Dear Babu Bhai,
Here I completely agree with What Dewan Singh has said,
In fact recently I was sitting with a group of senior retired judges &
understood the crucial role Khaps played in building the society.
Khaps role & importance can not be rules out by a sold out media to
the crooks & mafia of India.
Thanks & Regards
R.K.Atri
