We are living in twenty first century but our behavior resembles the stone ages where there was no concern for the humanity. The mob lynching and mob violence is alien to our culture and democracy and it should not happen as it bring bad name to the whole system. Mob violence and mob lynching is thus unacceptable as it reflects savage behavior and so has no place in the modern day society. Mob lynching is unfortunately taking place in different places of the independent India and it is condemnable and should not take place. Ours is a democratic country rather it is the biggest democracy of the world and the mob lynching should not take place at all. Mob lynching brings bad name to our democracy and because of the mob lynching our democracy has degenerated in mobocracy were there is free for all and there is no fear of the law and order machinery. It is most unfortunate that the people belonging to lower sections of the society are the victims of mob violence. Thus the people of the dalit community are susceptible to mob lynching and it is very unfortunate and should not happen. The behavior of the brute in man is manifested in the shameful and uncivilized mob lynching. The mob lynching of the minorities and dalits is a blot on the face of free India and such mob lynching and mob violence is unacceptable and it has no place in our society. We often hear the sordid stories of the mob lynching of the people belonging to the minorities and the dalits and we hang our heads in shame over such mob lynching. It only shows brute in man and is the negation of the moral conduct of the people. It is very unfortunate that mob lynching is politicized but this should not be done for the sake of humanity. The political parties should rise above the petty politics and condemn mob lynching and mob violence but it is hardly done as the political parties only politicize this important issue. Mob violence and mob lynching cannot be justified on any reason whatsoever and as such we cannot justify mob lynching on any account.In a democracy and a liberal country as ours the behavior of mob lynching is most disturbing and highly condemnable and all the right thinking people should condemn mob lynching. There is the duly elected government to punish those who commit crimes and the people have no right to take law into their own hands and inflict punishment on those who commit any crime. The law of the land should be allowed to take its own course and no one should be allowed to tinker with the law and thus take law into its hands. Sometimes mob lynching is justified on account of the protection of the holy cow and calf  but in the protection of the milch giving animals the law should be given its place and the punishment of the crimes should be left to the government and the mob lynching should not be resorted to under any circumstance. The people belonging to minorities and dalits should not be made sacrificial goats and killed with sadistic pleasure by the unruly mobs. It has been seen time and again that the unruly mobs punishing the innocent and weak people belonging to minorities and dalit communities and such behavior  is not acceptable in a modern society. Mob lynching scenes bring down shivers down ones spine and this should not be accepted. The heart rending scenes are there to see in the mob lynching cases as the victims are made to die with canning and the pleadings and requests of the victims are disregarded and the victim is beaten to death. Earlier a sadhu was beaten to death by the some unruly people and the case attracted condemnation from the society and the media. He pleaded for the life but his request for life was not heard and he was done to death on flimsily grounds. These days the mob lynching of a dalit man is reported from Hanumangad of Rajasthan. Here a man was done to death by mob lynching and all his pleadings for life fell on the deaf ears of the unruly men who continue to beat him to death. Mob lynching is a dastardly act but the political parties are politicizing this issue to score browine points and this is unacceptable. In the present case of the mob lynching of the dalit man the killers should be identified and kept behind bars and severe punishment should be given to the people involved in mob lynching of the dalit man.It is very unfortunate that after beating to death the dalit youth the killers  have thrown the dead body of the victim near his home.This shows that the killers have no fear of the law. It is necessary to create fear in the minds of the people so that the cases of mob lynching will not take place again. One fails to understand as to how the unruly men have beaten the victim to death ignoring all his pleadings for the life and how savage the killers are who take sadistic pleasure in the death of the victim. In the present case of the mob lynching of the dalit youth in Hanumangad there are eleven men who are involved in beating to death of the dalit youth and upto now only four men have been arrested and seven are at large still. What is needed is that all the people who were involved in beating to death of the dalit  youth should  be identified and severe punishment should be awarded to the killers so that mob lynching is not resorted again. Mob lynching is a law and order problem and as such the fear of the law should be created among the people so that the cases of mob lynching will not happen and tarnish our image in the world. Therefore what is needed is the enforcement of the law so that there is no case of the mob violence and mob lynching. The fear of law should be created in the people so that they think eleven times before committing mob lynching. The relatives of the youth killed by mob lynching have alleged as to where be the Rahul and Priyanka Gandhi and why they have not visited the home of the youth lynched by the mob. Mayawati who has visited the home of the victim of mob violence in Rajasthan has said that the congress leader Rahul Gandhi and Priyanka Gandhi has not visited the Hanumangad because there are no elections in the state in the near future. One thing is crystal clear that the mob lynching should not be politicized but it should be condemned by all the political parties and no points should be scored in politicizing the issue of mob lynching. To be specific mob violence and mob lynching are alien to our culture and as such it should not be resorted to under any circumstance whatsoever as it cannot be justified on any reason. Thus in our democratic country the cases of mob lynching are unjustified and hence unacceptable.
