RC commented that bengali babus had problem with the fans protesting. That is not correct assumption.
Firstly, people need to rise to the fact that protest is one thing, at the same time to take into account lives of others.
Secondly, there is no benagli domination per se in Siliguri or Darjeeling. Siliguri is one of the most multi-cultural centres in India, it abounds in Sikhs, marwaris, gurkhas, other nepalis, bhutiyas, bengalis( regular bengalis and the ethnic bengalis there) , all the communities in more or less equal measure. Nepalis move around as freely as bengalis do. Their marriages and other festivities take place as freely as possible.
What they had to protest was not against bengalis, but against some RADIO JOCKEY sitting somewhere else in the country. And not just Nepalis/Gurkhas, even ethnic bengali from the North bengal region would protest, if some generally-accepted Indian acted too prickly.

Siliguri is a gateway to North East. The demographic status is COSMOPOLITAN. There is no domination of a particular community. Basically it is a possitive town. Yesterdays incident was an abberation. A small altercation was hijacked by the hooligans and the senile adminstration let it go out of hand.
