Indian lowest-caste Dalit man killed 'for owning horse' - BBC News

A young farmer from the lowest rung of India's caste hierarchy - the Dalit community - has been beaten to death, apparently for owning and riding a horse.

Police in Gujarat state said three upper-caste men had been detained for questioning.

The victim's father said his son had been warned not to ride the horse as this was an upper-caste privilege.
=====================================================
Wow. I thought the Untouchables were the lowest caste in India - the people traditionally employed cleaning out cess pools & latrines. But this poor guy got killed by 3 upper-caste men for being 'uppity' - for owning & riding a horse.

Cross India off my 'must visit' bucket list.

Its a beautiful country, though. I mean, like, the landscape, and such.
 
Meanwhile, we have college twits who whine about make-believe discrimination.

Show them this article and then tell them to quit whining and be lucky they have it so good here.
