I always use India as an argument of why Islam isn't necessarily the problem, it's the general shitty culture from a whole shitty region(s).

If that headline were "Indiana couple hacked to death for a .22 cent debt for biscuits." I might care.

I suspect that the OBAMA (never let a good tragedy go to waste) administration will be granting more Indian immigration as a result. Hummm....as if the H1B visa program wasn't enough already?

as a former british colony, I just want to point out that in india, biscuits are what we would call cookies. so someone lost their life over some cookies. we had a member of our offshore team come to the states for a month, he told me when the british left, everything good about india left with them. there are 29 states in india, & the territories were formed based on the language spoken there. so that's 29 separate languages & no common tongue uniting the country. he also told me their court system is absolutely broken & without bribes, you will probably die before your case goes to trial.

I had the opportunity to go to Jodhpur for work and found 50 different reasons not to go. My manager finally dropped it and I did the work remotely. You couldn't pay me enough to travel to India, Pakistan or Bangladesh. |

The perps and victims in this case are Hindu, not Muslim. Muslims and Sikhs in India do not have a caste system.

Couple packets of biscuits worth pennies vs. likely ongoing drug dealing dispute. They also never figured that case out, so you don't really know who did it or why, right? How do you know it wasn't an Indian man?

This was not about the money, per se, but about the Dalit (untouchables) not immediately paying the higher-caste shop owner or sufficiently abasing themselves when confronted. |

My parents are from India and I was born here. I've been there 4 times. I don't remember the first two trips, but when I went the last two times I hated it. We didn't do anything touristy though, just stayed in the local village for a family wedding.
Being there for 3-4 weeks each time really gave me a greater appreciation for our awesome country. I can't thank my parents enough for making the move over here. It really bums me out to see how divided our country is until something horrible happens. |

I guess the price has been set on a Dalits life; 11 cents.

Your commentary on "culture" in India with *this* as the evidence could just as easily be about Los Angeles with any number of murders committed over something as trivial as a "disrespect." Calling the crime and the criminal a savage is appropriate. Projecting that savagery on the totality of the populace or suggesting it's a "normal" facet of Indian culture is as dishonest as it is incorrect. Imdian culture has a shit load of issues compared to most Western ideals. The regular slaughter of debtors isn't really among them. |
