Bauls are bleeding

While going through the news item, “Souls of bauls bleeding,” published in your esteemed daily on August 24, 2014, I was shocked and tears welled up in my eyes.

Bauls are humanists. They render songs praising their gurus and the Creator and never get themselves involved in mundane family life. Mere rejoinders or protest rallies will not take away the cruelty done on the bauls. The perpetrators deserve immediate punishment.
