This can happens only in India where a Hindu spiritual head is charged with murder or having blue films and what not what. We were slaves for more than one thousand years and our mentality is also like this. Still Hindus are thinking like slaves, and pretend like helpless . A so called High caste will prefers to a Muslim or christian than to low caste Hindu and visavarsa is also 100% true.
