An Indian man who was knocked unconscious during a stampede of thousands of religious pilgrims on a steep Himalayan mountain path woke up as doctors were preparing to perform his autopsy, the Times of India reported.
Mange Ram, 19, lost consciousness in the stampede that killed 150 people and was triggered by rumors of a landslide leading to a Hindu temple devoted to the goddess Naina Devi.
Ram awoke in the hospital morgue Sunday in the northern Indian state of Himachal Pradesh.
"When I woke up, I was in the middle of a row of bodies waiting for post mortem," he told the Times. "My throat was parched and I asked for water. Towering over me the doctors and nursing staff at Anandpur Sahib Civil Hospital looked dazed. They must have been surprised to see a dead man come alive like that."
Sat Pal Aggarwal, a doctor on the pilgrimage, said little was done to see if victims of the stampede were still alive.
"People were dumped quite haphazardly into trucks without following any procedure or checking if they were alive," he told the Times.
Despite the huge loss of life, the pilgrimage continued only hours after the corpses had been cleared, according to the newspaper.

Another example of why I consider India to be culturally retarded and a developing 3rd world country!

Ahh..., gee, I don't seem to recall "that" happening in the US!

I'd say it's retarded not to check to see if someone's alive before dumping them as a corpse.

No doubt it's beyond ridiculous, but I'm not about to judge any entire country based on that news story.

Neither am I, except that I read far too many of these "culturally retarded" stories from such 1st world wannabes such as India.

Apparently, it's not considered "retarded" in India!

I like how you quote culturally retarded, like your quoting some newspaper or magazine that has used that phrase. Sorry, you're the only one who's ignorant enough to use that. I feel sorry for you.

Well I think that pretty much set him in his place, LOL.

The OP analyzes the story from this arrogant perspective, only looking at the error in other cultures compared to the US, as to only read it to make himself feel better about his own country and degrade others. To me that is a sign of insecurity as well as ignorance.
