Petition:The Authorities should take a strict action against them.To teach them a lesson for a lifetime. Violence is not the solution for anything.And we dont need to learn about women ethics from those who themselves are not aware of even humanity.Behaving like animals and talking about our spiritual customs , its totally absurd. Instead of trying to correct others they should focus on themselves and start from their family first. This kind of cruel behavious towards women should not be entertained and i really hope that someone out there in the Higher Authorities is still working on this issue to make Women prosper here in India with freedom and dignity.

Petition:Pubbing or celebrating the Valentine's is the expression of the same democratic principles that make each of us a free citizen and that a modern day democracy can be proud of. The manifestations of our freedom being labelled as Westernization of the pure Indian soul is just another bullish attempt at maligning the image of Indian culture and creating internal rifts too.If only the elected leaders of our country can take some time out of their busy schedules and do some governance too. It takes a lot of time and effort for a country to surge ahead, please don't take us so back so soon.

Petition:I am a 22 year old who has never been to a pub but I fail to understand the mentality of these so called 'protectors of our society'. There is absolutely no leadership in these people who call themselves as 'leaders'. The first rule of leadership is lead by example. Before pointing out fingers at others have you corrected a simple thing of teaching discipline in your organisation? When you agree that the manner of the protest was wrong then please correct yourself first before talking about others. One needs to introspect whether he has been a perfect example for the people. My dear 'activists' understand one simple fact about human psychology you need to inspire your countrymen, dictatorship will not unite but break people. Please focus on much more urgent and important issues in our country. Even today you will find child marriages, torcher on women, dowry system, untouchabilty etc. in our society(And people are forced to follow this atleast nobody is forced to go to the pub). Shri Ram never forced anyone to follow him, he just did what he believed in, people followed automatically. Thats leadership my dear friends. When the question of western culture and indian culture comes, unfortunately it has won over our Indian culture because people have chosen it willingly. Nothing was forced. But by telling this I no where mean to degrade our culture. Not being biased I (Likewise every Indian) believe that Indian culture is the greatest of all. But highlight its greatness rather than enforcing it. Our culture needs to be spread amongst the people.

Petition:The attitude of all people and parties involved is shocking and reeks of hypocrisy and an archaic attitude towards women. Indian culture has always been a progressive one and therefore the Indian civilization has survived transitions across ages.. Today's so called moral police is just looking for opportunities to prevent change and evolution of the Indian society which will only damage the Indian culture in the long run.. We should not get swayed by the regressive ideas they are trying to sow in the minds of all Indians and should raise our voice against them to tell them that we are living in a free democracy and will not be dictated by the whims and fancies of a few regressive people..

Petition:Hi, 1) Where are the so called 'moral policemen when women/girls are getting raped or eve-teased or molested? 2) Pub culture is not Indian culture, fine. But, is beating people up, especially WOMEN, Indian culture? 3) Even if women/girls are dancing nude or semi-nude or in any obscene way INSIDE the pubs, nobody from the OUTSIDE can see them dancing, can they?? This is equivalent to married people being intimate with each other within a house and not in front of everyone. Of course, it can be argued that married ones are different, but, even in pubs, couples who are in love with each other dance with each other! What's their(so called 'moral' policemen) problems? 4) Smoking/Drinking etc TOO are against Indian culture. Why is it that i find ALL the sena activists drinking/smoking/chewing tobacco and spitting on the streets all along their way?? 5) Formal Shirts/Pants are DEFINITELY NOT Indian culture. Whey wear them then? 6) Working for foreign companies is not good for Indian culture and in NO foreign company is Indian culture being followed, ban all the foreign companies and let everyone be jobless and unemployed! There are 50 more things i can come up with and argue about, but i am not so jobless as the sena activists. If people want to enjoy, let them enjoy. If you dont want your kids to enjoy that way, then dont let them. Leave others alone. It is a 'democratic' country and like muthalik can voice his opinions out, similarly those who want to enjoy and freak out, CAN do so!!! P.S: PLEASE send this to the chief minister and MAKE SURE he READS and UNDERSTANDS what i am trying to tell, especially the last line!

Petition:SO ARE WE REALLY FREE? The Mangalore pub attack is extremely outrageous and sends pangs to the hearts of many women all over India.Mahatma Phule may have turned in his grave,little would he have predicted such an incident to happen years after he initiated education of the girl child.Living in a 'globalized' world,we speak of 'a modern fast growing economy'which India is,we speak of how India is no longer an developing nation but already a developed one,of how India stands at the threshold of pushing the world economy when other countries are fighting recession. But isn't this growth just useless when we as 'individuals' are not developing but becoming more and more inhuman?Not to forget intolerant and violent? The country seems to be advancing financially,but as people,we are a 'pitiable species'. If women going to pubs isn't part of Indian culture,then maybe thrashing them is,taking advantage of them on New Year's is.And let me tell you,it has nothing got to do with skimpy clothing.Statistics show how in most rape cases women were wearing 'Punjabi dresses'.No sir,it's not the clothing,it the mindset that even as India develops,it's women should be confined to the 'chulha'.And this is surprising as India itself boasts of women having climbed mountains,driven airplanes and even become the PM.Such hypocrisy is intolerable. Doesn't our Constitution speak of equality of sexes or even human rights? And this sir,is not just exploitation of women alone,but exploitation of human rights.And such perpetrators of the law should be caught and punished. Also,such a mindset which breeds violence,hatred and a complete disrespect for women needs to be shunned at it's very source.Without it not only will we lose respect for ourselves,but we can hardly call ourselves a 'FREE INDIA'

Petition:We in India have some 60 years ago voiced our collective voice and concerted action for FREEDOM in democracy and chose to elect our reps via ballot and not be forced on local warlords and their whims & fancies like in feudal India and other countries. We have become more mature and been through rough and trying times including "Emergency" etc and still chose this path. This I feel is the way and direction of India. So far the vocalised minority have not been elected in any capacity and we will go by the RULE OF LAW and the Spirit of the Law to reach a different changing face of India of the New generation who has to take it from there onwards. This is what we will leave them. We hope that it is better than when our parents left it to us. WE will not sacrifice our Freedom but choose to be cautious and prudent in dealing with our youth and DO NOT FORGET we have created and shaped them so far- whatever it be. We must stand up for the rights of all and with discernment not to allow abuse of any kind or might to dominate and abuse any as our prized CONSTITUTION has laid out our cause for this to be maintained. May GOD of truth whom all seem to look up to and worship assist us in this major and life long struggle. Let not the God of money and blind power win for all our good. Let us not Talibanise India but keep a good balance on our Indian values also for the sake of our great nation.

Petition:In a Democratic society like ours, as long as we are not doing any harm to others, it's within our rights to do whatever we want to. He just said it in a very bad and ill-mannered way but this is a view that majority of us endorses as well. The morons who commit such heinous acts in the name of 'moral policing' should be punished severely. The fact of the matter is, there is a particular set of people who support such heinous acts like the ones happened in Mangalore. Some politicians supporting this kind of 'moral policing' can't just digest the fact that today's youth is exposed to a much more affluent and luxurious lifestyle than they could have imagined in their youths. It's just sheer jealousy, nothing else. Also, there are some people in this country who don't have access to pubs, good restaurants, grand lifestyle, and most importantly "company of female friends" ... even though they fantasize, desire and dream about having these. But because of their lowliness and lack of character, they don't get these. Hence, they hurt those who have the privilege of having these. It boils down to the story of the HAVEs and HAVE-NOTs again. The HAVE-NOTs are always jealous of the HAVEs and they always try to hurt/abuse them. All this talk about "Indian Culture" is total rubbish. Raping foreign tourists and killing them is Indian Culture. Burning Christian Missionaries alive along with their families and children is Indian Culture. Burning churches is Indian Culture. Banning women from entering certain temples is Indian Culture. But having a nice evening out with friends in a pub is AGAINST Indian Culture. People who endorse such views and acts should be shot/ hanged publicly.

Why not men learn to first drink responsibly. And if drinking is such a big problem then why not stop selling Cigarettes and alcohol altogether. And why is it only for women that we have all these rules or is it that you medical science tells that alcohol reacts differently to women.

Petition:Indian women except in certain community enjoy all the freedom in India . There are sporadic incidences happening in our country for which do not blame a Party, Religion and not politicize the issue. Attack against women is a matter of concern and to a great extent only women themselves can solve it with a courageous mind. The saddest part is that the media is biased making the matters worse by giving distorted news and certain news are telecasted giving extra mileage. Women should show more courage like Mam Nalini Netto in Kerala. One can understand how grave the situation is, even a senior IAS officer’s case of sexual assualt by a Minister (took place in 1999) is still pending in the Court of Law even after many years and she didn’t get justice till date. Another case of molesting Lakhmi Gopakumar, a T V anchor by a former Kerala minister is hanging around in courts. ( took place in 2006). So justice is delayed and justice is being denied to women. It is a fact that women were being mindlessly victimized in every part of our country. Many women who are trapped by Sex racket, and cheated by lovers end up their lives and the real culprits escape because there is no evidence against these unscrupulous people of the society. For the sufferings of Indian women and female kids who are being sold and forced to do sex work, and who fell in the trap, I request Ms.Rnuka Chowdhary to do something rather than politicizing the issue. No one will disagree that all the money made through unlawful means ends up in beer bars, pubs and brothels. We can stop the evil “Curruption” which is a cancer to our society by putting ban on dance bars and eliminating brothels. But Bar business being major revenue to a few state governments and political leaders/parties, who is going to ban it. The young generation is living in all luxury, they want more money (by whatever means) to enjoy life with wine , women and drugs. Poor parents are really finding it difficult to meet both ends and some resort to bribes for this. Taking the slogan “ Why should only guys have all the fun”, more women have started using drinks,fag and drugs. They all feel having boyfriend, dating with them is a privilege. Many encourage living relationship and didn’t find anything wrong in it. They think the modern women should behave like this. They think this is life and freedom. The Media and Filim Industry are really encouraging and exploiting the young generation which they don’t actually realize.

