In Nepal things aren't so good. Or do you mean the most restrictive laws in the provinces of India?

I suspect there are quite a few hard-liners in India who feel the same but haven't the power to impose such laws.

I have no knowledge of the situation in Nepal. As far as I know, however, the country has recently become a secular state (though, then again, that is only a change in name - no laws were affected).

Because saying mob violence is understandable is reprehensible.

It isn't.

It is possible for a psychologist to understand what motivates a killer. That, however, does not justify the killing in any way, does it?

It is not understandable for me that people decide to go and rape, mutilate, rob and kill based on nothing more than some atavistic urge to punish some other people who they don't know and have no way of knowing are responsible for some alleged event.

Again, it is understandable, but also reprehensible and condemnable.

That's the kind of 'magical' thinking employed by psychopaths and serial killers.

Precisely correct.
