pt.7 Hindu group bar attack: India's morality and culture

part 7 of 8: On January 24 activists of the Sri Ram Sene (SRS) attacked women at a pub in Mangalore. The event that is being called India's shame goes to the heart of the clash between tradition and modernity in India. While many have condemned the violent attack, there seems to be a consensus between politicians that pub culture is immoral and is ruining Indian society.

However, women across India have protested that they have a right to go to pubs. What does the Mangalore incident mean to the Indian society? Are we genuinely fearful for the loss of Indian values? Or is the Indian society still regressive and narrow minded?

The issue was debated on CNN-IBN's special show Mangalore Morality and Culture. On the panel of experts were Actress Divya alias Ramya, Senior BJP leader, advocate and chairperson of the Karnataka Women's Commission Prameela Nesargi; former MP, Rajya Sabha, member of BJP BP Singhal; member of the band Indian Ocean, Rahul Ram; Editor, Manushi Madhu Kishwar and Editor, Marie Claire India, Shefalee Vasudev.

The heart of man is deceitful and wicked.

That is about the long and the short of why this Earth sucks.

Drinking can help you forget that for a night, but that's about it.

India needs to find a enemy that all can get behind and may I suggest it isn't drinking women.

If drinking women is your enemy then you all must be a bunch of pansies.
