As I've had to resubscribe to fork and fork-noarchive,
I guess I have to reintroduce myself.  I'm formerly
known as gbolcer at endtech dot com to the FoRK
mailman program, formerly an overposter, and love
soaking up bits through avid reading or scanning
of almost every single list that's got informative to say.
Hopefully all those overpost will get cleared out at
somepoint and fork-archived.

What I understood was that the activists on the train refused to pay for
the food and other items they acquired from the Muslim vendors -- then
taunted them.
That may not be true, but it would put things in a more interesting
light.  Taking food from a small vendor in India and not paying them is
trying to starve them.
It sounded consistent with the ideas and purpose of the train full of
activists.
I'm rarely an apologist for Muslims anywhere.  Yet I find my sympathies
with the Muslims in this case, even after they burned the train.
