is also a reminder of the importance of respecting all citizens, regardless of their background or ethnicity.
