The header read 'NLSIU Dalit student hangs himself in hostel room'. The instant thought was "oh no, not another victim of caste-related harassment". But the story connected to caste nowhere. This is the media in India - more communal, racial and opportunist than any religious or political institution.
The 22-year-old student of NLSIU had committed suicide but the cause was yet not known.
The loss of a young life was tragic. Why was the caste or religion of the boy important?
