None of the officials seem perturbed that food is being rejected because it has been cooked by a dalit.
All they are concerned about is that people are stepping out of quarantine to eat food.
It's almost as if, if the homes of these people started delivering the food to the quarantine center, then the whole problem would go away. The rejection of dalit touched food is simply not a social or criminal issue for these people.
70 years of our constitution and this is what we have. There is no independence from untouchability. Till religion teaches the caste system, and people follow religion, there is no escape. Not even in the times of covid.
