How does the shaved head thing protest that, exactly?

Come to think of it, how does one go about protesting being dead?

That is some sleazy stuff, killing your relatives on paper just to inherit land. More honest just to kill them.

They even have a union: All India Federation of the Dead. What's next, the Dead Hooker's Guild?

edit:actually it is a political party! "On Nov 7, vote Dead." The Deadocrats.

Says Lal Bihari: "I now believe it was my destiny that I became a dead man." Time Asia link.

Neal Stephanson was right, life in the Far East is like a crazy comic strip at times.

Well, I've never seen a dead person shave their head. And they'll look more like Ghandi to boot.

Nah. It'll be the Dead Poets Society.
