There was another incident a few months back where a man was shown puttin kerosene on himself and then lighting himself up, these so called 24hrs news channel kept this scene on the loop. Nobody came to his rescue and kind of just stood on the outside making sure they had a good angle to capture this nonsense. Also, how about the guy from Gujurat burning himself in protest of Fanaa, a movie. Wonder who egged him on??

Omfg. These “people” helped a man kill himself to boost their own images and all you can think about is saving face for your religion. For 2 seconds, just 2 seconds, try to push aside your own religious (not philosophical) biases and concerns and recognize this as an issue of humanity. (I know this is a South Asian blog and that’s inherently hard for some) Before anyone is a member of any religion, race or caste, he/she is a human being. Please, please, try to think of it this way.

I’m tired of people missing the mo’fuckin’ forest for the mo’fuckin’ trees.

Source please.

Wow. this is truly shocking in it’s barbarity. Journalists encouraging a man to die for some news/photography. Will there be justice? But then, I have been influenced by western mores. I do not know how the locals are taking this.
