Now a day I have been getting hold of this group. A handful of men from a group thought of deciding how others should behave in Mangalore(south India). The group is called Sri Ram Sena. Here's the history of the group and the man who founded it.Sri Rama Sena is a pro-Hindu apolitical organization based in Hubli.There was nationwide outrage, as the images of the Mangalore pub incident scarred the collective psyche of a nation that's celebrating Republic Day.Pramod Muthalik is the man who laid the foundation of the right-wing Hindu group called the Sri Ram Sena.
Pramod said that whoever has done this has done a good job. Girls going to pubs is not acceptable. So, whatever the Sena members did was right. You are highlighting this small incident to malign the BJP government in the state.
Pramod a full-time RSS man earlier, was the Karnataka coordinator of the Bajrang Dal four years ago. Soon he was expelled from the Bajrang Dal after which he joined the Shiv Sena and later he formed his own group.That is what happen in India all the time.
This isn't the first time the Sri Ram Sena has indulged in moral policing.This is sadly not an isolated incident of groups taking the law into their own hands. Churches and prayer halls around Mangalore were attacked just a few months ago over alleged conversions. In Bangalore, rave parties on the outskirts of the city were raided - not by police - but by members of the Kannada Rakshana Vedike. As well as in August, 2008, it vandalised an exhibition of M F Husain's paintings in Delhi.However the group also finds mention in the Malegaon(Maharashtra) blast chargesheet filed by the Maharashtra Police. In the transcript of a conversation, the prime accused Colonel Purohit is quoted saying, "The Shri Ram Sena is doing very good work. Purohit calls the leader of the group as Muthalik.In an interview given to a website, Muthalik staunchly defended Sadhvi Pragya Thakur, another key accused in the Malegaon blast case, saying she is innocent.And now he's dismissing the Mangalore pub attack as a small incident.
1) A man drinks, he is a drunkard.
ReplyDeleteA female drinks, then she is liberal.
2) Drinking in Pub is social service.
Drinking Arrack in village is criminal activity.
3) Arrack seller is to be attacked.
Pub owner has to be given Ashok Chakra.
Only Urban morons have right to drink.
What a double standard?
4) Renuka is no different from Sri Ram Sena.
Renuka and Uma Bharati slap men on the road.
If Sri Ram Sena is Taliban, then Renuka and Uma Bharati are also Taliban.
5) If MNS and Sri Ram Sena break furniture, then they are hooligans.
When feminists and AIDWA break furniture in Delhi High Court, they get donation from UNIFEM and UN.
6) If arrack selling or drinking has harmful effects on society, then drinking liquor in Urban pubs also results in drunken driving and deaths.
There is no difference between women's organisations and Sri Ram Sena. Both want to oppose "drinking" by beating up the sellers and customers.
i really want to say something to the members of shri ram sena.
ReplyDeletei was watching some of news channel on Television, i saw shri ram sena members hitting girls and boys on valentine's even to brothers and sisters. i just want to say stop this. if they really want to fight than try to put all your strength against terrorists. where were u all when terrorists attacks were done. none of the sena came out from their home. at that time , shri ram sena, shiv sena, bajrang dal were sleeping
