Ok, India has a passion for Cricket and it's no surprise that these things have happened. No wonder David Lloyd said "Look out India if you lose!". However, as to why they go to these extremes it is hard to say though with a population of over one billion I guess they have a large number of fanatics who take it too seriously.
