Indian logic

Sometimes feels like painful ignorance. On seeing the headline "Speeding train runs over 35 people in Bihar" in an Indian paper you might think that the train was going too fast, or in some way at fault. Only late in the article do you discover the small detail that the train wasn't actually scheduled to stop at the station. In India if you stand in the railway track and get hit my a moving train, the train is at fault. In respect of this logic the pilgrims burned the train and seriously beat the driver.