Petition:The mob should be severly dealt with. A rape incident in Noida also displayed a similar mindset. The boys argued in their defense that the girl was in a "compromising" position with her friend that led to her rape by them. The pretext that the mob in this case gives is that the girl was "improperly dressed". Thank God they did not resort to rape. I would like to tell all of them that you are noone to judge for us if we are wearing good or bad. neither you are anyone to impose your wishes on us of what should we wear, or where should we go. All this displays a "parasitc" social midset. In this era of globalisation when the economy has opened and cultures have mixed you cannot expect things to reverse. When boys are free, why cant the girls be. I just want to say that noone has the right to even touch a girl or abuse her "even if she is wearing a skirt up to her neck".

I remember both my grannies used to be fond of a tipple as well as chewing paan. They lived in villages all their lives and were well respected for their wisdom and values. How is it then any different from girls going to pubs? Every girl who gets drunk in a pub is not going to sleep with a guy!!

Terrorize people and gain publicity for the forth coming elections. How much ever we say here that we should not vote for them, there is larger mass of Talibans who will vote for them, coz they do not even know that these goons will bring with them once they are in power. Only way is to cut their air supply off for good. These parties should be treated exactly as terrorists and be banned from participating in elections. Does anyone have any idea how to stop them from participating - think practical ways... I for one, do not know how! Also remember, the head of the party that created havoc in Mangalore, was released on bail (later arrested again for some other crap), since the courts did not see his party's contribution to be bad enough!!!

Petition:We've repeatedly heard from numerous public figures that "nobody will be allowed to take the law into their hands"; my question is what law were the women breaking? And who, actually, was breaking the law here? If the girls were indeed taking drugs, then was the anti-narcotics cell of the Karnataka Police sleeping? The CM states that "pub culture" is wrong. I would like to know what he defines as pub culture. Now a small percentage of urban beer drinkers has become more threatening to our culture than those alcoholics who regularly visit arrack and wine shops, throw away all their money, only to return home and beat up their families? The CM has also stated that the Government will seriously consider banning the Sri Ram Sena only if they continue to cause such disturbances in the future. Pramod Muthalik has more than 45 cases pending against him, recently lauded the Malegaon bombings saying "they were just the trailer", indulges in divisive politics under the name of religion and culture, and recently masterminded the attack on a pub in Mangalore where around 40 men barged into a pub and assaulted, harassed and molested the women present. Does the Government really need any further reason to ban this group and sentence Muthalik to a long term behind bars? As for our honourable leaders talking about how their deadlines have helped to stop crimes, all I have to say that crimes are in fact on the rise in many parts of Karnataka. A ban on alcohol can be implemented, if needed, but a deadline on nightlife or a ban on pubs just does not make sense. That is equivalent to saying that crimes will not happen if everyone locked themselves up in their houses. Is this the next directive that's going to be issued by the BJP? It's certainly easier than protecting the citizens isn't it?

Petition:The main problem is isolating woman in attacking them. That is a criminal act. But for that, I fully agree our culture is spoiled with these people (men or women) going to such places and drinking, immorally moving with men and viceversa, even married women in the name of freedom behave immorally,wife cheating husband and viceversa..it is all degradation of society in the name of women/men freedom. Government itself is encouraging by allowing pubs/drinking/public smoking etc.. There must be a proper uniform education system inculcating values and responsibilty to individuals.

These people are not trying to preserve Hinduism but just managing to malign the spirit of Hinduism which is an open religion that has kept up with time and has been continuously changing keeping pace with the world. Unlike Islam, which binds its followers to its centuries old principles, Hinduism is a open religion which is the essence of the religion. The people are doing a great disservice to the cause they claim to be espousing

Petition:INDIAN WOMEN CULTURE An Article appeared in DINAMALAR, regarding the culture value and women of India. (02/02/09). This paper lashes the cancer in society as long as, the other side involved, are weaker than the paper-strength. Of course, viewed from, its required obligations to society, the article is absolute, however if it is universal its laudable. Anyway, this aptitude is only a passing remark “ nirai kakum kappeven seyyum Maglir nirai kakkum kappe thalai” (Tirukkural)(Tamil in English) Under the constitution of India, every citizen, including women has the right to apparel, living and leading life to his/her liking, within the boundary of permitted under law. The law had equally permitted for expressions for and against, in a democratic way. However what we saw in Mangalore is more than a terrorist attack and indecent to the core of Male youth in a hotel. This goes to show that it’s a male dominated society and all rules are written by males. Women are the strongest in society, better than males, who don’t know about their strength, like an ELEPHANT. Drinking, dancing and dating have come to stay in our society. Who prompted this? Men folks lead the front. Women showed the path. Men wanted to see the neighbor naked but not his woman. Here the contradiction had arisen. Women has all charms, a finer creation of GOD and she will shake the kingdom; men knew about it but wanted them to become their prey except, his own women who shall guard her chastity; we quote the outcome here as from western culture; but we forgot that women whereever they are viz IN India /western/Arabia have the same set of standard procedures; if women are respected they respect in turn your honor; but you cannot depict them as your pleasure-public-pots; the women turn hostile; as long as it does not touch your interests, you are not bothered, I mean Men-folks; that is why prostitution is deeply rooted; when his daughters and wives turn to a life of proximity men start thinking about INDIAN CULTURE. Ramakrishna Parama hamsa was met by a lady who wanted her child to be advised to refrain from eating lot of sweets. Parama Hamsa directed her to come along with the child after a fortnight. On that day Parama Hamsa preached to the child about the bad effects of swrrts and the mother asked that this could have been done a fort-night ago. Ramakrishna said that she was right but he himself was fond of sweets and one who preaches shall practice first and so he took time. MEN SHALL PRACTICE BEFORE PREACHING ABOUT THE INDIAN CULTURE. . Men write stories of women and sex in sweet style. Men produce paintings and pictures depicting women as a sex object. Men produce films where women are portrayed as a voluptuous creature always thinking about nothing but sex. In television serials, men project women as having two husbands or they are two women in men life. Men draw pictures in Magazines with women fully exposed. All cine songs are written with sex as the basic instinct as expressed by women. Men politicians treat women as second in line but needed for votes bank to attract men .Men force the women to do the age old profession. What women can do? They have to survive. Unashamedly women condescend to the wishes of men, After all these things MEN TALK ABOUT INDIAN CULTURE WITH SHAMELESS FACE!!! The News papers and Magazines, TVs and Media, filmdom and its fraternity fashion shows did not contribute a dime to stop this non-sense and in the contrary, give lot of exposures to society. Every medium are flesh sellers who make lot of money out of women. Men booze and make merry with women but protect his women folks into a shelter. Will the producer of the film make his daughter dance in a film and shoot as he does with cine-stars? AND THESE MEN IN RAM SENA SHOUT ABOUT INDIAN CULTURE AND BEAT WOMEN!! Beating women is not our culture. Youth who created an act of terrorism in Mangalore should have moral-turpitude, or else they will not act in this manner. The article from where this view is expressed is good but will it stop publishing cinema malar, cine news and articles of distaste? Will this kind of paper write similar articles against Film and TV industries shallow aptitude? Will it make a movement against Politicle gimmicks on women? Will it ask men to change the focus and wear a new glass to respect women? When all these things happen we can speak about INDIAN CULTURE, TAMIL CULTURE ETC. Unfortunately, to conclude finally, it’s a pity that women are prepared to expose for pleasure and penny and no women forum raise their voice to put a stunning halt. First let men who created the vandalism at Mangalore be severely punished E(N)DE (GURUVA)YURAPPA.

It was actually a bar tendering its service to a logde customers, and was illegally arranged as a pub and dealing with drugs & drinks and illegally luring boys & girls to enjoy there. When the sena went there on request by the general public, the members were not allowed in. After arguments with the pub people, the sena in a fit of anger took to the extreme step and the result all have seen. The family of the youth who were at the pub at the time of the attack are hiding their faces out of shame and keeping away from the police and media. Now who is to be blamed?

Petition:Most of the politician's or the so called guardian’s of the Hindu culture are saying nowadays that they are against the PUB CULTURE. Well is the pub culture or is the drinking culture. It's not necessary that people going end up drinking alcohol. Pub is a place to socialize in this modern world for the Young generation. These so called Rakhwalas of Hindu culture need to know that there are more liquor shops in the every localities then the number of pub. Why don't they first stop them and then move on to the PUB’s? In Bangalore you i have seen more liquor shop's then milk parlors where you will find people drinking on the streets to there glory and that's something which is our Hindu culture as per these CULTURE COP's because you will never find them stopping this. They are bunch of Hypocrites. No religion teaches us to do violence or to forcibly implement your views, especially in Hinduism it is never said that to behave like a dictator. The actual meaning of Hinduism is Sanatana Dharma which means everlasting, this religion is driven by the dharma, karma and the reincarnation. Why do in my life is what I get in my life then who are these people to come and punish me. Our politician’s and the Honorable CM’s should have thought once before simply uttering that line “I am against this PUB culture”, they never stop drinking in there private parties, is that what the Hinduism teach them???

