More than a dozen people were killed and many more injured in a crush at a huge religious festival in northern India’s Uttar Pradesh state on Wednesday. India’s Kumbh Mela is a Hindu festival held by the banks of the Ganges river. The stampede appears to have happened when people who were sleeping on the river bank were trampled on by other worshippers who were trying to bathe in the holy waters.

    If this is the only place you would agree with me, you must be a maga Nazi. Otherwise, we have more in common that you’d like to admit.

      I shud explain

      This is the only place where I would agree that We can blame god. For I don’t think god exists. But if you go for a god then you shud accept what it doles out.

      I don’t know you, and you don’t know me. Maybe we have much more things in common than this. Maybe we won’t see eye to on other stuff. So I dont assume a label for you I do expect the same from you.
