It has been stated that those who don’t learn from history are condemned to repeat it. Some times when I reflect over 2006 I remember stuff like, “Angry mobs” burnt the Deccan Queen when Ambedkar’s statue was allegedly desecrated. “Angry mobs” entered Kaif’s house and vandalized it during his poor performance at
“Angry Mobs” ???? Who is this “mob”? Who gave some one the right to kill or damage the property of another person just because they felt hurt? Is it that they are safe in numbers? I mean, causing 7 crore worth of damage to the Central Railways on an allegation. Barging into another person’s house and destroying his property just because he was out of form and our “Indian Cricket Team” lost. Are these valid reasons for causing damage to life and property?
Doesn’t it sound strange that a bunch of people who were upset about a rumor could organize for enough petrol to be poured over a bunch of railway carriages and set them on fire? I don’t think so. It sounds more like the handiwork of some people wanting to gain political mileage or letting his sadistic side loose by hiding behind the safety in numbers.
Who is this “mob”? But it seems that we would rather pay a million dollars in taxes to pay for the repairs than try ask the million dollar question.

It's very interesting to disect the Mob Mentality. Its something like the stock market. Some crazy investment here or there can rock the whole market, including some of the most stable stocks.
Probably, same thing happens in a Mob. Some person, instigates it ( more than often, for personal benefits ofcourse ), and even the most rational of folks end up joining it.
Try to interrogate these people individually, and they won't clearly ellucidate why they joined it.
So I wonder if the mob has a mind of it's own.
Might be a weird theory but an interesting one, nevertheless :-)