Petition:The cowardly and shameful act in the name of protecting india's 'culture' is a shocking to say the least. Well if the so called "pub culture" is not Indian then how can one explain that the beating up of young girls by a so called group:protectors of hinduism is. Actually rather than calling them Sri ram sena , they should call them selves h*** ki sena....well wait...infact this would be an insult to h*****.Getting in a group targetting and molesting young individual girls in the name of teaching our youths a lesson and creating terror among the pub going public is never ever going to get our youth on the 'right' track. These groups like Sri Ram Sena etc...and hooligans supported by parties like MNS and Shivsena....who claim to reflect and protect hindu sentiments(and are experts in getting into mobs and targetting helpless individuals...remember the valentines day incidents,bashing up north indians during railway exams,sending off pakistani artists etc) should be told that first of all nobody in this country has given them the rigths to do so. If that was the case they would have been in power. Agreed that the whole argument of whether pub culture is good or not is debatable.But India is supposed to be a DEMOCRATIC country and we should let educated adults decide for themselves what they want.People are FREE to do what they want and choose in a democracy as long as they follow the law.Why dont these parties address more serious issues such as child labour/trafficing ,prostitution and thrash up people who accept bribes(RTO,govt officers,politicians), demand dowry, divide people in the name of caste/colour/region/religion. The manner in which such things need to be handled are of utmost importance.Terror can only produce a tense and a rebellious atmosphere.The correct way would be to show the negatives of pub culture,alcohol, cigaratte etc by showing the positives of leading a healthy life,focusing ones energy on personal and national growth.Rather than beating up girls and imposing restrictions on youth , why not oppose and ban the consumtion of alcohol altogether(again debatable).And why only the girls are to be barred...what 'punya' did boys do that they got a license to drink? I just hope,wish and believe that the Indian youth will very soon realise that they are being mislead in the name of religion. The modern Indian youth is educated and mature enough to make his own decision and choice. Thus they should strongly reject and suppress any attempts to 'terrorize/talibanize' and misguide the public.Especially any attempts to divide the public and disturb Indias unity in the name of culture/caste/region/religion/gender/age group.We are the people of a country where Mahatma Gandhi was born...lets stop this dada-giri and promote his principles of love-respect to all,honesty and non-violence.

Petition:I agree with Anjali and others reporting for this cause. Thrashing women in the name of God and culture. Is this Hinduism? If so why were the boys and guys not trashed?? or It is permitted for them to be at Pubs, Disc, Bars and to gain other means of pleasure & fun? Who has licensed these goons and their groups and their godfathers to mishandle the girls in Mangalore incident, being latest?????? Are all these outfits and gundaraj, above the government, authorities and law??? If no action is taken then authorities agree to the above statement. We all think its high time that the government and authorities take severe action for sustaining peace, harmony and growth. Everyone has sense of understanding and responsibility and freedom is our right. We can lead life as we will not controlled by these unstable minded goons/thugs. "Time to wakeup and change". Bottom line all these so called parties are politically supported internal terrorist outfits.These should disbanded and severely dealt with. Regards if action taken or shove this petition in one of your files later to be dumped or burned as usual.

Petition:I think we are giving big names to the act, Have we gone to the root of the act and why it was conducted, Yes, I do agree that the way it was conducted was not right, but what options did they have to stop something which they felt was creating a wrong example for the teenagers. Does everyone have an access to media, Only the influential and rich have access. Mostly the women who goes into such places are coming from the influential class. So would the media go against them. Lets see both sides of the coin, Well you are spending your own money and not directly hurting anyone. But there are people looking at you and learning something, especially teenagers, So I think one should refrain from such places, Are they no other place to meet. Ironically media twist any subject in the way they want, Somedays ago I was watching a major channel airing mithun chakraborty view on young girls wearing too short dresses and he remarked that this leads to provocation for a man on the street, and has rightly admitted men have a different angle to women unless they know them very well, and this type of provocation leads to bad conduct. You cannot change man, at many times you want them to tease the girls. Well thats what is shown in movies. Instead the channel challenged mithun as what he was upto when he was a india biggest disco dancer. This type of attitude from Media does not lead us anywhere and looking at this, No one else would like to suggest anything. Ok lets for argument sake leave cinema separate than real life. then in that case wearing scantily should be confined to cinema as an entertainment tool, but should not come to the real everyday life to entertain unless one is an entertainer. Now your arguement is then how western culture has excepted it. I believe even in western region, those who want cheap publicity do this. People who are really beautiful can be judge from their attitude, their talk and their ways of carrying themselves. Ultimately instead of making a hype about an incident like this, lets question ourselves are we supporting the society we always wanted as indians/international indians. I am sure at the back of mind of some parents who oppose this act, they understand that what their kids are into is much different than what they wanted from them. So lets talk about the inner feeling than rather going along with the wave. These are my opinion, if you like it, but I would like to have a response from the reader if the made sense.

If some forces are so worried about it what options do they provide? Let the people close these pubs for not opting to go not because of vandalism. Its like challenging religious conversions. Work for social upliftment and abolish social classes instead of blocking people from practicing freedom of religion - a constitutional right. These elements have to nipped in the bud.

Petition:These attacks on women is shameful, and symptomatic of a weak society taking out its frustration on its own. Sri Ram Sena, if it had the guts, should go after, or at least come out and protest against, the extremists that perpetrated the Mumbai massacre. Is it very Hindu to be a mute spectator to Islamic violence? I guess these jokers think that by terrorizing young, fun-loving women, they are somehow asserting their reliogosity. Me thinks it is cowardice, of the sort that has always seen Hindu society turn on its most helpless and down-trodden. Never has Hindu society confronted external, larger threats in a coherent and courageous fashion, prefering, instead, to behave like a domestic abuser. Shameful, to say the least. And all in the name of Lord Rama, who once used to be called Maryada Purush. They are no better than the Taliban - just cowards in saffron instead of in in green....

Those who dont agree with the argument can send their own sisters, wives, daughters and mothers to pubs past midnight and let men enjoy them.PRACTICE FIRST, THEN PREACH." You are the kind of scum that infuriates everyone because you lack logic completely! Your statement is utter nonsense. Such inferior thinking. How do you know they are not from good families? Do you know them personally? Why don't you have anything to say about men who drink? or about men who molest women? and men who lech at even young girls? Men who "enjoy women"? Are you one of them? Is your family filled such filthy men? Is your father this filthy too? Why else would you talk like this, you uncivilized filth? Because you don't look at these women as equal citizens in a democracy. You consider them property. You pathetic loser! Why don't you make efforts, as an aware citizen, to make sure that, in the first place, immoral men are scared of troubling women because of the punishment they would get? Because you are just another conservative fool! All talk, no action. You have no guts to step out there and improve society. If you don't agree with the arguement, well, too bad! Live with it, you right-wing loser! You are an insult to India's hard won freedom. This question begs to be asked- Why is it OK for men to drink?! Why is it sinful only for girls/women to drink? What is the logic behind that thought? If drinking is western culture(this statement is false & hilarious, we know that!), why are only women stopped from indulging in western habits? WHY are MEN not stopped from this? Don't get sucked into this thinking its just about Women's rights. This is a well planned "incident." mangalore has been turning right-wing for over ten years now. Fertile breeding ground for BJP and the likes. It is no coincidence that Muthalik conducted this in Mangalore while the BJP is in power in Karnataka. Expect more such publicity-garnering incidents in Karnataka. And don't get sucked into a debate about culture. Many people here are falling into this trap. The right-wing will talk about Indian and western culture and shift focus from the REAL ISSUE - ABUSE OF POWER. Its not about culture at all. Its about sordid political candidates. And of course, most importantly, they had the guts to do such a thing because they knew very well that such "Indian culture" crap will be overlooked by the BJP government. They are typical right-wing cowards who attack people who cannot defend themselves. And lastly, this anger and campaign about women's rights has to be protracted because these bums do not get it. They do not see women as citizens with rights. Please understand that first. And here's some interesting information for those not in the know. Pramod Muthalik, the genius who heads this Shri Rama Sene, was earlier with the Shiv Sena in north Karnataka. Yes, THE shiv sena. But, a while ago, the shiv sena made a whole lot of noise about the Belgaum issue and insulted Karnataka. So, Muthalik, pround Kannadiga that he claims to be, quit the Sena that he swore by! ha ha ha! Overall, a big loss of face. And now, after spending the last year or so whipping up hatred to rebuild his right-wing vote bank, he staged this whole thing to gain publicity. And has succeeded, as is obvious.

I wonder what culture they are talking of when men drink and be merry and come home and beat up their wife and children. I think that is okay with them but women drinking and having a good time with friends at a pub is not acceptable. Married men dancing to a bar girls tunes in a local bar and carrying an extra marital affair with such dancers forgetting their wife and family is acceptable to them in their culture. What culture are they talking about? How many of these men respect their wives and daughters in their very own family which is a part of the so called Indian culture that they boast about. And the govt. instead of parading these goons naked in public and giving them sever punishment are echoing their concern of increasing pub culture. I am ashamed of being an Indian and a part of this culture like most of the youngsters of my age are today and are running away from this dirty political country forever.

Petition:Mangalore pub incident is highly demoralising. But more demoralising is the fact that our nation's law and administrative system has failed to take strong actions against such miscreants. The continuos failure of law and administration against any non-constitutional activity has actually created a more favourable environment for these miscreants. When I look around me, I find the same situation in all corners of the country. The law fearing common man of the country has actually become the weakest in the country. The system which was meant to empower the righteous is not even able to protect itself. The question is to be asked to each one of us. Do we want a country where no law and administrations resides. I strongly urge to our politicians and legislators to take some concrete steps against such illegal activities. Otherwise very soon, there would be no country left for you all to rule.

