Imagine if these disturbances and violence are happened in any of the Asian countries, would English media or ECB let their players to continue their tour?
Sensible answers please.
Should India pull out this tour?

I'm sure they are British by birth, but they follow the teams of their parents heritige, and good on them for that. If white men born in India, and there's been plenty of them over the years, kicked off, you'd be calling them anything but Indian. Lads that follow your team have been misbehaving, so using your own words, they are "thugs". Hence, if your team go home, they contributed to it.

I haven't read the rest but if I'm going to be honest I think UK sports teams wouldn't go somewhere that is in the same situation as London is now. I do not think you could look down on the Indian team for pulling out of this test. However I think leaving the country, while possibly justified, would be a step too far. However, If India were due to arrive in England tomorrow they would be correct in abandoning the tour in my opinion.
I am not Indian, nor a fan of their team, but due to safety concerns I could not possibly condemn the Indian team from pulling out of this tour.

Says it as it is has the right of this. If they are supporting the Indian team over England they certainly feel more Indian than British IMO regardless of what it says on their passport. Same goes for all asians in the UK.

Re 'says it as it as:
I can guarantee you that the people who flown from India to watch the series have not taken part in this violence. Those thugs are English or British kids, raised in your society and your elite police force didn't stop common people from these violent people. If one of them won a gold medal, what do you call him Indian or Asian?
Whoever contributed to it, the safety of Indian cricket team in England tour should be questioned. And I request UN to do something in this law less state.

http://www.un.org/en/contactus/ There you go, get in touch with them. What i call the asians that live here doesn't matter. It's what they call themselves. Why don't you spend your time contacting the people i've given you links to if you feel so strongly about it all? They might reply when they've stopped laughing.

We are supposed to criticize our Government and our Police Force because these mor'ons are behaving like mor'ons? You can justify the efforts of these mor'ons?

Besides, I agreed with you on your main point, why are you trying to be so abrasive?
