    jagdish,

    Isnt is ironic that you want law enforcement and courts to deal with the person to abused your godess. Dont you think that godess herself will punish the person if she felt she has been abused.

    I request all the people who get easily offended to avoid facebook, twitter and whatsapp. Please deal with a fact that social media is just not for you.

    I cant believe that govt is spending police resources on cases like these which will go nowhere.

    Dr. B.R.Ambedkar, the father of our Constitution, fought against social evils and inequality, and fought for the rights of the poor, marginalised and underprivileged sections of society.

    It's really unfortunate that a few people have not given him his due place in India's rich history, in spite of his invaluable contribution.
