Protesting death and accidents

BBC NEWS | South Asia | Two die in Kashmir deaths protest

Protesting deaths and accidents are something very unique to India (or, is it?). I remember when "Thalivar" MGR died in Tamilnadu the streets were filled with rioters, looters and there were a few suicides. More recently we saw the same thing happen when "Anna" Rajkumar died. Mind you both of them died of natural causes.

Now we have protests for a boat accident. Mind you there was nothing wrong with the boat or its personnel. It was just a matter of pure physics - when you put all the weight on one side of a boat the boat will tip.

Do protests, rioting and demonstrations help bring the dead alive? Or, stop a boat from tipping when it is loaded hevily on one side? I guess the dead are lucky. They did not have to see such stupidity being committed in their honor.
