utepian:
When we are collectively outraged at the similar crime in distant Pakistan against a Muslim lady (remember Mukhtaran Bi episode?), our heart certainly burns when we hear of such crimes against women in a land where we worship Laxmi, Saraswati etc. Could it be a reason we don't like to view crimes wearing caste or religious or nationalistic googles?
The next Supreme Court Cheif Justice will be Dalit. And for all we pray he dispenses speedy justice since we know for sure the unelectable <i>Hindu</i> Cabinet Home minister (from Maharashtra) is probabily brain dead, the <i>Hindu</i> Chief Minister (from Cong) and his Congress controlling the entire state machinery is gone on an extended vacation since we are expecting local RSS shakas to be the torch-bearers of justice.
