I think it has something to do with being depressed :). Whenever people get depressed they think a lot and may come up with better answers and decisions.

Ah...I think I've got it...maybe because I've given more than three links within the comment. Anyway here it goes again, my earlier comment deleting a couple of links:

"Actually, this is not the only incident. In the year 2006 in the Andaman Islands, a tribe called the sentinelese (believed to be the direct descendants of the first human race straight from Africa), did the same thing. When a copter flew across their island they were hostile and tried to bring it down using bow and arrows. Do read the below links for this piece of info.

Hi alex...I commented on this post yesterday but I am not able to view the comment at all.

I'll really appreciate to know why it hasn't appeared here :)

Awesome. Congrats on that :)

This is something thats happening for a long long time. And until now the real significance has escaped me, even though being an Indian. However, its quite funny :) . I believe it not to be racist but a way of showing that things are not alright between the two countries. And it has become a tourist spectacle right now and I am sure both countries don't want to stop this right now...maybe waiting for the other country to take the first step.
