Dud Sea Scrawls The Writing, clearly, is not on the wall!

making provocative judgements about other people’s intelligence doesn’t make one a wise man…
Riots, as claimed by the english media generally did not happen all over Bangalore. One cannot know what’s happening around the world sitting in some room thousands of kilometers away and pass judgements based on what’s on some news channel or newspaper.

Riots did not happen because anyone suspected foulplay. Riots did not happen because Indians are retards.

Riots happened only in areas where the thespian’s body was kept and taken in procession. The reason was bad arrangement while the body was kept in state, hasty arrangements made for the funeral because of the family’s wishes based on astrological considerations. When you have lakhs of people thronging to get a final glimpse of the great man, there would be breaches of security, which could have been better handled. People had been waiting for sleepless hours just to bid final farewell when the body was removed without even announcements.
Coming to the aspect of bundh, de Silva, it was not enforced, it was spontaneous. Call it fear, call it respect, idiocy or whatever other thing you want to call. I was out when we got the news, no one came and asked anyone to shut shop. I’d like to remind, that even when he was kidnapped, no one enforced any kind of bundhs, it was spontaneous, irrespective of what the english media made it look like. Sure there will be some unscrupulous people who misuse the opportunities these kind of unfortunate events provide and cannot be denied. It happens even in the US of A. Lets keep things in perspective and remember when the Los Angeles burned because of the Rodney King affair. In Bangalore, hundreds of fans who already felt cheated of an opportunity to see their demi-god for a final time were beaten up after being made to wait for hours. When people become a mob, it doesn’t need a matchstick to light a big fire, a tiny spark will do. Indians are humans too, perhaps more so…
