LUCKNOW, India — A group of men, including at least two police officers, raped and killed two teenage sisters in rural India then hung their bodies from a mango tree, authorities said Thursday, announcing the arrests of four men.
Villagers found the girls' bodies hanging from the tree Wednesday morning, hours after they disappeared from fields near their home in Katra village in Uttar Pradesh state, police Superintendent Atul Saxena said. The girls, who were 14 and 15, had gone into the fields because there was no toilet in their home.

India is the most Racist nation on earth as the cast system litterally bind's people for all generations as inferior or superior, what happened to these two children is nothine unusual these days in india, children from this and other poor low casts have in the past also been murdered by those involved in the illegal trade in human organs but this is truly appalling, they raped and murdered these kid's then hung them up like trophy's, these are the poorest and most down trodden people in india and perhaps the world and regardless of there personaly skill or ability they can not climb the social ladder, can not work in any professional role as the other casts will not accept them and to make matters worse they are the true indigenous indian native people whom were suppressed after each invasion and moved down the cast ladder further with each successive new tribe to rule over them and there previous conquerer's.

You see that is the problem though enshrined in the hindu traditions and faith, so also there culture the origin of this as TiedDestructor also correctly put's it Prejudice is actually racial in origin, the ruling cast are originally or eurasian origin and indeed it is the very nation the word Aryan originated in as the Aryan step tribes conquered india and became it's ruling caste only later to be displaced by the moghuls and then the British all of whom kept the casts system in place as it made governance easier and was entrenched in the subconscious of the people of the sub continent.
I believe racism is correct as the different cast see themselves as different race and what is a race anyway, it is simply a large tribe whom have been isolated from others for a prolonged time, they may be intermarried but it is extremely rare and frowned down on in there society, a man may marry a higher cast but a woman may not marry a lower cast and it bring's shame and dishonor to do so.
But of course to us whom are outside we find it hard to tell a pakistani from an indian most of the time and only the darker skin of the lower cast indians down to black skin for many of the Dalit or Rat people (so named because they are so poor they eat Rat's) distinguished them in our eye's, the highest cast appear very different having different less pronounced featured and the Dalit have often heavier brow ridge's etc' but in truth they are no less equipped though definitely at a cultural disadvantage, it makes me angry how many potential genius and great scholars have been denied the world by such immoral cast systems but it is there way not our's.

That is just it they are not essentially the same tribe but a tribe whom where dominated, yes over time they merge but where caste is used to segregate it takes a lot longer anyway this is about a terrible injustice which those two kid's suffered and the scum whom perpetrated it, i never intended to get onto the road of trying to explain there attitudes to one another, they were kid's full stop, abused, murdered and hung like trophys to mock the poor poeple by those whom saw themselves as above the local law and so felt free to treat these kid's as disposable toy's to torture and murder before leaving them as a boast of how manly they were to harm two defenceless children.

From what I see in the USA it won't be long until this thing starts happening.

A three-year study of 500 Dalit women’s experiences of violence across four Indian states shows that the majority of Dalit women report having faced one or more incidents of verbal abuse (62.4%), physical assault (54.8%), sexual harassment and assault (46.8%), domestic violence (43.0%) and rape (23.2%).
SR Darapuri, vice-president of the People's Union for Civil Liberties (PUCL) in Uttar Pradesh, says most of the rape victims are poor women and girls in remote villages. Many, he says, are low-caste Dalits (formerly known as "untouchables").
"I analysed the rape figures for 2007 and I found that 90% of victims were Dalits and 85% of Dalit rape victims were underage girls," he says
