Dalit man lynched in Gujarat: How India is grappling with violence

'Vigilantism is flourishing in India, unabated. Mobile footage of civilians beating, kicking, flogging crime suspects, the weak and the vulnerable alike has now become a regular feature on television rundowns. The latest in the series of horrific lynch-attack videos have emerged from prime minister Narendra Modi's Gujarat. A man is bound by his waist with a rope looped through the handlebar of a door. Its other end is held by one of his four attackers. He howls in pain as two men take turns to whip him with a PVC stick. The clip was shot on a factory compound at Rajkot's Shapar industrial zone, some seven kilometres from the city.
