Explanation:

Lynching has become a social menace all across India, therefore the centre should come with the law to deal with it. The law should incorporate the following provisions:

It should be applicable to all hate crimes, not just lynching (for example honour killing), regardless of the numbers of persons who participate.

Since the essence of what distinguishes these kinds of crimes is not the numbers of attackers but the motivation of hate behind the crimes, therefore, the law should provision dealing with solitary hate crimes.

The law needs to prescribe a much more expansive framework of mandatory gender-sensitive reparation.

The law should incorporate penal action against doctors who stand accused of dereliction of duty, for the delay in attending to victims of lynching.
