                                               SO, WHERE WAS THEIR GOD THEN?

BBC news has reported that at least 60 pilgrims have been killed in a stampede near a Hindu temple in Central India. Thousands were apparently gathered at the Ratangarh Temple for a religious festival - probably similar to the festival they attend in a small Surrey village each year, but without clogging up minor roads and making locals feel like strangers in their own county!  No doubt we will get used to it given time.....

Getting back to India, and oh how I wish they would, it appears that panic broke out as crowds of pilgrims tried to cross the Sindh river, which is fairly close to the temple.  Most were killed in the stampede, while others drowned after jumping off the bridge.  Stampede?, Stampede?  We gave the world a word and system designed to combat stampeding, it is called queuing, if people cannot understand something as basic a courtesy as that then no wonder their god wasn't there when needed.

Thinking about it, he probably washed his hands of them in the River Sindh - which, I suspect, many of them had!
