Abstract

In India, the Panchayati Raj system was introduced with the aim of decentralization and democratization. Yet there remain certain mysteries. KhapPanchayats, the self-proclaimed courts of caste lords in a village, enjoy full legitimacy and authority among the section of their caste as custodian of honour. It is through them that most regressive views are sought to be implemented. It is very distressing to note that in times when people chat via 3G technology, Indian society has regressed to the Dark ages.
