You don't really need other's absence to mourn for the dead. You can very well do it otherwise if you really want to.

Scold yourself becuse you could not help those who died.
I don't understand all this hype when Americans lose their life. (with all respect to the indian professor who died, the point I am trying to make him here is something different) Is an American's life more precious than anyone else? Is it more precious than an Indian's, an asian's? They made a huge hype after the 9/11. Sure more than 4000 people lost their lives, but when people in other parts of the world die that is not big news. It is not a big news when 100s die in train accidents in India, in bomb blasts in Iraq and Afganistan, out of starvation in Africa and so on... But when few Americans or the British die, the world comes to a standstill.

Hi Shanoj,
You have a very valid point there. I guess it is the way the respective govts in asia, india react to the killings , i.e as if the killings are a normal thing.

everbody's life is important including American's. At this time when 32 lives are lost, this is not the topic to rise.

Dude, My point is not that I don't feel sad that these students lost their life, but that we don't take it that seriously when our people die. OK, more than 30 people died in this incident, but do you know many more die every day in Iraq or in Somalia? Do you show the same sympathy to them?

I am very sorry to say... YES.. We people do not care about our lives. Since we are more than a billion, we do not mind it at all. Every where innocent people are dying in India. We will speak for one or two days and we will forget the whole story & get diverted from that easily. There are many examples.. Recent one is about the Bomb blasts @ Mumbai.
We must know the value of the life of fellow Indian first

In US and UK everyone having insurance. thats why doctors help them without thinking abt the money(whether patient can pay the bill or not).
For Enrolling your name in hospital you need to give your insurance detail.
Don't give false information.(Showing US is great)

In US and UK -they WILL treat you without asking for insurance details. Even illegal immigrants are given complete treatment without having any insurance.
The bill is sent later. Those who have insurance, the insurance company pay. Those that dont, are covered by charitable trusts - they never have to pay from their pockets.

5 minutes are over now i am typing this message post 1 p.m.
Rather than talking nonsense like politics,OBC, Duck,Hen etc we should express our condolence or keep mum. What would you say if your own father,unlce,sister,brother,mother etc. is a victim? We should at least try to become human beings in such times. And also we should look for the solution as it would have happened due to something. The same can happen in India also.
Every thing you should not made cast based. After all are human. We respect the human values especially in Europe countries. Don't make "Loganathan" belongs which community after all he was India and we have to slute for his profession. We honour that Americans have faith over Indian Professors who have excellent brain to teach million of students in USA.

I am an Indian based in the US for 17 years. While there are occasional issues of racism, it can be generalized that Indians have their own niche in the US education system. The fact that an Indian died in this shootout is a sad day for all Indians, independent of community and caste. My heart-felt condolences for the bereaved.

True sprit you have expressed, but in India everybody make it in cast based only. Right from Politicans to Government Offices, it is sad for us. I agree there is casual such incidents. It is just like indians having pens like rifle /pistol peoples are having their pocket and you also agree law can't prevent them to buy such arms and amunations.

Dear Who will do, can we do or will americans will accept? in fact americans only promoted such type of incidents in many countries in Black countries, Africa and rest part of world. Now it become more strong USA not able to control over it. I am sure this destroy all the countries one by one and we have to silently watch all these things
big name university. Silly and small activity. May be big universities have big politics and make everyone there small people and educations is in in the graveyard or junkyard.

professors are not having a security in home land it self.I think u are aware of ujjain where ABVP leaders killed their own professor.
i should say that our ministers should get the Exact numbers and details as they can get and enjoy the time passing activity for them in india, here some people can earn 300-400rs/day by getting food for one time and whiskey for night for gathering in a rally against this happening, and this is an urgent requirement that some parties should come forward arrange jobless persons and get organise good ralley against it, which can provide some food for atleast to some people in india for atleast one day
