Unnecessary
Anytime you read the words, “Old rules clash with new India” you can be quite confident that those old rules involve sagavely killing someone for what is seemingly not so big of a deal. Case in point:
Ravinder Gehlaut and Shilpa Kadiyan were wedded in March of last year. Their families had arranged their marriage in the traditional way: each had checked out the other’s caste, status and wealth. Everything had seemed fine. But weeks later the whispers began. Village elders began dropping in on Ravinder’s father’s home in the village of Dharana, in Haryana state, saying the couple had violated a social taboo forbidding the marriage of people belonging to the same “gotra,” a vague term connoting clan. Soon, the village’s “khap panchayat,” or caste council, a powerful watchdog group of older men, declared the village had been dishonored. They gave the couple an ultimatum: get divorced, and in Shilpa’s case, marry another man approved by the council. An angry mob armed with iron rods and sickles surrounded the Gehlaut home, threatening to kill the family.
Threatening mobs wielding pipes and sickles, looking to kill is a good spot to draw the prime median seprating insanity from sanity. I’m all for holding on to traditions that you don’t want to see disappear into the sands of time, so long as that fighting and hanging on to them doesn’t include fighting and hanging people. Deal?

This child should just be given sums of money
I dare someone to have a better Rags to Riches story. You can’t get much more ragged of a start than a toilet bowl…of an airplane…flown by Turkmenistan Airlines.
An Indian woman gave birth to a baby in the bathroom of an international passenger plane and tried to dispose of it down the toilet, according to media reports in New Delhi. The infant was found stuck in the toilet after the plane landed in Amritsar, northern India, and was rushed to hospital still attached to the toilet bowl, police and doctors told the Press Trust of India news agency. H.P. Singh, a doctor at the Escorts Hospital near the airport, said that a team of surgeons used a saw cutter to clear the newborn’s head from the toilet.
What was that? You were going to tell me how bad your day has been? Oh, you changed your mind? Ok.
Still attached to the toilet bowl! Saw cutters! Even the boys from Slumdog Millionaire would agree that they had it pretty damn good as an infant in comparison. Flushing drugs, goldfish, or cats down the toilet is one thing, but the baby that you just gave birth to is another story. I mean did she just come out of the bathroom whistling a tune, while she dried her recently washed hands with a paper towel? Dooty Doo. Gosh, this is a long flight!
Newspapers reported the mother was an unmarried medical student returning home after completing a degree abroad.
WTF! Maybe this was part of her medical school’s dissertaion. Hopefully soon her brain will be part of a medical school’s dissection

Just a few
Andy did it to get out of prison. That’s understandable. This guy hammered and chiseled through a mountain for 14 years to park his car. I don’t know how to feel about this.
“I could not park my truck near my house since the mountain blocked my path,” said 53-year-old Ramchandra Das, who lives in eastern Bihar state’s Gaya district. Mr Das said the fear of thieves stealing his truck prompted him to work on the tunnel all by himself after authorities refused help.
I am guessing that chiseling through a piece of drywall could take some time, let alone a raised tectonic plate. I’m thinking that you’d be better off working some other job and then paying someone to TNT a hole for you, no?
Local villagers, who had to trek for miles to get around the mountain, are using the tunnel to reach their farms, and praising Mr Das for his work.
Whoa whoa whoa, hold on folks. Find your own goddamn tunnel. What is this?! This guy gets no help for one and a half decades while making a mole hole out of a mountain (See what I did there?) and now you want to use his passageway to get to your farms? WTF is that?! What’s next, you gonna try to buy this guy’s house today at its 1972 appraised value?
Savages.

Population Control? What for?
Oh man, Indians (dots not feathers) are hysterical.
“On World Population Day this year India’s new health and welfare minister came out with an idea on how to tackle the population issue: Bring electricity to every Indian village so that people would watch television until late at night and therefore be too tired to make babies.”
Wait, what? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
So you’re telling me that the Indian government (if you can even call it that) is actually going to ship televisions into random Indian villages across the entire country and urge people to watch it for ONE night, so they don’t go rummaging around inside each other’s robes?
That is utterly re-fucking-diculous.
What shows are they going to watch? It better be a constant stream of CSPAN because if any of that Bollywood stuff comes on, I’d whip out my dick and start throwing beats right there.
Of course it gets better:
“At 80-plus years old Omar Mohammed has never heard of population control. He lives in India’s most populous state Uttar Pradesh and has certainly done his part in contributing to India’s burgeoning population. “Now you see I have 24 children, 13 boys and 11 girls,” Omar says.”
24 kids! Are you motherfucking crazy!?! I sincerely hope this wasn’t all with the same woman sir. I can see her now, walking barefoot down a dirt path with a bowl of curry on her head, dropping kids out of her vagina like she’s a horse taking a shit.
Population control in India, now the funniest thing I’ve ever heard of.

This Is NOT what LeVar Burton wanted you to read!
If there was one book in the history of the written language you absolutely would NOT want a society to use as an inspirational tool it would be this!
“Mein Kampf,” Adolf Hitler’s autobiography, is flying off the shelves at Indian book stores as business students look to Germany’s former dictator for inspiration”
Well at least there is probably a good explanation, right?
“Indian students see the book as a self-improvement and management strategy guide”
I’m sorry, strategy guide? The last strategy guide I bought was for Super Mario 64, and it helped me get 120 stars, and I’m pretty sure it never mentioned me killing 6 million Jews. Can’t we get these kids hooked on something else crazy, maybe less hateful? I never thought I would say this, but where is Dianetics when you need it, India just needs some good ole Scientology to inspire them.
And what are the professors of these classes telling these kids?
Professor: So who has something to add on the theory of diminished returns?
Student: Well I was thinking it reminded me a lot of Hitler
Professor: Whoa whoa whoa, what??
Student: Yeah, you know, if you murder all the Jews then there is a diminished return of them infesting our economy, that’s what you meant in the lecture right?
Professor: (Jaw open, speechless)
