When Is A Politician's Wife Statue Sacred?

Submitted by Khalid on Tue, 2006/07/25 - 20:18

Hindu extremists have rioted in Mumbai. The reason: a statue of the late wife of a political leader was found vandalized. The party is called Shiv Sena, and is (unsurprisingly) right-wing, and the statue belonged to Bal Thackeray, the party's leader.

The riots torched at least one bus and forced several shops to close.

The sad part is that a former speaker of the Parliament, Manohar Joshi of the Shiv Sena party, has declared this act as vandalism against Hindus and Hindusim.