Petition:The Mangalore attack is a classic case of violating an individual's right rather than prophecising any religion or culture. The so called moral brigade and their political backers need to look very hard into the country's problems and decide what is morally correct. Highest corruption rates, crime rates, poverty, lack of fundamental human rights far outweigh such issues. The attack is just another typical example of male chauvinism that still exists in large parts of the country. Unable to accept women's empowerment, it is an attempt to push women back into dark ages. One must appreciate and commend the new generation, who not only are open in expressing themselves by asserting their individual rights, but are also smart enough to decide right from wrong and set their own limits. As parents, we must guide them and yet stand by in case they falter rather than raise the whip. What about hooliganism during holi with bhang drunk people or social gambling parties during Diwali and so on. If these are acceptable Hindu cultures, why not youngsters having some time out, if it is acceptable and within limitations set out by their own parents?

Those who carry out the assaults are unabashedly bold and unrelenting, because they know that there is a political and judicial construct that will help them get away with their crimes. That explains why after the attacks and the outrage that followed, they have been freely intimidating the victims and also the brave young man who came to their rescue.

Petition:Sir, I agree with the sentiments expressed by you above. I am surprised that all these sentiments go hybernating when the same incidents involve so called "minorities". Where was this indignation when Mumbai was burned by "minoroties" becasue a book was on sale and a few excerpts were published by a newspapaer. For that matter, 90% of such people are illiterate so it simply does not affect them. Where were you when "Davinci Code" was banned from screening in parts of India because it affected the feelings of "minoroties" in that region when the whole world was watching the movie on big screen. You and the rest of your clan should bury your heads in a mound of shit becasue that is where you all belong! May I request Karnataka Chief Minister to make appropriate arrangements?

What happened to the Aarushi case, what happened to the Bofors case, what happened to the communal riots case, what happened to the stock market scam,what is happening in Kashmir and what about the Kashmiri Pandits displacement INSIDE THEIR OWN COUNTRY, what happened to the mass Bangladeshis illegal infiltration into Indian West Bengal, what happened to the case of politicians chargesheeted by Late Satyendranath Dubey [I am sure you will be asking who was he, these days young journalists take up this prof. for Fashion and do not have the fire for truth burning in them and due to high level corruption, the efficient and honest are keeping away]....... WHEN SO MANY IMPORTANT NATIONAL ISSUES ARE THERE YOU ARE WASTING TIME JUST LIKE ANY OTHER ORDINARY CHANNEL IN SENSATIONALISING THIS NEWS!!! In a country where many ppl. are struggling in poverty, in a country where there is so much corruption which is drastically increasing, in a country where forests are being chopped and environmental laws flayed increasing threat to life on earth, don't you have any other WORTHWHILE NEWS TO FOCUS ON??? I could not help laughing at your suggestion that you will forward these to Yeddyurappa Kar. CM!!!...what a great and noble gesture by Rediff!! There are so many acts of violence much larger in scale...like Planned murger by political honchos - recent murder of an engineer by a BSP candidate in UP while compelling funds for Mayavati's birthday, brutal murder of senior citizens staying alone and the like - but your media is trying to give importance to this incident.....On closer thougts may be the selfstyled goondas chose a Hindu name and hence the condemnation!!!! If it were a christian name, you and the media would have shut up for fear of interfering in Christian religious matters or if it was a Muslim name, all political parties would compete with one another to protect it in the name of "secularism". More than this I will not say...for there are mroe important things happening which deserve strong condemnation from all sections of society!!!! Disappointing that there are very few media group which focus on what is important and disgusting that there are many which are puppets in the hands of politicians and sensationalise petty matters while CONVENIENTLY SIDE-STEPPING THE VITAL ONES!

Petition:This act of harassing the girls is indeed shameful and should definitely be condemned. Beating the girls like that is not part of our culture; people who are trying to convince that they have done it to protect Indian culture should first get their act right. No where in Indian culture do we have right to humiliate women. In a democratic country like ours some politicians , for their own vested interest, are trying to impose on people what they think is right or good. They are depriving the people of their fundamental rights. We should not tolerate it anymore else we might have to deal with a few more people like in mumbai who think they can vandalise any part of the city and get away with it. It is very important to have some strict laws to deal with the internal terrorists in India.

Everything has become Politics in India, that too before elections forgetting the crucial issues to be solved and some Public are also falling prey to this badaa-chadaa indirectly helping these failed Political Parties to win alternatively duing nothing for the Country and by reconciling and compromising with the National Issues on INternal and external defence matters.

Petition:Talibanization means putting acid on the women if they go to learn in school and gain knowledge, in short not allowing women to be wise , educated and knowledgable. Drinking and drug addiction is the biggest curse for our society. It has been proved scientifically that smoking, alcoholism and drug addiction has more adverse effect on women. Going to bars at odd hours in the night is not something that can be called an achievement for women's liberation. In fact drinking enslaves women and men alike. Gandhiji wanted complete prohibition in the country. But the liquor lobby is out to make money and share it with our graet politicians. That is why some people are happy if women go to pubs. In Mangalore the attack on pubs has proved to be a blessing in disguise for these women as they will not go astray due addiction to the liquor. Millions of men are destroying their families due their addiction to liquor. They are selling their family wealth and future of their families for liquor. Do you want women to destroy their families and culture or do you want women to build their families, culture and future. The attack on wrong things should be welcomed by all the right thinking people as it will dissuade these young women from going astray. Further you know the situation of law and order in our Country. Women are loooted and raped in Bangalore. Who will provide the security to these women when they are not in senses at odd hours in the mid-night. The pseudo-modern womens are least bothered about safety of women. They are on the pay rolls of liquor barons. Shaem to these people.

There was a similar incident that took place in M'bai few years back when the Shiv Sena was in full swing - this is nothing but a repetition of the same. Quote this - Muthalik: "Indian women drinking and dancing in pubs is not in our culture" Some time later, as shown in the clips on Times Now: Muthalik: "It is the time to Bomb...Every indian woman will carry bombs" - Is this in our culture?? Today if women are walking parallel to men, its a matter of privilege that we have progressed this much. Mother, daughter, sister, wife and so many acronyms we use for a woman. What price are they paying for? For being a woman? For being the fair sex? If a woman devotes 12 out of 24 hrs for her family, her social responsibilities and if she likes going out to a pub with whomsoever it may be, does it mean she is out of the indian culture? Cant she enjoy a couple of hours of freedom for her ownself? Wake up guys. Its high time we change our thinking. Hit the real issue which is out here - hit those guys who think women who go pubbing are a loose character. Its a modern generation.

Petition:I read with anguish and pain the voices which unfortunately are based on half truths and bias. All those people who raised their voice against the incident are perhaps giving vent to their false prestige. just imagine what a parent will do when the children do not follow the rules and misbehave. Most parents will resort to beating/slapping. Imagine what a teacher does to an errant pupil. Imagine what a crowd will do if they catch a pickpocket. Thrash him/her. what would you do if a thief is caught. Break his bones. what do neighbours do to a rowdy who misbehaves. beat him black and blue. ARE THESE ACTS PERMISSIBLE IN LAW? If a young girl goes to a pub it is by all means unsocial to those who believe that going to a Pub is bad. I challenge all those people who are raising their voice to ask 100 girls and women near them if they support the Pub Girls. Not even 5 will support for it is not our culture. All of you may have time, internet access and a desire to condemn the act and so voicing your biased thoughts. Think of those middle class, God-fearing, simple and general girls and women who are struggling to make their ends meet. Did anyone come near them or hurt the girls/women ? It is not correct to go on extending the impact of the incident as if all well-behaved women and girls are being attacked. If one were to extend such conclusions i can say that the defenders of pub going girls will not object to nudity, free sex, drugs, premarital sex and immoral acts by their so called MODERN and misconceived life style ?

Can you please make sure there are proper street lights provided and in working condition in all the major localities in the city? 4. Can you please make sure your MLA's refrain from taking bribes? 5. Can you please make sure there is proper utilization of the taxes we pay to the government? Compared to all these, your anguish on pub culture is as good as a street dog running behind any and every vehicle. Will await your reply to these.

Petition:Some time back in Manipur women had gone out of their homes to blacken the faces of their men and boys who had taken to addiction and drinking. Similarly in Andhra Pradesh, in many villages women protested against setting up of liquor shops and attacked men for drinking. Why? Is stopping people from drinking and getting addicted to drinking Talnanisation. Are development of good habits Talibanisation? No! It was only to stop their families from getting destroyed due to alcoholism? Did we condemn the action of theses women. Why the action of these people in Mangalore who attacked pubs is being condemned? They attacked pubs so that our families are not destroyed due to addiction. Why are there de-addiction centre and Alcoholic Anonymus if going to pubs is modern culture. When ever the evil in the society becomes pre=ponderant people are left with no alternative but to attack those who are hell bent on destroying the culture of the country and destroy their own familis. That is why women came out of their homes in Andhra and Manipur. Today Ram Sevaks have come out of their homes to attack the degeneration of the society in karnataka. We should welcome them and not condemn them.

Petition:Culture/Religion is not a hard pill to be pushed down one's throat. It should be practised on one's own free will. Forcing those girls to stay at home and not allowing to vent them out as they want in pubs(or where so ever) will just keep them dubious. They will be one chunk of people split in their will and way. Why is Ram sena wanting to keep such split girls behind themselves forcefully to promote their ideology? Just to show that there are enough number of heads following their ideology not by will in heart but by sheer fear? Ram Senaities - Just think on these words, guys. Compartively small but self content, self controlled and motivated Ram-Lakshman or Pandavas were the ones, who were able to get scores of people on their side to fight their cause. If you guys are given a platform to speak your ideology, I doubt how many sane heads you can attract. With such actions of yours, which trusts just brawns not brains, I wish to help you by naming yourself better as VANARA SENA than RAM SENA!!!!

