Krishn Pratap Singh is a senior journalist.

Krishn Pratap Singh is a senior journalist. He says the principles of truth and non-violence are now being twisted by those in power. He says leaders of today not only are completely bereft of morality but even endeavour to corrupt others. If untouchability is indeed a part of Hinduism, then I cannot remain within the Hindu faith, he says. He firmly believes in this tenet of Hindu scriptures that one who has not fully adhered to non-violence, truth, and celibacy cannot truly comprehend the essence of the scriptures. This is a moment for renewed contemplation.
