The death of a nine-year-old Scheduled Caste boy in Rajasthan is a story that should shake all of us as we mark 75 years of Independence.

The issue has snowballed into a huge political controversy, with the Ashok Gehlot government not just facing criticism from the opposition, but also from its own ranks. Congress leader Sachin Pilot went to meet the boy's family today, but will it be enough?
