RAMA SMILES [ONE MORE FEATHER ON THE CAP OF FANATIC HINDUISM AND RABID CULTURALISM]

Two days before, there was a Tv coverage on the brutal incident of the Mangalore pub attack. A group of about  forty young ruffians, in the name of acting for the just cause of protecting Indian culture, marched towards the Mangalore pub, shouted against the so called betrayers of Hindu tradition in obscene words, vandalized the pub, chased and molested the innocent girls, drove out the entire group with the full presence of media and finally, they were satisfied as having participated in the Anti-aparthied movement of Nelson Mandela. Some even go to the extent of defining the combing operation as “RAMA SMILES”. Very well, what can I say about this? INDIA SHINES. There are also other aspects that need to be worried about.

           First, the media is well informed about the attack. Even a group of media persons came to the spot well in advance to shoot the atrocities in live. Not only the media should directly picturise the social realities, it is also their social responsibility to prevent the riot. They should have atleast informed the local police by spending a one-rupee coin in a local Telephone booth. If they are not willing to spend their hard earned money, atleast they can beg for a one rupee-coin from the near by passers and do that. Is this the point where the competitive journalism has landed itself? Are they not ashamed? What happened to their ethics in mass journalism? If you media people do not do anything, and remain as a silent spectator, you are also the perpetrators of mass crime.  Do you view the general public as mere consumers? So, it is the time for the administrative and the police machinery to take stringent actions against these irresponsible media thugs for not sharing the information with the police in advance.

           Second, dear victims of the Mangalore attack, consuming alcohol in a pub is a legal activity. There is nothing wrong in it. In this democracy, you have each and every right to live a life the way you like. But, in most cases, the pub going girls are always accompanied by the male counterparts, may be boy friends or something similar like that. What happened to them, when the mob attacked? Why do you have a friendship or company with these coward Romeos when they fly off the incident, not even showing a single form of resistance. Atleast, in this Valentines day, select some one who is really brave and help you in your tight corners. Never ever become a victim once again in your life time.

           And finally, to the activists of  ”SRI RAM SENA”. Do not aim for the cheap publicity like this. There are so many pressing issues in each and ever corners of this country that deserves attention. There are loads of people deprived of  food, shelter, economic, political and social status. Take up their cause. Work for them. Do not indulge in these uncivilised acts any more. Of course, Pramod Muthalik went to the extent of justifying this horrible incident as a measure to save “Mothers, sisters and daughters” [MSDs here after]. You can ensure that your own MSDs are brought up in the tradition as your like. You can grow your MSDs as you like. You can curtail the rights of your MSDs. You can ensure that nothing offensive to the tradition(like alcohol) enter in any of their physical cavities(like mouth). But do not extend this immoral policing to other MSDs.

           The centre piece of the story is the debate of “BUDDHA SMILES VS RAMA SMILES”. Of course, when ever our Indian nuclear experiments succeed Buddha smiles. When ever these erotic savage occurs Rama smiles. Once Rama smiled in Tamilnadu, Sethusamudram project has been putoff. Now Rama smiled in Karnataka, girls have been curtailed of their rights in public places. If Rama continue to smile in other parts of India, what can I say then…?INDIA IS NOT ENOUGH.

  1. Hello kaushik,

    I appreciate your analyze/thoughts regarding this issue.you had shared three points with us.I fully agree with u the points one and three.

    Second thought,girls can use their rights(legal alcohal or pub) but they should take in mind about our culture.They should take the right things to grow self and our country.Why thsy should take those type activities.Parents should act proactively and they should guide them to the proper way.

    Indian should think about rama smiles.

  2. hi its a very balanced analysis...ur comment on the three parties to the incident are very pertinent across various situations.. Usage of MSDs and physical cavities is very captivating.. how symbols like rama and buddha are used these days evoke a smile in me and this shows our misplaced understanding and priorities...
