Protesting in India

I have been in India for the last 3 months, and during that time Occupy Wall Street was occupying everything and in India a series of protests have made the news. Except these protests, how to say it nicely, are really insane:

And these were just the protests reported in the popular press. There are undoubtably many more protests which happen across the subcontinent which aren’t reported in the daily papers.

I challenge you to imagine the situation of a disgruntled man in the West, upset at some injustice, brings a bag of live cobras to the government building and unleash them on hapless bureaucrats.

This why India is amazing – as long as you aren’t in the office when the bag of snakes is unleashed.
