Force of habit.

Anyway, riots left one rioter and one policeman dead in Indian technoenclave of Bangalore. The riots also saw the destruction of property, torching police vans and tens of private vehicles. The Microsoft office there felt the fury of the rioters rocks.

What caused the riots? Was it a protest against globalization? Unemployment? WHAT?

Well, it was actually mourning for a movie star: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/south_asia/4905880.stm

That's right. In preparation for its role as next global power, India is getting weird...er.

India had a riot the other day after a one-day cricket match between them and England was called off due to bad weather. Never mind that onedayers happen all the fucking time these days, and that India had already won the series..
