Brothers in saffron saris, sisters in pink chaddis– What is UR pick?
This is barter system at its best. A sari in return for a chaddi in return for some thrashing.
So what is common to Sri Ram Sene and the Consortium of Pub-going Loose and Forward Women. There isn’t much difference to choose from except that Sene cronies exhibited scant respect for the laws of the land and spat at civil liberties and democratic rights.
Valentine's pick
It is very easy to stir up passions of mis-guided youth who feel left out by ‘Other India’s pub revelers. It ain’t any difficult to form an internet group, pose with candles and pledge solidarity with victims of various atrocities.
Such public expressions of solidarity seldom serve any purpose.
The likes of Sene and the confederation of self-proclaimed loose women are also bound by a common desire to be somehow catapulted to limelight with gimmicks – they want to be in the thick of spotlight.
These fringe groups have also stifled other voices with equal vehemence – Now it has to be either for or against the pink chaddi and the sari. There is no liberal space, no grey area — either you are with saffron right or pink left.
What the Sene bunch needs is outright thrashing of the similar kind witnessed in Mangalore pubs. Can some one shun the candles and pink chaddis to do that to Muthalik’s cronies?
Don’t bet on any loose confederation – they won’t dare go anywhere outside the kewl environs of the world wide web.
No one is waiting, but this is to inform the stray visitor, the faceless blogger or the unknown netizen that this space is to witness some activity in the days to come. Welcome to those who have nothing worthwhile to do, no horizons to conquer, no goals to work for and no energy worth boasting.