Yes, physically beating up them is strongly condemnable, no matter they were in a pub. At the same time I am against the pub culture. Our conduct must be in civilised and socialised manner - for both men and women. I have read the views of respected 'petitioners' and mostly found that they are seeing only one side of the coin. They are using extreme words like 'talibanise' which can not be justified. We must go foward to the developed civilization and socialization and not backward to the stone-age, specially in our dressing. This incidence (which is strongly condemned) is done by some so-called Hindu activisits and that is why we are crying, otherwise we always keep mouth-shut even on much serious incidents done by other religion people. So, if a petition is needed to be submitted to any competent authority, should be on an issue which truly protect the dignity of women and not on pub culture.

Or perhaps, the Indian government wants to trample the rights of women and certain sections of society? What is Indian culture? I don't think there is one specific Indian culture. We have a multitude of cultures, some are patriarchal and some are matriarchal. In some rural areas, women smoke and drink. In certain societies in India, women are the breadwinners. Countries that treat women and men as equals prosper and develop. Countries and states that treat them unequally are doomed.

On the other hand these so called moral goondas hitting the girls was an assault on their freedom. I guess we can see what kind of women-beating culture these Shri Ram Sena people come from. It is an insult to Ram that they have chosen his name for their immoral activities. These people are no better than Taliban and should be dealt with using the strictest of laws.

And policing doesn't only means state police, it involves each and every citizen, when the vedieo shooting was done, why wasn't there anybody calling the police, at least this could have been done, the uncomfortable questions are 1) why the pub management didn't inform police 2) why any media person didn't call police, taking newsbyte was important, but at the same time saftey of those girls were important too 3) if the culprits are caught what kind of treatment they are getting in jails. 4) why the cheif minister and home minister are coming with conflicting views. If they don't want the culture ban the pubs, but they won't do that, and let the common people get harrased and mollested. There is more politics in this whole episode, and the victim is India.

There is absolutely no leadership in these people who call themselves as 'leaders'. The first rule of leadership is lead by example. Before pointing out fingers at others have you corrected a simple thing of teaching discipline in your organisation? When you agree that the manner of the protest was wrong then please correct yourself first before talking about others. One needs to introspect whether he has been a perfect example for the people. My dear 'activists' understand one simple fact about human psychology you need to inspire your countrymen, dictatorship will not unite but break people. Please focus on much more urgent and important issues in our country. Even today you will find child marriages, torcher on women, dowry system, untouchabilty etc. in our society(And people are forced to follow this atleast nobody is forced to go to the pub). Shri Ram never forced anyone to follow him, he just did what he believed in, people followed automatically. Thats leadership my dear friends. When the question of western culture and indian culture comes, unfortunately it has won over our Indian culture because people have chosen it willingly. Nothing was forced. But by telling this I no where mean to degrade our culture. Not being biased I (Likewise every Indian) believe that Indian culture is the greatest of all. But highlight its greatness rather than enforcing it. Our culture needs to be spread amongst the people.

Petition:The attitude of all people and parties involved is shocking and reeks of hypocrisy and an archaic attitude towards women. Indian culture has always been a progressive one and therefore the Indian civilization has survived transitions across ages.. Today's so called moral police is just looking for opportunities to prevent change and evolution of the Indian society which will only damage the Indian culture in the long run.. We should not get swayed by the regressive ideas they are trying to sow in the minds of all Indians and should raise our voice against them to tell them that we are living in a free democracy and will not be dictated by the whims and fancies of a few regressive people..

Petition:Hi, 1) Where are the so called 'moral policemen when women/girls are getting raped or eve-teased or molested? 2) Pub culture is not Indian culture, fine. But, is beating people up, especially WOMEN, Indian culture? 3) Even if women/girls are dancing nude or semi-nude or in any obscene way INSIDE the pubs, nobody from the OUTSIDE can see them dancing, can they?? This is equivalent to married people being intimate with each other within a house and not in front of everyone. Of course, it can be argued that married ones are different, but, even in pubs, couples who are in love with each other dance with each other! What's their(so called 'moral' policemen) problems? 4) Smoking/Drinking etc TOO are against Indian culture. Why is it that i find ALL the sena activists drinking/smoking/chewing tobacco and spitting on the streets all along their way?? 5) Formal Shirts/Pants are DEFINITELY NOT Indian culture. Whey wear them then? 6) Working for foreign companies is not good for Indian culture and in NO foreign company is Indian culture being followed, ban all the foreign companies and let everyone be jobless and unemployed! There are 50 more things i can come up with and argue about, but i am not so jobless as the sena activists. If people want to enjoy, let them enjoy. If you dont want your kids to enjoy that way, then dont let them. Leave others alone. It is a 'democratic' country and like muthalik can voice his opinions out, similarly those who want to enjoy and freak out, CAN do so!!! P.S: PLEASE send this to the chief minister and MAKE SURE he READS and UNDERSTANDS what i am trying to tell, especially the last line!

Petition:People who carried out this attack on young innocent boys and girls should not only be tried immediately in courts but their punishment should be far more severe than what a similar attack on a boy or a girl would otherwise attract. This is because in Mangalore it was not just an attack on 5-6 individuals causing them physical harm but an attack causing grave damange on many fronts. It was an attack on our freedom of expression and freedom of choice - two fundamental rights guaranteed by constitution to every citizen of India. It was to instill a fear psychosis in the minds of young, urban, educated youth. It was an attack on liberalism and modernity and to pull India back into medieval ages. Hence, the punishment should be swift and severe to desist the rest of the Taliban like barbarians masquerading as Morality Cops from making any further attempt to undermine the tolerant fabric of India and individual's constitutional rights.

Petition:It is a shameful act. In the name of culture and religion these vultures are prying on the privileged privacy of a person's life. And more despicable is the attack on women. These rascals should be put behind bars. And a resolve should be made that anywhere at anyplace in this country if ever a group of hooligans under the guise of a political or any group attack any body in public place, the other people at that place should not be a silent, inactive witness to it. These people should be given a fitting reply, by thrashing the lives out of them. And if they ever attack a woman, the witnesses should also be treated as a party to the crime. Women...you have every right to do everything you deem right. Nobody..in this country has a right to give a character certificate to anybody. And for that matter even a beggar or a thief has more character than this political groups driven by religion. For, Ashok Gehlot and all those old BJP politicians, its time they retire and head off to wherever they find peace of mind. If you cannot respect a woman, you do not deserve to lead anything forget about leading the country. May these statements, doings and stands of these politicians be highlighted at the time of elections. Rediff and its fellow news media, please take note of this. Make a political biodata of each of these vultures so that we remember not to rest anything in their hands. Its a shame that Sonia Gandhi has still not spoken anything about this issue considering that Sheila Dixit sent out such a beautiful message by saying, my children go to the pubs.

In fact Mangalore police commissioner told in front of media that there is no law to take action against him. In fact PC should not reveal the fact this will encourage the culprit and they will arrange good lawyer to scot free. As we know laws are 1947 laws and there are big loopholes and if you have good lawyers like shanti bhusan, Prashat, Harish Salve, Soli Sorabjee and many senior supreme court lawyers who are experts in their profession and once they start the arguments in supreme court the judges are also thinking how to move and which direction will go. We should also know that present supreme court lawyers are long back student of above lawyers and nobody want to overrule the teacher morality. This is fact, which we have accept.

Petition:Hi, Fact that there are pubs means anyone has the freedom to go there. We have to decide how we behave in public. The guys who have perpetrated this horrific act in the name of culture should be banned from holding any public office or post or supporting any political party or standing for any kind of election, local, state or nation-level. They are infringing on a fundamental right of freedom of those lady citizens to make their own choices. They have to understand what the implications of such infringement should be.

Petition:All these political parties who claim to have India’s best interests at heart are a bunch of jobless, mindless, hungry for any publicity, retards. The only solution is to ban them from contesting elections and ideally they should be thrown behind bars for life for behaving like mad dogs.

Petition:Our vedic culture is all about individual transformation. It talks about the free will to each individual to live life as he/she wants.It clearly states that Existence is so loving that it has given free will to be in bondage. Time and again these so called "Culture Police" indulge in vulgar and violent activities in the name of saving our culture. First they don't know anything about it that's why they are doing all this and second they are unemployed people with too much idle time to peep into others life and see what others are doing. Have they reached the state of "Enlihtenment" for whcih the whole vedas is all about.If not then what right does they have to preach to others. Our culture believes in changing oneself not forcing others to change.Let these yet to mature people understand. And don't bring Rama into it. We know our Rama much better than others and we need not learn it from violent kids.Give these people some work, all the problem will disappear.

An analysis of the men convicted in this case will revel that if not un-employed, these would be radicals who have an extemist behaviour and hence have not been doing well professionally.Even if someone pays them 1000-2000 rupees with some biased gyan on "morality", these guys would happily do this same act over and over again.

Petition:These attacks will continue not only on women but other communities until and unless we stand up and do something about it. We Indians always have a habit of turning our backs and running away at the slightest act of rowdism. We just do not have it in us to stand our ground and fight them fist for fist. When people see somebody being bashed by such mobs most of the time they just stand around and watch the person being bashed or run away rather than fighting shoulder to shoulder with that person who is being bashed. People do not even take the trouble to call the cops on their cell phones when they see something like this. The only way to stop such incidents is that when passerbys see some mob bashing up a person all the passerbys should come together at once as a mob, beat up the bashers themselves, and then grab the bashers by their collars and take them as a group collectively to the nearby police station. This will not only rescue an innocent person from being bashed but will also be a deterrent for such future bashings. Every time some mob attacks passerbys should attack continuously. Make the bashers run for their lives all the time. Only then something like this will stop.

They broke the law, and did so brazenly. Indeed, they ought to be prosecuted vigorously as per the law. It does not matter if someone likes or does not like to see women in pubs. They are citizens of this country and have as much right to sit in a pub and converse, or do whatever they wish to lawfully do there. The attitude of the people who created the mayhem or those who control them and sent them there in the first place betrays arrogance and a fascist mindset. This needs to be stopped, right now.

