Comments on: How An Indian Actor Ruined My Day http://sixmeatbuffet.com/archives/2006/04/13/how-an-indian-actor-ruined-my-day/ This blog was filmed before a live studio audience Tue, 07 Feb 2012 10:20:40 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Land of Lime » The Bangalore behavior http://sixmeatbuffet.com/archives/2006/04/13/how-an-indian-actor-ruined-my-day/comment-page-1/#comment-12752 Land of Lime » The Bangalore behavior Fri, 14 Apr 2006 05:07:48 +0000 http://sixmeatbuffet.com/archives/2006/04/13/how-an-indian-actor-ruined-my-day/#comment-12752 [...] But I am not very sympathetic to two other sentiments that were expressed.

But they never put a picture of this Rajkumar in the byline of the article... Hummm... People rioting over a faceless person! Are these Hindus suddenly going crazy on us?
