1907 Bellingham mob forced East Indian workers from town

Poignant story of "Hindoos" being lynched by Lou Dobbs' predecessors circa 1907.
Reader Sameer had posted the link in a comment a couple of weeks ago.
Thought this is worth a separate post by itself, particularly when Hindus are
being targeted for lynching in their own country in the present day.

There is a article on farmer suicides in India on Alternet (they are leftist and are discussing this in the context of the Iraq war - but still it is good to see some coverage)

Here is a good link from Harpers Magazine in 1862 about British Atrocities in India
