According to TOI, any ethnic group classified as Indians should have a tie to India. [Exhibit 1]
BRASILIA: Police in Brazil’s Amazon rain forest are investigating three native Indians suspected of murdering and eating a 21-year-old handicapped man in a rare case of cannibalism, local authorities said on Tuesday.
This story is probably a Brazilian equivalent of man marries dog stories from India, meaning it probably never happens and when it does the international media jumps on it like it was a common thing in Brazil. But I digress.
Apparently the good folks at India’s leading newspaper have decided that any ethnic group even indigenous tribal Brazilians should be featured in the Indians Abroad section of TOI online since they have the word “Indians” in their name. Thankfully they refer to indigenous tribes as “Native Americans” here in the United States, otherwise we would be hearing a whole lot of Indian casino stories in the Indians Abroad section of TOI online.
Update: It appears someone at TOI realized and this article has since been removed/moved from the Indians Abroad section of TOI online.
Update 2: TOI appears to have removed the above story from their website completely. However, Amit Varma of India Uncut also blogged about the same topic. Google appears to have cached the results but unfortunately not the page.
Q. Hypethetically speaking, what would cannibal (Desi) Indians call their meal?
A. Human tikka masala.
