The 38-year-old Indian American engineer


Indian-American? He was a citizen? All mention of his religion is left out of the article. Wouldn't have been done if he was a right wing Christian fundamentalist.

He was turning his life around and hoping to be a big rap star. Or Bollywood star. Or something.

Because all mention of his name is left out, I assume he is Muslim.

Seems he was quite diligent and ruthless in the USA as well.

“Because all mention of his name is left out, I assume he is Muslim”

Ancestory.com lists that last name as Hindu, maybe there are exceptions.

The sister of the estranged wife he murdered says he wasn't Muslim, or any religion at all.

http://www.cbsnews.com/news/sister-ashley-hasti-wife-of-ucla-shooter-mainak-sarkar-could-do-anything-she-dreamed-of/

"Two other things I want to say regarding things I've seen on social media: No, he wasn't a Muslim or religious at all," Alex Hasti wrote.

The estranged wife was a year away from completing medical school.

However, this psychotic murderer was not an Indian-American, as the posted article from SFGate claims. He was granted a green card a couple years ago.

The murderer held a Masters in aeronautical engineering from Stanford and a PhD in engineering from UCLA. He made a blog post in March claiming that Klug (the professor he murdered) had stolen code from him and given it to another student.

My guess is that this guy was psychotic.

Uh, you know this how?

I’ve worked with more Indians than I’d care to count. Haven’t met a Muslim one yet.

“I’ve worked with more Indians than I’d care to count. Haven’t met a Muslim one yet.”

Very true. All the Indian Muslimes went into Pakistan when it was formed out of Indian territory. Bangladesh was originally East Pakistan. Both were set up as places for all the Muslimes on the Indian Subcontinent to go.

The second sentence of the article says his name is Mainak Sarkar. Fast search around the net indicates he did not practice any religion.

I'm thinking drugs or psycho.

Same here. Paki, yes, but not Indian.

They’re out there. Per Wikipedia: “Islam is a minority religion in India, with 14.2% of the country’s population or roughly 172 million people identifying as adherents (2011 census).”
