The best part of the tournament was Xchange 1 vs Xchange 2 match. This match was the longest in the tournament since both of our team were rookies and so most entertaining. Out and out, super awesome experience … for more pictures join our GANG !!!

Recently there have been demands from Christian and Muslim Dalits to be included in the SC/ST/OBC categories citing they also faced some discrimination and economic inequalities like the Hindu Dalits.