Petition:Hinduism is a culture, its not a religion by itself. so there can be no hard and fast rules to follow, no founder of Hinduism, no eternal goerning body. We are following a culture which our forefathers followed and passed it to us. How can a group of goons self style themselves as protectors of our culture and attack people? If they justify in a manner that women need to be conservative, which hindu upanishad/ veda/ purana mentioned it? These rouges need to feel ashamed calling themselves as hindus because respect for women is the highest priority in Hinduism, unlike other religions, we have female dieties as ultimate sources of power, knowledge and wealth. Is hitting and trashing a woman in public, a cultural deed? We, as Indians by and large are free individuals, and we have liberty to follow our path of life as long as we can justify our self (aatma). Certainly we need not follow any guidelines fixed by these goons. At the same time, we are Indians, and we hold a great respect in west because of our values. We have a big responsiblty to balance our modern social life and ancestral values and I am sure each and every 21st century Indian will be on my side.We are free and responsible Indians.

If these so called ppl are the supposedly bearers of the relegion then where ever has it been written or told to treat women the way they did? Leave Hinduism, where is the basic humanity disappear and animalism come from? They really deserve severe punishment so that people realize and learn that in the name of relegion they cannot do whatever they want and just get away.

All forms of religious fundamentalism should be avoided as they ultimately end up only curbing the freedom of women.We women in India have taken many years to get some amount of freedom and right to education and do not wish to pushed back into the dark ages. Resort to violence can never be justified and is another form of terrorism.

Petition:Shame Shame Shame..I can write it more than 100000 times right now..But what they(Sri Ram Sena Workers) did in Karnataka is more than shameful than that. It was very painful to see that act on TV. Gov. Should now give them punishment like death or cut their hands show that they or any one can't even think to do the same with women’s. How shameful was that whole event. They are exploiting the name of Lord Rama. Lord Rama Never wanted this type of brutal act against women’s. And who are they (Sri Ram Sena Workers)to decide that what other people should do to enjoy the life. Every one is free in India to do any thing to enjoy the life if they are not disturbing others life. It is government moral responsibility to protect citizen and I want to ask question to Sri Ram Sena Workers "Is it not attack on Our culture to attack and try to touch N Beat women’s like this???" Here I want to say that all they made it happen because they want to exploit all women’s sexually. But when they saw that that women’s not even gave them a look then this was the cheapest way to reach them and touch them. Again I must say only one thing. That this was the shameful day for our country. Gov. must take strict action and its our moral responsibility too to make sure that no one again dare to do that. Because this time may b you will be the victim.

Petition:Dear Cheif Minister, Please take strong action against the men who attacked boys and girls in the Pub in Mangalore. Violence is not part of our culture and so are Pubs. please close these pubs down as Indians have many outdoor activities which we can do rather than going in to a pub. Here in the UK I have seen the problems created by pub culture and this is not the future I would like to see for India. If gambling can be illegal, drugs can be illegal, pornography can be illegal then why not Pubs? We are a family oriented people and we do not need such activities to find 'happiness' in life. Unfortunately, people do not understand that the women in a society have a greater role to play in shaping up the future. We do not like to see our future mothers as pub crawlers. Since a society should not be biased on a gender basis, we also have to decide that men should not be allowed to go to pubs either. I hope you will take a fair decision on the men who committed the crime, as well as on the pubs that comes up in every nook and corner of the state. Regards, Sandeep

Petition:Mr. Yeddyurappa, Kindly consider that one of the girl's who is attacked is your own daughter. How would you feel irrespective of whether you approve her to go to pub or not? Secondly, as a CM you need to take a stern action against all the goons who actually undertake these pre-planned attack against general public under the clear direction of their leaders. Their leaders easily get away by saying that the incident has happened were when we were out of station or unaware of it at the time of occurrence; and is based on their followers sudden anger. This is a clear lie. These group of people are basically punishing others for their own shortcomings of either not able to afford the higher middle class life style or being too backward in thinking w.r.t the fast paced development happening in social or economic structure of cities like Bangalore. The punishment to the goons should be atleast for 1 year with a heavy penalty of Rs 1 Lacs per person and above. Also, the 1st hand statement of the ladies and men who were attacked should be considered the evidence enough to prosecute the attackers. Hope you also understand that had Lord Ram been the leader of Sri Ram Sena, he would not have crossed his 'marayaada' atleast in this barbaric style.

What if some unruly elements had done the same to the mothers, daughters and wifes of the accused, would they have been cowards and kept quiet? If few women wear undecent clothes, fault lies with their families for permitting this, even then there is zero excuse for terrifying these women. Each needs to mind his/her own business and not act as moral guardians, when guardians turn a blind eye to the happenings. This attitude will not stop women in pub. If the present attackers are really keen on improvement of society, then their representative (preferably a female) could have gone over and told the ladies in the bar that by clinging or low neck clothes they are indeed inviting trouble for themselves. and hence the need to dress covered.

Petition:The propgators of violence on such issues are just not law abiding citizens. This is no way to impose cultural values. People should be culturely awakened, not violently. The violence perpetrator should be dealt with strong action against them. They are not doing good to society. Let Govt. tell them by strong action-that attacks on women is not civilised culture. Is it a heroic act to attack on women. It is a shame. These so called leaders of Ram Sena etc. are not leaders, they are goondas in search of fame, gather other goondas for such acts and become overnight the socalled leaders. They are just shopkeepers of netagiri. They fool our illeterate people. If they are the true social leaders of a civil society, they can send their message in other methods also- like one in Gandhigiri/through Baba Ramdev like movement and other NGOs. They can first set examples by putting their own families in front of such demonstrations and gathering mass appeal for a cultured society. Rather than that they should take law into their hands. But shame to our Politicial Leaders- who in the name of Rama will either garner votes or afraid to question such elements for vote banks. People should not forget that such politicians and goondas only questioned the heroism of ATS Chief, Mr. Karkare and others. And Sad part is that even our Baba Ram Dev also became blind in voicing his concern over arrest of Sadhavi. Baba Ram Dev, you are no doubt a great man of our BHARAT. But do not oppose anybody- if somebody is apparently SADHU. And Please better you remain apolitical and donot share dias with BJP leaders who take proud in sitting with Sadhus in the guise of Hinduism keeping an eye on their vote bank. Baba Ram Devji, your sainthood should not give birth to such false saints like Ram Sena Chief. Please be aware. And you must, and must seek apalogy for supporting political parties and other sadhus-when ATS Chief was doing his duty towards his Nation. He was not less than you. Baba Ram Devji, his and his collegues sacrifice is thousand time better than yours. In your zest of popularity, please do not forget, you will be victimisisng other saints, other simple people and also breed votebank politicians and such goondas who attack women in the name of religion. Babji- give a call to Indians who love you that attacks on women are shameful and that such people are not civilised. If you do that you will truly be a saint.

Also it is a shame that none of the common men who assembled there tried to resist /oppose the attackers.

Lately it is seen that anything to do with Hindus is blown out of proportion as that is what makes some people feel (READ HINDUS ONLY) secular. When have you seen these so called seculars raising their voice against religions other than HINDUISM. Hinduism and Hindus have become a soft target now a days, even for media as they very well know that they can say anything against it and get away with it. People who were protesting, are some times compared with the terrorists who carried out bombay attack and some time with talibanis. Anything to defame HINDUISM. How long?

Petition:Using religion and terrorising the common man cannot be the way to garner political goodwill or win any vote bank. How different are these organisations from the Taliban which is sponsored by terrorist states ? Is Karnataka governed by people who have similar ideologies ? Either the BJP clearly shows it is not associated with these organisations by outlawing them and ensuring they are jailed with the maximum sentence possible, or we the people will ensure it is voted out of power in every state. If the CM cannot act, then let him say so. The people can then understand they are at the mercy of these organisations who have members that are criminals and molest women.

They have absolutely no right to take umbrage under the ever tolerant Hinduism to commit such acts of crime. Someone needs to give these guys a lesson or two on Hinduism, this is a religion which refers to the courtesans in the court of Indira, Rambha and Oorvasi as Maatha (Mother). I am a Hindu and I love my religion as a way of life. Not that I disrespect any of the other religions, each one is special in its own way. I strongly condemn such heinous acts of crime under the guise of religion. As an Hindu my sincere apologies to all those women who have been humiliated in this.

Petition:while appreciating your concern for containing moral policing it should also be mentioned that it is not in accordance with our culture where women go to pub for drinks and some other anti social activities. Still the way the women were attacked should be condemned because violence is no answer to any problem. Pubs should not be kept open beyond a certain time and alcoholism should be discouraged. But what is surprising is that while these type of incidents gets highlited (justifiably or not) in a big scale, the attack of MNS on hotels and universities goes practically unnoticed. This is realy a tragedy. May be we have a dual policy while dealing with such voilence. God save our country.

A seriously stern action for one such activity would discourage others in indulging in such acts. I plead the supreme court to ban all such political groups and issue a urgent notification to governments of all states to take immediate actions. Lawmakers and police should be held responsible for this. When the cameras can reach that place in time why can't the cops? Let the highest court show these petty criminals cum wannabe politicians their place. Lock them up, issue a gag order on leaders, mass arrest these so called activists as soon as possible.

