Underwear Protest At Indian Attack

More than 5,000 people, including men, have joined the Facebook group, which calls itself the Consortium of Pub-going, Loose and Forward Women.
The group says it will give the pink underwear to Sri Ram Sena (Army of Lord Ram) on Valentine’s Day on Saturday.
It was blamed for the bar attack in the southern city of Mangalore last month.
Pramod Mutalik, who heads the little known Ram Sena and is now on bail after he was held following the attack, has said it is “not acceptable” for women to go to bars in India.
He has also said his men will protest against Valentine’s Day on Saturday.

Last month’s attack in Mangalore, which was filmed and then broadcast on national television, shocked many Indians

Television pictures showed men chasing and beating up the panicking women. Some of the women, who tripped and fell, were kicked by the men.
Around 30 people, including Mr Mutalik, were later arrested.
Women’s groups strongly condemned the attack, which was described by the country’s Women’s Minister Renuka Chaudhury as an attempt to impose Taleban-style values.
The Hindu nationalist BJP government in Karnataka state distanced itself from the attack. It said it had nothing to do with Sri Ram Sena.
But a BBC correspondent says that right-wing Hindu vigilante groups loosely linked to the BJP are active in many parts of India and have in the past targeted Muslim and Christian minorities as well as events such as Valentine’s Day.

^ This is the only way to take on these goons. Unless the public rises against them, they will continue imposing their stupid radical views.

Then why dont you go ahead and edit the post. You are happy that a member of the Sri Ram Sena is here. I am basically from Mangalore and apalled by these guys. Mangalore was always a cosmopolitan city and will always remain so. The Pub beating incident was the outcome of an extortion racket these guys are running. There are lots of pubs in Mangalore where women go to have a drink. This particular pub was targetted because the owner refused to pay the extortion amount. Their claim that it was because of culture was just hogwash
