But about your point - achhe din or not, poverty, goverment apathy, system etc cannot be the exuse to rob others or kill others.

One aspect is how much skill in India is wasted, seriously if these people could have been educated and got into some legible business they could have done better in life. Many of the villages dirty politics and lack of education and corruption push people to misery and when they find a way out they don't care if it's right or wrong. And who knows if there is well educated person behind all of it.
