Toast 16,146 Posted January 29, 2020 2 hours ago, Big Chungus said: I honestly cannot think of a single famous person off the top of my head that is from India who is still alive. Plus I don't think the UK media will cover any deaths in India - whether it's T-Series artists or ex-Gov officials (unless their death was really tragic and/or gruesome).

I was struggling for his name earlier. Om Puri mentioned above was also very much a "oh that guy" when he died, though I didn't recognise the name. Although I don't get why Channel 4 sold East is East as comedy, it's bloody grim. Glad I didn't suggest Art Malik as he was born in Pakistan and that's a whole can of worms... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Toast 16,146 Posted January 29, 2020 I remember Vijay Amritraj from Wimbledon way back in the 70s, that's where I first came across the name. He was in the quarter-finals a couple of times and also played in the doubles with one of his brothers, can't remember which bro though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Toast 16,146 Posted January 29, 2020 Why does everybody send prayers to the bereaved these days? Sending thoughts I get, as in "my thoughts are with them" but are the bereaved supposed to forward the prayers to their chosen deity themselves? It's rather lazy, as if you can't be arsed to pray for them yourself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sir Creep 7,070 Posted January 31, 2020 Hey we're getting closer! A 22-year-old labourer suffocated to death while another was critical after they got down to clean a sump located in Shivajinagar on Saturday morning. The contractor who brought them for cleaning ran away on finding the labourers were motionless. "As bad as that smelled, it was not half as bad as the shit posts on DeathList, particularly the 'Why No Indians' thread," the contractor said in a tweet.

This is a cooked up story in the first place. There is no such casuality in Shivajinagar. I stay near Shivajinagar. 3 hours away. Why do you hate this thread so much? I will soon come up with a comprehensive death list of Indians. Give me some time to do research. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

arghton 6,755 Posted January 8, 2022 https://www.nytimes.com/2022/01/07/world/india-12-booster-shots.html Indian man named Brahmdeo Mandal has received around 12 doses of the covid vaccine by lying to officials, claims his back pain has been cured. Some articles say that he's 65, others that he's 85, according to some Indian articles he's 84 (These "elderly" Indians, you never really know how old they are...) Anyways, what an asshole. Only around 45% of the people in the country have gotten two doses. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
