KOLKATA, India (Reuters) - A protester tried to immolate himself on Saturday as part of a three-week strike by medical staff against higher college quotas for lower castes, but witnesses said he was stopped by police.............In 1990, dozens of upper-caste students burned themselves to death in protest against an increase in quotas for lower castes in government jobs.


When was the last time a white guy in america set himself on fire to protest affirmative action? We can't let the Indians out-glam us.
