To the people......
                    You may have listen about cases of atrocities on people due to varieties of reasons but if you see the last  few year's events of such cruelty then you will find that most of these cases happen majorly due to spread of rumours and then lynching. Most of them started with the rumours, suspicion or religious beliefs and they resulted into death of a person, persons or attack on a community.
                     If we see the events in which order they have happened then it may be considered that some were the consequences of caste based atrocities, some were due to religious belief and the rest are by fake news or rumours.
                      You must have heard about atrocities on dalit boys in Una district of Gujrat where they were half naked, tied to a vehicle and being beaten by a group of people with iron rod. In the same Gujrat two different cases arrived in news when a dalit boys had posted a photo on his whatsapp  showing a moustache written with 'dalit rocks' and within next two days he was beaten by some people of so called upper caste and succumbed to death. In other case one dalit boy had bought a horse, he used to ride that and also posted few pictures with that. Few days later he was also killed by some group of people who were also from the same category, so called upper caste. Last year a similar news came from Kerala where one very poor tribal man was tried to steal some food from a shop and later he was beaten to death. Though he was thief but who gave such power to the people to punish them in such a manner and likewise there are so many examples all around the India about atrocities on lower caste people.
                        And if we see the other reasons for lynching, they were inspired by religious belief. Cow 'the holy animal', has been a talk of the town for many years in India. Hindu worship cows, uses cow dung for fuel and cleaning in villages, it feed us with milk and that's why we are having largest number of cows in the world as well as first in global milk production. But now days cow has become a big reason for killing of those who are not either Hindu or lower caste Hindu because they are suppose to be beef eater or engaged in profession of running abattoirs. No doubt, we should respect the religious beliefs but what if few people kill a person on the basis of merely doubt or suspicion?
                        Specially Muslims and so called lower caste were the victims of such incidents. Jharkhand, Bihar, Uttar pradesh, Gujrat, Rajsthan, and Madhya pradesh  are the witness of such mishaps. After the death of people it came in the light that some of them were taking their cattle to the fair for sale, some of them were in animal rearing and one of them was just travelling in the train with his family.
                         Recently there were some rumour about Bachcha Chor (who kidnaps kids) in many parts of our country. In Maharastra, Madhya pradesh, Jharkhand and Andhra pradesh mostly, these fake news were been circulated through social media platforms and people started to live in fear. Later on, when they see someone in such doubtful situation their fear converts into anger and revenge. Five people of a family were killed in attack by a mob in Maharastra because the villagers thought that they were kidnappers and it was just a rumour.  
                       This is happening because majority of people are still affected by a kind of prevalent mentality which shows that inequality based on caste, religion and gender will take a long run to be finished. Atrocities on dalits are inspired by an ideology of varn vyavastha  that gave authority to so called upper caste people that shudras are untouchables and that's why they are to be exploited. Such ideology has been criticised by whole global community but caste complexity of Indian society is not ready to accept it. In present time such ideas are again gaining their popularity which will cause a great loss of people's belief in the world's most tolerant religion Hindu as well as for integrity of India. As for as slaughtering of cows are concerned than people may have different opinion but we shouldn't take laws in our hand to finish one's precious human life.
          Once Mahatma Gandhi said that "I would not kill a human being for protecting a cow, as I will not kill a cow for saving a human life, be it ever so precious."
                               
                           In the era of global connectivity through internet, social media has played a vital role. Since it is easily accessible to everyone, it has also become an easy way to spread rumours and fake news. To get more views and readers, some time people share any news, photos, video and links without thinking whether it's real or fake and social media platforms have become a big reason for such misuses. Even those who are well educated and scholars, some time they also do such mistakes and blindly trust on any such fake news. This causes death of many innocents as we have seen in cases of Bachcha chor in Maharastra, religious tension or riot of West Bengal and many more.
                           So if we want to establish our community and country peaceful then bewaring of such things will help us in doing so.
          if you want to give your opinion about this then your most welcome because we are here for...            Manthan!
