This post intends to say one thing to the protestors of Valentine’s Day, members of Sri Rama Sena group. Sari for chaddi will not stop anyone from enjoying a party. There is no harm celebrating love. What is our own vasanthotsav meant for? It’s a celebration of love and didn’t you know about Lord Krishna who advocated only LOVE and its celebration?
Didn’t you see Krishna celebrating love with radha and 16,000 gopikas. Its well depicted in our own temples. Their love is elevated so much so that we’ve been admiring Krishna, the lover.
Krishna’s style of celebrating love is by far the greatest if you know Hinduism in depth, and Hinduism certainly gets a promotion from Lord Krishna’s policy on love. Anyone to discount that? And FYI Krishna and Rama are only incarnations of Lord Vishnu and its only now that Sri Rama Sena group is trying to deface the otherwise peaceful Hinduism per se.
So my dear Sri Rama Sena friends do not over react! This is just not the way to treat pub culture. Learn that if you suppress the desire (going to pubs) it only gets magnified and people will find routes to satiate the same.
Jai Krishna! Just celebrate the Valentines Day and Spread the message of love Lord Krishna style. Have a great time!

Khadi Saree for every Pink Chaddi-the war between Sri Rama Sena and secularist groups continues..
Last week had been a battering time for Sri Rama Sena group and its chief Pramod Mutalik who bore grunt from all over; the secular groups across India and Karnataka in particular, women groups and even social networking folks online.
Still unperturbed, Sri Rama Sena Chief Mutalik came out public with his plans to disturb the Valentine’s Day 2009 celebrations here. He said his men will spring into action if they find a man and a woman in obscene scenes in public will be forced to marry. He said that his moral cops would carry Mangal Sutras on the big day.
Much to the disappointment, there had been over pour of anger from all sections of the society including senior citizens. And a new campaign called pinkchaddi campaign was launched against moral policing, especially against the Sri Rama Sena who warned people against celebration of Valentine’s Day.
In what is supposedly a hilarious move by the “consortium of pub-going, loose and forward women” a pinkchaddi campaign was launched wherein pink undergarments from all over will be collected and sent as Valentine's Day gift to Pramod Mutalik saab. The consortium remarks that the movement is to show their annoyance for moral policing by Rama Sena and pink under garment will be a symbol of woman’s anger. The movement although kicked off online last Thursday, has now picked up fast on the streets as well.
Obviously, the pinkchaddi campaign irked Pramod Mutalik and his moral hectoring antics continues along the same lines.
In an answer to the pinkchaddi campaign started by a social networking group the Sri Rama Sena Chief said he would return a saree for chaddi as because saree is regarded as symbol of sanskruti and chaddi a symbol of vikruti.
Reiterating on change that is to be brought with the perverted people, Pramod Mutalik says that he is annoyed to see youth being played in the hands of pseudo secularists. As regards to pink chaddi campaign he says that a return of saree for chaddi is perfect to shut the mouths of campaigners. He also said that Sri Rama Sena has no intentions of contesting in the elections and that their motive is to spread word of Hindu culture and its greatness.

Hooliganism by so-called Hindu moral police in Mangalore
As the news trickled in that once again women were assaulted by Hindu moral police in Mangalore, the Amnesia Lounge, I followed the news closely only to literally go into a state of shock. TV channels aired scenes of Hindu literally peeling away women off the pub in Mangalore; I saw the women manhandled beaten and driven out of the pub by who proudly acclaim themselves as Hindu moral police.
These moral police belong to an outfit named Sir Rama Sena (literally mean Lord Sri Rama's brigade). Tell me where in Hindu culture would you see Lord Rama or his disciplines physically attacking or assaulting women? It's such a shameful act by Sri Rama Sena activists what they've done at the Amnesia Lounge Pub and Bar. And, Sri Rama Sena's national president, Pramod Mutalik owned the responsibilty. However, what made me ponder is that Mutalik justifying and substantiating the act further. He remarked, "we are ones who will not allow attack on Hindu culture. He further said "we've got information that they are all drug addicts....." He seem to be justifying that the Sri Rama Sene men did right by beating and driving the women out of the pub and takes pride that they did not molest them.
This Sri Rama Sena is a pro-Hindu organization which has its base in Hubli and it is Pramod Mutalik who floated this after bidding adieu to BJP and Bajrang Dal. I am all glad that the organization celebrates Hindu festivals in grandeur, being a Hindu myself. But this kind of moral policing will bring disgrace to the organization as well as tarnish the image of Hinduism per se which follows the path of tolerance. No where in the Hindu puranas or itihasas do we see women ill treated this way. And certainly will this be the so called Ramrajya?
What this Pramod Mutalik said shocked me. Manhandling a woman is an offence and media has footage of what happened? If the government has any guts arrest those dastardly cowards first.
If not snatching away one's freedom what is this called? And where are we going? The Taliban way, as the Women and Child Development Minister Mrs. Renuka Choudhary puts it? To drink and/or to dance in a pub by a girl/women is entirely her personal choice. Similarly how to dress is her personal choice.
What do you call interfering in one's freedom in the name of culture policing? I think this virus is seriously spreading from Maharasthra to Karnataka and a peaceful city like Mangalore is on world map for all wrong reasons today. CM? Wake up from your slumber! High time you step in and take stern action against the hooligans lest we will see Karnataka/India becoming another Taliban rajya and no Hindu woman will appreciate this, not even the women at home of Sri Rama Sena moral cops.
With due respects to Mutalik Saab!
Does it mean beating women in public protecting Indian culture and women? Give treatment to the roots that are collapsing the Hindu culture. Who are we to treat the symptoms of the problem, heh!
