Mangalore turmoil...

Disclaimer: All material presented in this post are my own personal opinion. I don't intend to hurt or please anybody. I aint have any relation or affiliation towards any organization.

Another political post though I didn’t wish to come up with one so early but I am forced to. The recent act of hooliganism in Mangalore on the eve of Republic day forced me to flash some light on the ground realities. In our culture ever since the ancient Vedic periods we have always had respect for women and her status. Even the devilish Ravan didn’t dare to touch Sita without her consent. But on the eve of celebrations of the Indian republic, on the eve of upholding the rights and duties of every men and women, it truly was saddening to see such a horrifying act of vandalizing our culture by targeting women by the so called protectors of our ‘culture’(ironical)Shriram Sena(better of as Ravan Sena). We have seen this news breaking our TV sets continuously as if Indo-Pak war broke out! This has led to the worldwide discussions regarding the moral policing and its effects. What I intend to scribble here is, were those molested girls “sacha!!?”

Since I hail from Mangalore, we have come across a lot of ground realities. It’s said that girls were allegedly heavily doped and were not able to stand on their feet and the pub was no different from a cabaret. Now, is this what the morality we are speaking about? News channels are making a huge fuss out of the incident regarding the moral policing by the hooligans and branding them as Indian version of Taliban? But why are they not covering the act of immorality, the act of having drugs, the act of dancing nude? Are we living in Vegas? We all complained about the violations of personal rights/human rights when girls were molested. We all wondered whether Ram Sena goonda’s had any affiliation/affection to their mothers and sisters. But, but at the same time did we wonder the case of doped girls? Why are we not criticizing the violations of the fundamental duties by these doped girls? On any day be it after 50 or 100 springs down the line, I don’t want my kids/sisters to booze, fag or dope. Where on the earth its given doping is good, promiscuity is legal and bashing the dopers and whores are bad? Indian media and human right activists are all in full throttle whining in the name of violation of human rights. But who the shit are these activists to whine? What do they mean by human rights? Where the hell were they lost when hundreds of our innocent sisters and girls were raped in Nandigram, Assam and Kashmir?

Human rights shouldn't be meant only for the elites or some sections of the society and religion. What Ram Sena did was utter shameful, they were just seeking attention as pure attention mongers, they neither had any purpose nor did they serve any purpose by vandalizing the pub. Moral policing doesn’t mean they can hit/smash anybody who walks against their ‘culture’ and also on the contrary, personal freedom doesn’t mean you have the right to roam nude and get doped and expect world not to take a note of it. On a finishing note, I being a responsible citizen, criticize both the acts, neither of them were “sacha”. Hope these acts wont REPEAT....:)
