republican and I are on the same wavelength here. The start of the riot was an emotional response aggravated by the presence of a mob. When someone hurts you, you want to hurt him/her. A logical reaction was what the so called intellectuals were looking for but they got the wrong one. Coz Nepalis are humans too and humans have feelings which get hurt. And when the miniscule amount of pride and dignity we have, has been mauled, to be sane, to get all the hatred out you have to get the axe and hit that tree in your backyard. And that was exactly what happened.
