Friends, Please try to understand the whole scenario rather than blaming an individual. We must fight against the social prejudice and buyas. In my knowledge, no political party has taken adequate concrete steps to eliminate our problems. If any, simply they are showing simpathy or the concept of doing good for the destitutes. We must unite to go for lobbying like other minority or some other sections of the society. Thanks and regards suryanarayana.
