Much Ado about Nothing!

Is it me, my paper or… Guys/(girls too) please help me know as to whats wrong with who!

Couple of day before, in the paper the front page talks about Pakistan admitting its involvement in Mumbai attacks (which speaks the gravity of the situation for both countries) and very close to it with same importance is given Muthaliks – Pink chaddi  & his khadi sari news.. By now you all know what the whole thing is about! The next day same thing confronts me in the front page – Muthalik and his sena going haywire about V-day in other parts of Karnataka, being calm in Bangalore, Bajrang Dal being the berserk forceful matchmaker somewhere and being the placid “krishna love” admirers handing out Vday cards elsewhere!  And guess what I had to read on the third page of the vary same paper? Group Kiss in Mexico enter Guinness!!

There is Indian security issue at hand, there is an airshow here with 26 countries participating, there is this recession issue to deal with..etc!!!And the senas were busy buying chaddis and selling khadar saris. I wonder what they would have done in Mexico? Suicided or mass murdered? or would have themselves entered the Guinness record as the greatest match maker in the world.

It is so damn easy for a handful of youth to get into a pub and beat up girls, It is easy to stand in groups, catch up a couple and tell them to marry. Excuse me protectors, we looked around anxiously when we were wrapped up in 6 full yards of cotton cloth, travelling with our spouse when guys tried to poke their finger at us? Where were you? having tea breaks? Oh ok, perhaps these “Guys” who are out there, just to make travelling a torture for us girls is helping protect “Indian Culture” as well? These “Guys” who just make walking on roads an aerobic exercise for us (what with their dashing from all sides) is actually protecting the ’sanctity’ of our “culture”?

MatchMaking – Do you even know what marriage is all about to marry off young couples just because they held hands? What rights do you have to claim that my country’s marriage belief is founded on the basis 0f ‘holding hands’?

Pub – What happened to “Sri Ram” value of treating women with respect?  The media story of Mangalore Pub Assault wasnt actually showing any “Maryada Purushottam” followers there!!

Indian Culture – If we have a couple more of such leaders, India wouldnt be there for them to protect Indian Culture!!  They will be so busy weaving Khadi Sarees for us, when the world around would have reached greater heights of progress and crushed us in seconds!

I’m appalled that one person as old as Muthalik can actually talk ’such nonsense’, I’m alarmed at Acharya’s reaction to the whole situation! (Il need a seperate post for all those remarkable remarks!!), I’m dumbfound that there are actually youth who help sena and bajrang dal carry out their stupidity!, I’m blinking at the media making it their front page headlines for so many days! I’m confused as to how useful an exposure for the elections this would be for the particular groups! I’m sitting with my jaws dropped to the floor thinking how stupid can a whole nation get!

I certainly do not need a culture which will put me in the condition girls are put to in Afghanistan sans the protection they have. Im as wrapped up as an egyptian mummy is and guys keep peeping for one ‘open space’ and they give me the crap that they are trying to make the bharatiya naari? what about Ram jaise “maryada purushottams”?

I certainly dont have to take my time out and go stand in long queues, take the pain to chose some leader who displays such foolishness or allows during his tenure such foolishness!

I guess all those with sanity think this way! Is this nation at this juncture having too many self proclaimed rulers? Are we all sleeping to endure with those who think they are ‘Hitlers’ and force it upon us? Is it because our leaders have nothing regarding, security, development, recession  issues to deal with? Is there going to be a new department called Moral Policing? Moral Policing Minister – Mr. Muthalik! ?
