Moral policemen of India
In spite of all the bad publicity and the Pink Chaddi Campaign, Sri Ram Sene has once again raised its ugly head to propagate their plans for a Hindu agenda in the country and abroad. The government still remains a mute spectator.
RIGHT FROM the days of the freedom struggle, Indians have protested and pioneered interesting campaigns. February 2009, we witnessed a campaign and a protest of a very different kind. Called the ‘Pink Chaddi Campaign’, this movement was launched as a non-violent protest against the moral policing by Sri Ram Sene, a right wing organisation.
This coming February too would see similar policing. This year, Pramod Muthalik, founder of the Sri Ram Sene, had announced that any young couple found together expressing love in public will be forced to marry. He had further stated that members of his organisation will walk around with a priest and a mangalsutra forcing young men and women to marry if found together. “We will not spare dating couples,” he said.
The organisation first made headlines when the members attacked young women in a pub in Mangalore. A few women were injured in the incident and had to be hospitalised. India is a democracy and our constitution confers the right to freedom of right and expression to every Indian citizen irrespective of their caste, creed, gender and religion. We have laws against sedition (Section 124A of the Indian Penal Code) to prevent people from propagating hatred towards a particular group or community. Any person making a public speech against public peace or law and order of the country ought to be punished under law.
But coming to the ground reality, few people in power have been bought to books for spreading hate speeches and acting against law. Gujarat Chief Minister, Narendra Modi, Shiv Sena chief, Bal Thackeray and MNS chief, Raj Thackeray have never faced fair punishment for their provoking actions and words.
So, Pramod Muthalik too got away with just a preventive custody on Valentine’s Day. Muthalik was charged for 40 cases in the state but wasn’t punished for any. The Pink Chaddi Campaign however created waves. Men and women from all over the country, however accepted the campaign and sent pink under-wears to Muthalik’s office during Valentine’s Day as a mark of their silent protest. It is therefore sad to note that in spite of such massive protests, the executive and the judiciary failed to react to the seeds of hatred and fake moral policing being forced upon the younger generation.
P Chidambaram, the then Home Minister said that the centre was watching the activities of Sri Rama Sene with grave concern. But the reaction of the government ended with just being a mute spectator. An outright ban on such a violent organisation which tends to take law in their hands would have stopped such organisations from becoming vandals.
But the inaction of the government has now made the organisation more confident. Just seven months after the campaign and all the flak, Muthalik went on to announce his plans for a Hindu agenda in the capital of the country. His speech also gave a hint of his global plans. The plight of the Hindus in the neighbouring countries like Sri Lanka and Malaysia now seems to be on his priority list.
It still isn’t very late. Unless the government acts now, it wouldn’t be long before Hindu women would be forced to adhere to a dress code or fear facing attacks in the name of morality.

Thank you for reading my comment, it was really good to learn people do care what they scribble and look forward for replies, I am not supporting the violence but what are the alternatives we have in our hand. I am happy reading the old saying PEN IS MY SWORD, well it is a mighty sword but i feel it is being used more to cause problem than solution. I will write down few issues, i hope you will be able to read and if time permits you will reply me, anyway thankyou! and i will look forward to your next article. (1) What do you think about EVANGELISM, how to counter it. (2) What is your solution to HINDUS in trouble in SRI LANKA, MALAYSIA, AND NEPAL, ALSO IN INDIA- ASSAM, N E STATES, J&K, FEW kerala districts. (3) Separatist movement in NE STATES, Assam, AND THE EVANGELIST SUPPORT TO THEM. (4) Control of major media by CHRISTIAN organizations and Communists. (5) Role of Mr. Bush in accelerating and exploitation of poverty by funding 20 BILLION to indian Evangelists. I hope you reply if time permits, also please do not come up and say LAW will take care of all this because there only 2 parties opposing all this in there own manner while we have more than 50 parties being benefited by above including the GREAT OLD PARTY THAT IS CAUSE OF ALL.

