Coming to office today, I was waiting for the signal to turn green. There were two cars ahead of me and one behind. As the signal turns green, the one behind me started honking (God knows why). I turned around and signaled him "What?". Idiot was still honking.
And then came a marvelous idea.
I drove at speed of 10-15 Km/h right in front of him and not giving him side at all even when there was no one ahead of me for quite long distance. 
Apparently, idiot was further pissed and started honking insanely. I was really game to not to let him go ahead and teach a lesson. He somehow managed to sneak past doing hand gestures at me. I regained speed and again went right in front of him just to slow down. This continued till his route changed from mine.
What a relief. I hope this makes him a better human.

I agree. We've all got enough "problem people" in our lives. Why add more?

Wrong. There is no lower speed limit unless specified. I can drive at those speeds and it will be legal.

and was there any sign 'don't blow horn'?! There's no rule in India that you can't honk without any reason, so unless there was a sign, he didn't break any rule too.

So you exacerbated a problem, increased the aggression of an already irate driver and drove like a dick.
Nice one.
Has he gone on to kill anyone because of the lack of concentration caused by your increasing his frustration?
Let the dicks pass, don't become one of them.
Had you done that to me I would have been out of the car and kicking your doors in.

Hang on! You chastise him for being a dick (I agree, he is) but then go on to say that if he did it to you, you would act like a dick! But that's what he did, when someone acted like a dick to him...
Is this a case of do what u say not what u do?

This is something that happends all the time.
People from behind honking at the signal make me feel maaaaad too.

Let them pass. It's their anger not yours. If they want to arrive at their destination red-faced and blasting epithets at the world in general then let them. People like that obviously have issues so let them get on with them.

Some time ago, a biker behind me (biker myself) started honking while the signal was still red (still far from turning green).

Unlikely. You just confirmed his conviction that everyone else on the streets is an a**hole who are just on the road to make his life miserable.

Have you ever driven in Bangalore? Everyone here is in hurry and no one reaches on time.

When I lived in Turkey (in the 70s) there was a rule at traffic lights. As soon as the crossing road's light changes from red to amber you must start blowing your horn, especially if you are right at the back of the queue. In Bangalore (2005) this rule still seemed to exist, also that if turning right at traffic lights you must always start from the leftmost lane, especially when more than three lanes each side.

This incident happened in Bangalore, present day. It's become worse than what you would have seen.

If someone is right up behind you it is sensible to leave a bigger gap than normal to the car in front because you cannot brake so hard if something happens, but 10-15kph is pushing it.

You seem to have never driven in India. No rules apply here.

Get out. Walk back. And ask what the problem is. Maybe there's a cat stuck on your bumper (I can hope).
