One week ago a social worker in a village in Muzaffarnagar district of UP, 150 km from Delhi, committed suicide after a video clip of her being raped was made public. It was not a news, because she was from the wrong religion, and her rapist was from the protected religion. No TV cameras reached her village, Rahul Gandhi did not visit her family, Kejriwal did not demand resignation of any ministers.
A student in Hyderabad university, who was suspended for beating a fellow student in his hostel room, committed suicide yesterday, and all the political vultures are flying to Hyderabad to milk the tragedy for all its worth.
All suicides are equal, but some suicides are more equal than others.
