Our great leaders...

Yeah Right!!!

The highly orthodox vedic-age views and tomfoolery which constitute the Indian political scenario, have been brought out by a recent incident not far from here... On 24th Jan, a dozen guys from the Sri Ram Sena (SRS) entered a bar/restaurant and assaulted the women sitting there. Reasons??

• Not dressed decently ( Implying the lady wasn't covered from head to toe)
• Mixing with men of other faith (Last time i checked, India was secular and free. Right??)
• Consuming alcohol. (And surely people over 18 yrs of age can drink legally. Be it men or women.)

BUT NO. Its against the Indian culture. Caste system, purdah and male domination should be maintained.

Here's an interesting quote:

It is not our culture. If it goes this way I don't think India will progress

-Ramadoss

(Union Health Minister)

I re-he-he-he-healllllyyy don't think so. Its orthodox people like these ministers that fail to help in India's progress.

You see not everyone sits comfy in their offices, doing nothing, accepting bribes for illegal stuff, orchestrating scandals and conspiracies, travelling VVIP everywhere and having a servant for every small task. Normal people, the general public; they work hard to sustain themselves and their families. And since they are doing work, they are entitled to getting a break, having fun, be it so if its whilst chatting over a few beers. There is nothing wrong with that.

We've seen a lot of  "Jago Grahak Jago" ads on TV. I guess we need to make a "Jaago Minister, Jaago" series, and telecast it especially for our oh-sooo-not honourable ministers.

It is a disgrace that people like Pramod Mutalik (national president of Rashtriya Hindu Sena) are even tolerated as human beings, let alone being respected and promoted as a leader.

His immediate reaction to the incident: "I apologize if such a thing as happened. The mode of execution was wrong."

The group of guys were actually meant to assault the men who brought the women in.

Some of Mutalik's statements and activities are so absurd!! He hailed and celebrated the Babri Mazjid demolition. He supported those involved in the Malegon blasts because they were fighting "Islamic Terrorists". When standing for elections, he said in his speech that he doesn't want "non-Hindu" people to vote for him. This guy is a time bomb waiting to explode. He has over 100 cases filed against him within just 8 years. The law should put an end to such religiously biased people, who are creating communal tensions and disrupting public peace in a secular, all-religion-accommodating country like India.

The CM of Karnataka is equally hopeless in this case, as his stint as CM would lie in jeopardy if he condemned the RSS which is part of his coalition group.  And of course nothing is more important to a minister than his "kursi", not even the people that elected them.

Therefore, as expected of the CM, he agrees with the Sene Activists and condemns "pub culture". However, this does not mean that the government will stop issuing new licences or cancel existing ones. There is no restriction on friends, family and couples attending pubs.  WHAT THE HELL IS PUB CULTURE THEN?????

Once again  none of the politicians have an answer to that question. BUT, nonetheless, they are against  PUB CULTURE.

For the record, I hate Indian Politics. The entire System. I neither support Left, Right or Centre. However, I wish to point out that the BJP has withdrawn 54 cases against Pramod Mutalik and yet claim nothing to have to do with him. This is not a pro-Congress comment, its just Anti-political.

And also the wierdest demands are being fielded by organizations these days. They want India to be called a religious state, not a secular state. They want India to be registered as a Hindu nation in the UN accounts. These are just to name a few. Whatever happened to a secular India, where people befriend people because they are people and not because they are of same caste or religion or other crap.

I would like to end this post by appealing to the youth of this great nation, not to fall into the traps of these "religious institutions". We are educated, civilized people and have the power to shape our country's future. Let us take upon ourselves the need to educate the rural masses, for they are the ones that unknowingly support these inhuman, restless, jobless and good-for-nothing religious activists. Thank you.