.We all need to rise above Hindus, Muslims all these so called religious differences we have in our minds....Its our MIND which creates that we are different from Muslims....and Muslims thinks Hindus are different from us....Didnt we all come from the same GOD....if so...then how can we be different????????? There are few Hindu as well as Muslim fundamentalists who cannot listen to their SOUL and follow whatever their mind says....We al need to collectively rise above the so called illusionary differences and say ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!! We choose to NOT follow any groupist attitude like HINDUS< MUSLIM, CHRISTIANS......and the responsibility herein lies in each one of us....one cannot shirl our responsibility by saying.....why did they do so? so we will do this....if this continues.....decades will pass but we will cease to bring in PEACE....and isnt that what GITA, KORAN, BIBLE teach???????? I am not a saint....but one among you all...who has started seeing through this mind-made illusions of differences....let each of us become the beacon of light which GOD has sent us to be. You disown one Pramod and Saeed there are thousands of others who will crop....key is to STOP it somewhere and NOT continue it! Easy thing is to SPREAD hatred and the TOUGHEST thing is to SPREAD LOVE.....so alllllllllllll those REAL MEN need to choose! LOVE or HATRED??????? Are you all going to LIVE here on this planet for 10000 years????? No...few more decades....choice is yours!!!! LOVE, PEACE or HATRED & WAR?!!!
Good and thankyou Sir, we should have people like you in MEDIA and politics, hope you make it one day.
I have one question for you, do you beleive in INTEGRITY OF NATIONHOOD AND ITS LAND? IF YES what will be your advice for the govt how to act against the people participating in SEPARATIST movements like in J&K, Nagaland and other NE states.
We have many articles on website which have clearly stated Naga separatists are funded and supported by the CHRISTIAN missionaries, Mr Bush allocated separate funds from budget to fund them in 2002, WHAT WOULD UR OPINION BE IN DEALING THEM AND THE FUNDING PEOPLE.
Nagaland was not a christian majority state before 1950, but today more than 90% of population and they have started SEPARATIST movement. Similar way there is a huge funding going around to convert people all over india to build a political mass, WE ALL KNOW LAW IS AGAINST THIS, BUT WHAT HAS STOPED THEM FROM CONTINUING, GOVT AND COURT GO BY RULES NOT REALITY IT IS WHERE PEOPLE LIKE PRAMOD MUTHALIK ENTER, WHAT IS YOUR OPINION AND HOW CAN WE STOP THIS.
I HOPE U READ AND ANSWER THIS, i am in search of answers, a collective ideology is good than self thought. Thank you!
.Does your article also come under the Section 124A of the Indian Penal Code, FOR ITS HATRED TOWARDS THE MUTHALIK, HINDU LEADERS AND THEIR FOLLOWERS.
.It would have been better if you would started a article with the constitution which it self is flawed. How is it still the muslims of nation are allowed to follow some stupid old polygamy when the whole world is moving on, why is it that you cannot write about the muslim women wearing the burkha which is very dangerous with present terrorists attacks and involvement of women, how is it that your article does not talk for a muslim child whose foreskin is cut off without his consent, he has to be atleast 18 to give consent.
You have spoke so much about the law, what has the law done to any of the biggest scams of nation, killing the native sikhs of nation, role played by few so called first family in inter continental fraud and loot of nation, why is it that your article does not talk about law which could not punish the Communists, few congressmen who were involved in spying with china and CIA.
Why is it that your article does not even think to mention the role played by skewed evangelists, HOW IS IT, MR. BUSH JUNIOR propaganda of funds openly to evangelists in NORTH EAST and Andhra since 2002 has never come up in article.
You speak so much of the Moral Policing atleast they are working for the society better than the law of land, you are so much attracted to PINK chaddi campaign wow it shows what type of culture you want in nation, Yes it is not correct to use the muscle but the nexus of media politicians criminals evangelists and terrorists has forced many citizens of nation to go towards MORAL POLICING, and it is really popular among the citizens of the land who are affected by the unholy nexus.
There was so much of support created by the Evangelist media against the MANGALORE yet the people of Mangalore support who was better for them and not whom the media wanted.
There was flow of so called forward christian women towards Mangalore during the time of election to support the CONGRESS candidate and create a myth in the people, well they all got a nice slap in the name of PEOPLE VERDICT.
Our GOVT LEFT THE TAMILS TO BE messacred IN SRI LANKA, IF FEW PEOPLE OF NATION WANT TO SAFE GUARD AND PROTECT VOLUNTARILY, they will certainly receive support from the people of nation.
It is very easy to beat the drums and scribble some myth on paper, go to the people you will know what reality is, just take your sentence about THACKERAY in public in maharastra, you will really get what you deserve. He is a father figure of the state over there, even law comes next to him there that is why no CONGRESS govt could ever touch him, even though they would love to.
SORRY TO SAY OUR LAW OF LAND IS NOT COMPLETE, IT IS BIASED, IT IS MAINTAINED BY PEOPLE WHO THEMSELVES IF BROUGHT UNDER LAW WOULD NEVER BE ABLE TO SEE LIGHT AGAIN, EVEN OUR JUDGES ARE INDICTED UNDER THE SCAMS, CORRUPTION, OTHER CASES, OUR FIFTH DIMENSION OF DEMOCRACY HAS SOLD OUT ITS SOUL TO EVANGELISTS- HOW COULD THEY SPEAK OF OR FOR LAW, IN OTHER WORDS WE HAVE A STINKING CONSTITUTION GOVT LAW IN LAND, BETTER IS TO SEE SOME HOPE IN SOME MORAL POLICERS WHO ARE SELF DRIVEN THAN SOME POLITICIAN OR MONEY DRIVEN LAW POLICE.
Also your name shows MENON, YOU MAY BE FROM KERALA, SORRY TO MAKE YOU AWARE THAT KERALA IS THE SECOND MOST POPULAR BREEDING GROUND FOR ISLAMIC TERRORISTS AFTER THE J&K UNDER THE PROTECTION OF COMMUNISTS, and this protection is just for votes, and these were the people who control LAW. WOW KUDOS TO NARROW MINDED SELF DRIVEN HATRED ARTICLE AND YOUR SUPPORT TO CORRUPT PEOPLE.
Thank you for reading my comment, it was really good to learn people do care what they scribble and look forward for replies, I am not supporting the violence but what are the alternatives we have in our hand.

Thanks Lohit for reading the article. I believe in the Indian constitution. Well like all countries even we never had a righteous government hence most constitutional laws arent implemented. I still stick to what i write. I like Mr. Thackeray for all the good work that he has done but do not agree to violence or taking law in your own hands. Mr. Lohit, i believe in scribbling on paper, because this is my sword and the very fact that u are getting agitated reading my article, makes me feel worth it. I respect your comments and feelings but feel i have the freedom to express mine. I believe in the freedom of expression till the time it doesnt propagate violence. And for your information, I am as much as a Hindu as any other person can be. Just that i have learnt to respect other religions and believe in tatvamasi (Check sanskrit dictionary if u dont understand the word.)
Keep commenting as difference of opinion is good for democracy...
