&ldquo;All should work together and nobody should politicize things. Law alone will not ensure that there is no crime against Dalits. For this, people need to work together. Law will take its own course. Unless the society changes, inter-caste marriages are promoted, unless efforts are made to bring together two sides of the society, I feel casteism will not end,&rdquo; he said yesterday. He said, &ldquo;The message should go that Dalits are also citizens of this country. They should also be respected.&rdquo;
