Low-caste Indian villager lynched
A low-caste Indian man has been killed for shooing away cattle
belonging to upper caste people in the western state of Madhya
Pradesh, police say.
Kailash Bagri, 40, was beaten to death and his body was then burnt in
the district of Dhar, about 290km (180 miles) from the state capital,
Bhopal.
Police say Mr Bagri objected to oxen being tethered in front of his
house.
He was then beaten for his "insolence", say police, who have yet to
make any arrests in the case.
The body of Mr Bagri was so badly burnt that police had been unable
even to recover his bones, district police chief Chanchal Shekhar told
the BBC.
Villagers were also threatened not to report the matter to anyone, but
Mr Bagri's son managed to slip out and report the matter to the police
the next day.

Well, that'll teach him HIS place ...
India is the worlds 2nd most populace nation. It has
a large number of nuclear weapons, missiles capable of
reaching the moon and is forming close alliances with
China and Russia.
Oh yea, we sell 'em all our spare uranium at discount
prices too.
It also has a pervasive medieval mindset when it comes
to social issues. Sometimes they make the Taliban look
civilized.
Doesn't this make you feel all warm inside ? :-)
