I just heard about this today.
Apparently a caste thing. It happened in a temple which annoys me but worse so is the fact that they were warned violence could happen. I guess that means they knew what they were doing but, I don't know, I thought that times had changed. The worst bit is I have family in Amritsar although I don't think anything bad will happen to them.
Riots have broken out across the Indian state of Punjab after a a preacher from an Indian sect was killed by a rival Sikh group in Austria.
Within hours of the incident in Vienna, thousands of Sikhs took to the streets, clashing with police and setting fire to buildings, vehicles and a train.
At least one man was killed when the security forces opened fire on crowds near the city of Jalandhar, police say.
...
In the Sikh holy city of Amritsar, police fired tear gas after protesters burnt dozens of buses.

Edit: It's politics. It's always politics.

I didn't think this would be said in my lifetime, but you muggers are a violent lot...

Never piss off an Sikh. I've always known that.
edit: And it's the Indian women you really have to look out for. They will come at you without any warning.
