hate crime? what is your base for saying so? so far the presented article speculates that Umesh Magar was mis identified as a thief and was beaten to death. The villagers in india seem to be brainless or something more triggered this. so far the given article points it out to be murder but without all evidence and facts presented this remains a mystery. I do personally feel killing someone is wrong and sad as this news is, we should not quickly  conclude without learning the entire detail of the story. Personally I do not trust any news media these days.