Petition:We talk about our Indian culture. No doubt it is excellent but in our culture also, we have characters like Urvashi, Menaka, Rambha etc. That apart, let us realise that,in every culture, morality and good behaviour are expected of every human being , BOTH MEN AND WOMEN, not just women alone. Is it right that women whose definition of morals defer from ours be subjected to brutality and shamed in public? Whether the women in the pub were right or wrong is not the question here. If these women were being punished for the wrong they have done, then why are we not rising up so violently against every wrong act, immoral and anti-social, that is being committed in the country by BOTH MEN AND WOMEN? Have men been given any special concession in the Indian culture to be vulgar and immoral? Is it to be assumed that Indian culture condones / approves of corruption, goondaism, lack of respect for women, murder, abortion, divorce, child abuse, homo sexuality, etc etc.while it comes strongly only against immoral behaviour by women? Here again I dare not passing anyjudgment on those girls, as I do not know anything of what was happening in the pub. But one thing I want to ask..... How can pubs thrive unless they are frequentled by men, who encourage these women....and may even be the cause for these women to be present there. LET US THINK IT OVER! There are so many platforms, in a democratic country like ours, from which a right thinking individual can raise his/ her voice against the wrongs that happen in the society. At the individual level, if someone is genuinely concerned, they could try to help the people who have taken to unacceptable and undesirable social behaviour, through the help of some organization that take up rehabilitation programmes in such fields... and try to bring them back to good behaviour, by counselling etc. INSTEAD, if individuals / groups start doing moral policing, then it will give rise to lawlessness in the name of morality. This should never happen.AND IF AND WHEN IT HAPPENS THE GUILTY SHOULD BE PUNISHED!

Lets give the young brigade of politicians a chance to run the country. Perhaps they will be able to do something. These (Mangalore attack) are extreme cases and should in most extreme manner. Eg. After confirming the culprits from the visuals available with media, their hands should be cut at the shoulder level. We need to do this only once and then the results will automatically come. In case of rape too, the convicts should be eliminated through false encounters. We need to do these only in case of 25 to 30 convicts and once the news on false encounters comes out in open, the cases of rape will also come down. These might look as extreme steps but we need to do this for a better future and people like Pramod Mutalik and Yeddyurappa should retire and take rest at home kyunki inke umar mein kaam nahi karna chahiye, bulki ghar baith kar aaram karna chahiye.

Since, we are following constitution, therefore, we are liable for actions under law. 3) Since we are abide by the law as framed by Constitution of India, we, being the common citizen, following our law. It means, there is law and we are a common people. 4) Has any right is given to me to go away from the path set by the forefathers? If yes, then, I am not the man who cares for law under constitution because law is made when forefathers designed our society. 5) If I am going out of path set by forefathers, I have no right to claim that law will protect me. You are justifying that pub culture is good and whatever happened against pub mates in Mangalore is bad. In such case, tomorrow, I want to move on the street nakedly, in front of fellow sisters & ladies. Do you allow me?

What are the various law keepers and so-called politicians, who all are supposed to look after the very basic human-rights of the citizens of this country, where have they been absconding so far? How are they able to maintain silence of this issue, despite all the graphic evidence available from the incident. Besides, what about the morality of those bystanders, who witnessed this incident first-hand? Has this so-called modern and previously unheard version of the Hindu religion, propagated by this very particular Sri Ram Sena, made its followers lose all sense of their morality? Take law in your hands; cause harm to fellow human-beings; disrespect women - are these the followings of this new interpretation of the Hindu religion? And what about all the above described law keepers and policy makers? Have they also secretly taken allegiance with this modern interpretation of the religion, which allows them to refrain from carry out their professional duties and ignore crude violence? It is hard to digest that even in these modern times, such crimes are allowed to take place, and even go scot-free!!

Petition:The so called Ram seva activists have commited greater sin than the actual problem with their so called moral policing. I am not here to talk what is right and what is wrong in the Hindu culture. The way they reacted to their thoughts and beliefs by harming women is truly Un-Indian. If at all they had a problem with women going to pubs, there is a way to showcase it. This is definitely not the way to go about it which makes litte difference between these so called Ram-sevaks and the terrorists from pakistan. I would sincerely like to know how many Ram-sevaks who seized the opportunity to moral police women by way of molesting have read Bhagavat Geetha? I am 100% sure none of them have read it, because if they had read they would have never even thought about harming any living thing, leave alone women. My greatest request to the Hindu culture saviours is "Please do good to others in the name of your religion, people will start believing in you". For this you need to first read the whole Geetha (thats the holy book of Hinduism, not a name of a girl visiting pub) and start preaching the goodness in the religion by spreading its messages in day today activities. See the way christianity is spreading, their main objective is lending a helping hand. Can't the Hindu activists learn from them which has been going on for ages?. So my message to the Hindu activists is clear - Spread Hinduism through love, affection and help. Everyone will listen to you. Spread the divine messages of Lord Krishna from the Bhagavat Geetha to people of India. Show the true color of Hindusim, please resist goondaism and violence, it is not in our culture.

"FAKE CUSTODIANS OF HINDUISM" like these should be given warnings against inciting hatred among the uneducated youth and must be stopped. These parties stand for everything that is against freedom, unity and brotherhood among us Indians. I, as an Indian Hindu Brahmin, REFUSE TO ACCEPT THEIR ATTITUDES ON HINDUISM. We should nip this in the bud now before it becomes a stronger force that we cant control. If I have a daughter some day, I would like to believe that,as an adult, she can go to anyplace she wants, not be harrassed and not be influenced by such sickening events.

There should be a provision to punish persons causing damage to public property and to society and this should be a severe enough for all others to understand the repercussions of disobeying law and order.

Similar to the happenings on the other side of LOC,we too have a splinter Group of saffron family vie for notoriety and resort to such vandalism to catch the public attention.

Petition:I strongly condemn the attacks on women in the Mangalore pub last week. If the attempt was to uphold cultural values, will the Sri Ram Sene explain what according to them are Indian norms of behaviour with women? Is there any cultural aspect there? Is it enough to apologise for molesting a woman? Having said that, I also fail to understand why governments are attempting to stop "pub culture", "mall culture" and the like. I am a teetotaller, and against the consumption of alcohol for reasons of health and faith, but I do not believe in using force to popularise my ideas. Don't the actions of the BJP and its supporters like the Sene amount to "forcible conversion"? I believe that anyone who opposes "pub culture" must first ban the sale of alcohol rather than closing pubs. I do not understand the difference between drinking at home or in a pub. The present attempt to close pubs is merely a publicity stunt aimed at rural votes. Nobody wants to ban alcohol for obvious reasons.

I am sure that these girls who visited the Pub did so without causing any harm to anyone.So, these so-called "moral responsibles" have no business in doing what they did. The very act of visiting a pub by women was termed as "immoral" and against out tradition. But, does the action of the SriRam Sena Sainiks pomote Indianism? Is it inline with the customs of our country? This incident againg brings into focus, the male dominated society of our country. Its high time, such chauvnist men stop wasting time in "trying to create fear and havoc" and bother about promoting our cluture and tradition through meaningful medium. Hoping that the Government takes some action at the earliest without waiting for the public's extreme reactions. This issue is above all parties and politics. Hope the CM understands that.. Asha.

The Chief should be told that He is solely responsible for the acts of THE GROUP. If he cannot control his GROUP, don't form one.

Petition:Sir, I am totally disturbed with the incident of goondaism at the pub. Who are these people to decide on what is good for us or what is not. What is the difference between these people and the barbaric Taliban ? What made them don the mantle of moral police of the free citizens ? These people are very mistaken if they think that we would fall for their definition of Hinduvta. We Hindus know what Hindutva is. We do not need such hooligans to teach us. It is not that I like pub culture. I never go to pubs because the atmosphere there is not my cup of tea. Just because I do not like it, I cannot dictate and violate the freedom of others who choose to go to the pubs. What has angered me is not that these hooligans went and raided a pub, but the anger is for the violation of fundamental rights. These hooligans touting themselves as moral police should be locked up once and for all. Regards, Muralidhar.

The goverment should ensure there is no ilegal activity under the laws of India- that's it, nothing more than that. MORAL POLICING IS NOT THE GOVERMENT'S OR ANYONE'S SUBJECT MATTER.

These moral polices are the first whom you can get to see in the beer bars and country liquor bars. In their own way they can do any thing but not to others, this is their policy. It is because of our law enforcing agencies due to political interference or considerations that these goons get away with this kind of anarchy. LET US NOT BE RELIGIOUS FUNDAMENTALISTS. I want to laugh at the Chief Minister who says that he wants to restrict the "Pub Culture". If the pub culture exists, the licence for that has been given and maintained by his own administration. Why the CM has awakened just now. Why are we not able to screw up the law enforcing agencies who act just mute spectators at the time of incidence and hesitatingly act after everything is over? Why can't they be pro-active and act according to the Law of the country? I think first we should enact a law for punishing such criminals who collide with their political masters.

Petition:sir, the present campaign only highlights the role MEDIA is playing in highlighting the non-issues. as i understand the events were as follows : (a) a pub was admitting women in along with male escorts and permitting them to booze and dance, though dance in bars is prohibited in Karnataka (b) some 'goons' got wind of it and planned the attack. to gain publicity, journalists were informed in advance. (c) the goons gained entry into the pub, drove the people away, misbehaved with the women and beat them up. (d) the events were captured in camera by the journalists present on the spot and beamed to the nation (e) all channels / newspapers / online media have lost no time in questioning both the purpose of the attack, the necessity for attacking helpless women. they are also questioning WHAT THE ONLOOKERS WERE DOING when the beating was going on and are APPLAUDING PAWAN SHETTY AS THE SOLE HERO. This raises a question mark over the sincerity of the the MEDIA itself. It is clear that MEDIA had advance information of the events which were to unfold. if MEDIA was sincere about protecting the women, why it did not inform the police ? The police would have come in time and prevented what were to happen? MEDIA wants some events to survive. events are the bread and butter of the media. it wants some unfortunate events to take place, records them and beams them to the nation and harps on that for several days / weeks so that its columns / news slots can be filled. this has been the conduct of the media earlier during mumbai terrorists attack and the death of wife of a karnataka MLA as the bar owner and the chief perpetrator were both from the same town / community we can easily suspect that it has to do more with personal rivalry / hafta for allowing illegal operations - rather than any ideology. it may be noted that a person involved in yellow journalism had arranged a demonstation at MANIPAL a couple of years ago in front of a bar / dancing club - because the owners refused to meet his demands for money adequately. later he was murdered when the demonstration was in progress. it is high time, journalists start thinking that they are citizens first. the priority should be on preventing things from happening rather than doing post-mortem. if journalists think that their duty is journalism and reporting and nothing else, they should accept that every other individual of this country also has a right to have a narrow-minded view of things and his role - and STOP QUESTIONING OTHERS, POLICE, GOVERNMENT, ONLOOKERS ETC.

