To drink or not to drink - that is not the question. To mob or not is seriously the point, because political parties in India have lost all pertinent objectives. Ashok Gehlot (CM Rajasthan) says - destroy all pubs and malls, Yediyurappa (CM Karnataka) says - pub culture must be eliminated, eagerly echoed by Modi (CM Gujarat) and many other statesmen as well. Essentially, there is nothing productive worth spending political energy over. Let's not talk sanitation, education, health, infrastructure, corruption, lawlessness, education and topics that constitute progress.
Let us not have protests over corrupt departments like customs, public works, road transport, electricity, water, registrar of companies and several others - you name it, and disinfect them. Let us make up some illogical word like "pub culture" and beat up vulnerable people. What on earth does pub-culture mean anyway and is it as bad as hooch culture, mob culture or lawlessness&corruption culture that is growing in India?
Who needs moral police when the real police force is corrupt, underpaid, overworked and underequiped?
Besides, the National Commission for Women - NCW, takes the cake. If you read the latest NCW report on the Mangalore incident - you will notice a very prominent phrase - "whatever it is...". Check http://www.ndtv.com/convergence/ndtv/story.aspx?id=NEWEN20090081971&ch=1/30/2009%2010:09:00%20PM for the gist. Niramala Venkatesh (investigation committee head) says "the girls were participating or whatever it is" and "pub had to serve food or whatever it is", etc. After all this, whatever it is, it is the fault of the girls themselves! Awesome work NCW, you hit the nail or whatever it is on the head.

The problem Brother is simple....Its us! Some time back, there were people justifying the same group when they attacked churches in Mangalore. Now because it made them sick in the stomach watching women get beaten, they make noise. Some how its funny that we were not moved by people getting killed then!
ReplyDeleteI saw an ad recently....that said, after watching the events in Mumbai the Indian got so patriotic he wanted to go across the border and fight for the country. That same Indian did not feel patriotic when The MNS attacked the School where little children were celebrating...guess what...our Republic Day...why? Because they did not belong to the state! Brother.....the problem is US!
There is no justification for "goondaism" - period. Seems like the mercenaries for these ghastly acts come from similiar or same pool, obviously law and order is failing miserably and needs a comprehensive overhaul
