I am proud of my country for various reasons. Its varied culture, variety of languages, dialects and still unity for what it is known. But why the hesitation in welcoming new culture or a new thought.
I am a hindu Brahmin and a vaishnavaite. I believe in god Vishnu one of whose incarnations is god Ram. Sri Ram is known for his trueness to his wife, virtousness and honesty. And some people are creating havoc in the name of the same Ram. They have terribly misused his name.
The sequence of incidents that have happened in Mangalore in Karnataka, India have brought a huge shame for India. A group of girls were attacked and molested by a group of men from a Hindu organization called Sri Ram Sena. Its vice-president has been arrested after three days of the incident and the delay owing to his political connections.
First in first, violence of any sort is not welcome for any reason whatsoever. Further it is no one's business to go and stop anybody from going to pub or doing anything until it affects someone. It is up to the family of girls to question them or deal with the matter. And all pub goers do not consume alcohol or drugs. Men also visit pubs. In fact men can be much more devastating to the general public. Most (almost all) of the drunken driving culprits are men. So, infact men should first be stopped from this.
I am a teetotaller and am aware of the illeffects of alcohol and drugs. But moral policing is not the solution for the current problem. Late or no legal actions against the accused, and gimmicky remarks even from the so called secular political parties have only worsened the matter. The head of the group behind all these is feeling proud of whatever has hapened. He went on to say that girls are like his sisters. And this is the way he treats his sisters. He aleady has a large number of legal cases against him. So he is no angel.
I think India must get rid of these "internal terrorists" first. This will give us a lot of confort an concentration in tacling the main issue of cross-border terrorism. I dont want to post videos of this incident. I am deeply saddened, shocked. If this is the way we respect our women, then there is no way our soeciety can flourish. We need to change this.
I only remember Obama's speech when he took oath - "One is only known by what he /she creates, not what he/she destroys...." and "Change - Yes we can....". I think that more pressure on the administration and appeals to them would help in bringing the perpetrators of this heineous act to justice and would create a better place to live in for now and forever.
