Thousands of people from the Dalit caste in India disrupted traffic and threw stones at buses in Mumbai on Tuesday as they protested against violence in a nearby city in which a man was killed.


The protest came a day after celebrations by Dalits in Pune, 150km from Mumbai, of the 200th anniversary of a battle they won, fighting alongside British colonial forces, against an upper caste ruler, were marred by clashes with right-wing groups.


Those clashes resulted in the death of a 28-year-old man, according to the Maharashtra government. It was not immediately clear which side the man was on.
