Riots have broken out in almost all towns and cities in the Indian state of Punjab after a Sikh guru was killed by a rival group in a temple in Austria.
Thousands of angry protesters have taken to streets, damaging public property and setting trains on fire.

What's the point of damaging property and putting innocent people's lives at risk over here? It's not as if the Austrian embassy will take notice and apologize to them. :|

Torching public property and causing chaos wont bring back the dead!!.... Why dont the agitators understand such simple thing???... Religion/Race is the basis of almost all the WARs in the world.... Need to have more descretion...

These people are REALLY stupid(not the sikhs in general, the people that started all these riots), an important social leader got killed in a foreign country, and they destroy their own property, its like getting beaten at school and destroying stuffs at home, bunch of fools.

Thats Right! It is not related to Sikhism actually.

It is related to Bhagat Ravidas Followers mainly Dalits who Worship their Holy Book and Guru Granth Sahib aswell, and call their Worship Temple as "Gurudwara" aswell

Nope, i never said. I was highlighting the Point that it is not entirely related to Sikhism as it broadcasted by News channels and Reporters and if i speak from the Real Sikhism point of Sikhism, Sikhism doesnt beleive in Casteism ;-)
