Sad and saddening.

Ever since the Golden Temple Incident (Amritsar) and the killing of Ghandi by the Sikh bodyguards, it MAY be time to seek some independence from Greater India.
Recently 2 states were created so it is feasible for a Sikh nation to form. So much for Peace and Love of one's fellow man. om svasti siddham!

Not Ghandi-please it's Gandhi.
India is one of the most diverse societies anywhere. Yet it's young democracy has survived many challenges since 1947.
The recent fracas at the Temple was between the administrators of the temple and a small group that demanded greater voice
in the proceedings.
Indira Gandhi made a big mistake at the temple, then things settled down. The Sikh element in the Indian army is huge.
A young and huge democracy can be noisy and bend without breaking.

Apparently, they've forgotten how to use swords they've become ceremonial for too long.
Old men flailing.

Not that I want anyone hurt, in which case, it's probably better that such stubborn ignorance not be skilled or blindly successful in acts of violence.

Dubai - The Dubai Police have arrested four Arab suspects, including two Emiratis, in connection with a fight that left one of them seriously injured. The suspects, two of whom are Saudis, used knives and swords in the fight that reportedly began over an accidental physical contact outside the washroom of a hotel, the police said.

Major-General Khalil Ibrahim Al Mansouri, Assistant Commander-in-Chief of Dubai Police for Criminal Investigation, said a security guard of the hotel in the Al Rigga area notified the police on Wednesday about the fight. A team from Al Murraqabat police station was dispatched to the site, where the suspects aged between 25-29 were found injured. They were rushed to Rashid Hospital.

The interrogation of the injured Saudi revealed that the brawl started over an accidental physical contact outside the washroom of the hotel. “One of the suspects’ shoulders brushed with another. This led to an exchange of insults, followed by an argument and a fight,” Al Mansouri said.

In the video it is hard differentiate between the two sides, all of the girls seem to be hitting anyone who gets in their way.

One girl wearing a grey tracksuit is holding a blade, she hits another girl with it whilst screaming at her. Shockingly people can be heard laughing in the background as this is happening.

Others kick a girl to the ground then start whipping her with their weapons when she is on the floor.

Someone is heard shouting ‘you are not my friend’ in Chinese, but it is unclear who exactly is saying this.

Reportedly no one was seriously injured during the fight, and the case is under investigation.
