12 Eminent People Who Made Headlines In 2012
Khaps
The Haryana Khaps have been in news this year for many reasons; some of them even border irrationality. They got the press attention for demanding reservation for their people in government jobs. Also the increased number of rape victims in Haryana has given the Khaps an opportunity to come up with solutions that questions logic, like lowering the age of marriage for girls to avoiding these awful incidents. Further, the other suggestion was to ban all fast food joints in the state, as they feel it will be a remedy to the crisis. Lately they were in news for amending the Hindu Marriage Act and asking to shut the liquor vendors in religious towns in the state.
