12/14/2002: Dude on fire

[Undertoad]

Keeping up with interesting protests:

In Srinagar, India, Kashmiri activist Mohammad Ahsan Untoo tries to set himself ablaze as Indian police officers rush to smother the fire. Untoo, who was protesting alleged human rights violations by Indian forces in Kashmir, was not seriously injured.

Now the question is whether this guy is Indian or Paki, and whether he's Muslim or Hindu. Doesn't say but if Paki attitudes are more towards self-immolation and not other-immolation (?), well that's a trend that the world should embrace.

Especially if they don't even manage to off themselves.
