Woman dies after Indian police ‘take oxygen cylinder from family for VIP’

it's because indians are blindly religious to the point of having absurd double standards. For instance:

Cows are holy, don't eat them. Just tie them up and milk them for all their lives, wean the calves, pour some buckets of the milk on statues of deities riding cows.

River Ganges is holy. So worship it by dumping ashes, corpses, burnt wood, material waste from rites, and make it the most polluted river in the world.

Young girls are embodiments of goddesses (Devis) so don't educated them, repress them, and sell them with dowries as wives when they come of age.

Some aspects of Hinduism are good food for thought like the karmic cycle and moksha and nirvaan etc. but modern day Hinduism in India is for the most part a paradox
