I couldn't help but laugh when I first read this. I shouldn't though.

Indian man stabbed to death for refusing to apologize to dog (not The Onion)

Essentially they pulled this guy out of a vehicle by the hair. And demanded he apologise to a dog.
Remember in India, women have even married dogs.
Well this guy refused, so they killed him. It's just ridiculous someone would demand someone apologise to a dog, even if they weren't going to kill him.
ODD to point that out ,is this a generalization based off one incident or many
OP

A very quick google search found 3 Indian Hindus who married dogs. Including a 4 year old girl. It appears to be common enough. Must've been a fun honeymoon.
I pointed it out, because Indians appear to view dogs in a very different way. At least some of them.
Generalization by op ofc. What ya expect? 1 or 2 news of such wacky stuff comes out and people think it must be a normal thing in the entire country.
Maybe read those instead of just reading the title lol? They say those marriages were conducted as ritual to ward of spirits or their future husband to have a long life etc. And 3 results doesn't equate to being a common thing in a country with over a billion people.
If you search 'woman marries dog' on Google you'll get more european girl marries dog than Indian on Google.

Where did I say Indian girls and men marrying dogs is funny? Read a bit. I found it funny that an Indian would actually demand someone apologize to a dog. Not the death.
Lol out of like 1.3 billion people that's significantly less than 1%.
Edit: I just think it's really funny you used 'common enough'
I laugh at some morbid shit but the dude was stabbed to death with a screwdriver. This is just fucked.
Me saying you thought it was funny was about the whole incident not just you generalizing that Indian women marry dogs
The way you worded the op makes it seems as though you thought all of it was funny , you are just now clarifying that you think everything up to the death was funny
Well, fuck. There's memories of dark internet shit I wish hadn't resurfaced.
Horrible event, can't even imagine what posesses someone to do this, letalone over something so fucking stupid.
3 reported cases that you googled...in a country of 1.4 billion...."common enough".
What is this shit? I'm Indian and this is the first time I am reading anything about this. Don't generalise stuff like this man, and most of all it's irrelevant to the topic.

I never said its funny. I said I initially laughed when I read the headline, due to how ridiculous it is. But that is wrong due to the fact someone was brutally murdered. That is literally saying I should not laugh because it aint funny.

Yeah, common enough such that the first google page brought up 3 different cases. You seem to not understand the meaning of the phrase. Common enough does not mean its common. Stop being willfully obtuse.
It may be rare, but it does happen in India. That's just a fact.
I'm at a loss of words here, you call me obtuse for telling you that you are generalising something that you shouldn't.
If you don't mean it's common then don't say it's common enough. If it was common enough you'd think I'd have heard about it and not be surprised since I lived in that country for 20 years.
Which has zero bearing on this topic in any way whatsoever, and there was no woman involved at all, so I have no idea why you'd even bring it up in the first place.
I mean, what you could've said was nothing.
Horrific story, to be sure.
