Mangalore: As reported earlier a protest rally was taken by members of backward classes led by KSBC awareness forum chief K.S. Shivaramu and Basvaraja Devaru Swamiji who spoke to the gathering about Made Snan being an immoral practice that was also inhuman.

Karnataka Rajya Hindulida Vargagala Jagrutha Vedike staged a hunger strike in front of DC Office on Nov 7, Saturday.

But upper classes had imposed these classes on backward classes and Govt. was hesitating to step in to the ring to remove a superstition. Several Dalit leaders were present on the occasion. The Made Snana continued on Saturday as well.

Sri Rachoti Shivacharya Swamy of Bettadapura Shakha Mutt, Mysore, DYFI president Muneer Katipalla and others participated in the protest.
