Such a shame that people take the law in their own hand and are not prosecuted and given free hand like they are appointed by state government .
skinning a dead cow whats wrong in it they are doing for thousand of years Dalit need to come out of this third class mentality and start working in the main stream jobs not any more that filthy jobs.
