A guy was putting his hand on his co-workers' knees! Often enough that people scurried from him! It's clear the implication is made that this is just a "Hindu" thing.
That's wrong. It's not a Hindu thing. It's offensive to say it is. And the idea that my comments saying so are being flagged is also offensive.
Comments like Eh... Can't we just bomb them as usual? ;-) are the ones that violate HN guidelines and should be flagged.
Imagine the horror of seeing two men walking holding hands because they are just friends. Many cultures have it where adult male friends hold hands and it just means that.
Dude you have no information, I can't sincerely understand how you think you can have such detailed understanding of the situation.
Why would I need more information?

I am also really surprised that you are being downvoted for this. This is not a cultural thing at all and assuming it away is terrible.
