Is this some kind of thing in India?


Another one?! (This was in 1993, but still...)

Pitched battle in Calcutta over dead guru´s decomposing body

  1. There is something very funny about internal religious fights like this. I remenber a YT clip i saw ten yesrs ago with some sikh group at a large meeting where two fractions had an escalating argument about God knows what. It soon got physical and every Mr Singh in the room did his best trying to smash the brains in of another Mr Singh. Good thing the turbans protect really well against blunt violence. Strange no one used his knife. Perhaps thats reserved for non Sikh targets?
    The clip was called "This argument about whos the most humble gets waaay out of hand".
    Cant find it now. Seems scrubbed from the net.

  2. Yes, I was a bit disappointed when deep-diving into Wiki´s Sikh pages, it seems Sikhs can be just as crazy, fundamentalist and terroristic as every other religious group. Add to that caste conflicts and what not (you know, an assassinated Indian PM) and you have "business as usual" as far as organized religion goes.
