The Mangalore Pub Incident and Reactions
Background information on this incident is available here : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2009_Mangalore_pub_attack
Videos are available aplenty in YouTube. Lets keep aside the fact where this happened and think about what happened. A bunch of guys ruthlessly slapping girls and winding them down on floor. Question : Is this is how they uphold the culture of India?
Now lets bring the fact where it happened. It happened in a pub where allegedly girls where consuming alcohol and dancing with boys. Mmmmm...whats wrong? I don't see anything illegal. Last time I checked India was a democratic country governed by the constitution for rights and IPC for legal issues. Neither of'em are laid based on a CULTURE nor they impose any on them.
Interesting fact is that those guys who attacked the pub where clad in denim, cargos and t-shirts. I don't see how that is adherence to "the culture" and going to pubs is not.
An intersting reaction to the incident is Pink Chuddy Campaign :http://thepinkchaddicampaign.blogspot.com/
I said interesting. But that was a little extra forward.