Petition:I strongly oppose the morality brigade that is out to keep a check on the moral code of people who live in independent, democratic, republic of India and petition the Government of Karnataka to take the strictest action action against these hooligans.. India has always been a pluralistic state that has welcomed everybody with open arms. The Jews, the Christians, the Muslims, the Zoroastrians, the Parsis, the Baha'is, they all have been welcomed and they have shown their gratitude by seamlessly integrating themselves in the pluralistic fabric of India in the best manner possible. Of course, it has not been a complete assimilation. However, that has only proved to be a thing of beauty than otherwise. The government of the day is voted in to pursue and implement political policies that do good to the populace. They have a legal framework and an executive to ensure that the laws that they frame are honoured by the population. Nobody, absolutely nobody, has the right to take law into his own hands and dispense justice as s/he feels fit. The Mangalore incident is an absolutely abhorrent act that I condemn in the strongest manner possible. I, as a citizen of this country, hereby requests the courts to take suo moto action against these moronic hooligans and not to let them go to jail. Instead they should be asked to work on any socially relevant cause and the proceeds of the same should be disbursed to the ladies who had to go through that horrific incidents. If the perpetrators of the crime are made to go to jail, it will only add to their sense of pseudo-causeism. Instead they should be made to pay for their misdemeanours in a manner that thrusts into their meagre brains the fact that their conduct was not only foolish but also at a great cost to themselves. In addition to the litany of charges that can be filed against them, I also propose the following: 1. Complete debarment of holding any public office. 2. Complete and comprehensive withholding / revoking of driving license. 3. 1 year compulsory duty at an old-age home.

Pubs and dens are the places where brawls could come up, if not on this, on some other occasion. That too why did the girls choose to do it at midnight? It's all right to gloat over the need for freedom and all that stuff. Are we not seeing how girls and women are being teased, raped and even murdered in many parts of the country. Is not expected of educated and sensible girls to be wary of booze parties that too on nights and outside their home? Do these girls and their supporters think of the other vast sections of people in the country, including the poorer. The non-boozing women far outnumber the boozing girls in the country and they cannot expect to have a field day and manipualte to spread their culture everywhere.

Petition:We live in a democracy. Nothing could be farther from the truth. It would be better to say that we live in what we think is a democracy. The government that we elected has let us down as it always has. It has given silent powers to organizations to terrorize the people of this country in any way that it likes. The fact remains that we elect governments that doesnt care for its people. A government that does not respect its people's right to freedom is a dictatorship. Suddenly the word culture has far reaching implications to people like me. It has become a stick with which people can be beaten to submission, to accept that which is not acceptable. Mr. Yeddyurappa, I voted for the BJP this time because I felt cheated by the other parties that formed earlier governments. It now makes me believe that yours is no better than the others. I thought I saw an Obama in you, alas I have never been more wrong. No government can tell its people what it should or should not do. The least that you can do is to enforce the right to freedom of the common man. If you keep pushing us like this, one day we, the people will hit back like the tsunami that gathers momentum with every wave. Please Mr Yeddyurappa, do what is good for the people and let that be driven by the people themselves. Great leaders dont become great by doing what they think is good for the people but by listening to the people and doing what is good for them. I dont believe that you or your government will do anything to safe guard the common man's interests. I'm sure you and your government have your own agenda. I'm just hoping that change will come to India.

If a person can vote at the age of 18 then the person can also choose their own way of life. Who has given rights to these self styled so called leaders of culture to impose their will. And after attacking the so called leader has the gumption to call these victims as "my sisters", no wonder thats the value system and thats the mind set one must have inherited. Lets not create this environment where free citizens of this country should not feel that their rights have been snatched out.

Punjab police took action against drunken girls few days back. Now India is reacting as if women were attacked while attending prayers.

Petition:Mangalore incident cannot be considered as Talibanisation but, print and electronic media is creating a pyshic phobia in the minds of the citizen. Even though we strongly criticize the violent incidents happened in Mangalore, we fully supports any organizations attempt to protest pub culture and drugs culture prevailing in India. These pub culture and drugs culture is ruining young generation as well as country’s prospects very badly. It is the duty of parents and the matured younger generation to be an Indian and behave like an Indian and not imitate any type of foreign cultures to grow in India. If Govt. of India and States acted promptly and timely, these types of incidents never will happens in India and Indian Culture and civilization would ever prosper any types of foreign invasion. It is the habits of so-called secular and intellectuals to talk only in foreign language even in their house or in any public place and even in the working place even though majority of the people are well versed in the local language where they are residing. Because of this only our country’s greatest languages are in bad shape on all states. Instead of supporting the pub culture, we should strongly oppose it for the benefit of our Indian Culture and Civilization to be kept intact. Govt. of the country and States to protect this by law and individual organizations to come forward to organize protest rallies against this culture peacefully. Violence struggle but to be avoided.

Petition:So far, the CM has not shown a strong side to deal with hooliganism of any sort severely, be it the church attacks or the attacks on women in a pub. Both times, we know that groups which are in some way connected to the BJP called the shots and the CM bowed his head before them. He is a CM in a secular country and he has taken an oath to discharge his duties without favor, compulsion, or any sort of influence. So far, we do not see this. I am afraid that the leaders who instigated these attacks will go scot free and become more stronger and daring in their actions. We want the CM to stand by the oath of office he has taken and discharge his duties with honesty rather than with any allegiance or favoritism to any particular group, religion, sect, political party, culture, etc. Let the common man/woman know and feel that he/she is protected and can live as a free Indian in a great democratic country like ours. We need him to take stock of the situation and punish the hooligans of these incidents severely that they do not raise their heads again. We need the CM to pay more attention to improving the infrastructure in the city and providing better amenities to Bangalore and to all the towns, cities, and villages in Karnataka. We want him to help the farmers have a better life. Bring welfare to the poor who live in slums. Help the underpriviledged. Clean up the government offices of corruption and favoritism. Make the police force free of corruption, discharge their duties free of political influences, and protect the citizens with honesty, integrity, honour and courage. Please, please CM, distance yourselves from hardliners like Bajrang Dal, RSS, Rama Sena, etc., who seem to have a free hand thinking that you will not do anything to them come what may. Tell them and make them realize that the rule of the land (India) is above their rule and you are a strong CM and will not allow them to do anything as they like to terrorize the people of this State and Nation.

Petition:If the law of the land is being broken, every citizen has the right and duty to report it to the police. If people indulged in illegal obscenity or nudity, any one who witnessed it was bound to report it to the police. The Ram Sena members too, as law-abiding citizens, had the right and duty to report to the police if they came across illegal obscenity or nudity. The Ram Sena members could have enforced their right and duty in a perfectly legal and appreciable way. They could have gone to the place, entered the spot one by one, observed the proceedings and, if the goings-on there crossed the legal limits, they could have stood up together, peacefully protested by shouting slogans, displaying placards, and urging the persons (who indulged in illegal obscenity or nudity) to abide by the law. If any lady was nude, the Sena members could have provided her with enough cloth to cover her nudity, and urged her to continue whatever she had been doing but without being nude and without breaking the law. If the legal bounds of obscenity and nudity were being exceeded, the Sena members could have video graphed the evidence, called in the police, provided them the proof, and asked for appropriate action. The Sena members should have shunned violence all the while. Had this been their approach, the Ram Sena would have received wide appreciation and support. Many members of the public would have even come forward to join the Sena, attracted by its non-violence. Several other, similar organizations would have emulated them too. And, more important, their ideological mission against illegal obscenity and nudity would have been accomplished. Instead of following the non-violent approach, what have the Sena members actually done? They beat up ladies, groped them, stripped them and molested them and would, perhaps, have advanced further but for the several cameras that were vying with each other to capture as much as possible. I fail to see any ideology worth the name in the Sena members’ conduct. What they displayed was the clear intention to exploit the occasion to the hilt, for molesting ladies, under the guise and protection of ideology, culture, civilization and so on. If the idea of the Ram Sena members was to prevent obscenity and nudity and thus protect culture, why did they themselves indulge in obscenity by groping, stripping and molesting ladies, throwing to the winds the very culture they should have protected? Sheer carnal desire was their driving force and not any lofty ideology. They were more cunning, crafty and vicious than the common eve-teasers and molesters found on the street and should be dealt with accordingly. Coming to nudity and obscenity, what are these anyway? What or where is the legal limit? A woman should have the full liberty to dress the way she likes. It should be her own choice. If she goes nude where is the need to punish her? It is we, the men, who should bridle ourselves. Our lack of self-control is not reason enough to punish women. It is time men respected women and women’s rights. The extent of protection, respect and indulgence that women enjoy in a society is the best measure of its civilization. Where women are not safe, where they are forced to wear straight-jackets and chastity-belts, we cannot claim to have advanced much beyond the barbarian-stage. Men who are easily overcome by carnal desire and who, discarding the robes of civilization at the drop of a hat, molest women need to be kept fastened inside dungeons. I do not like nudity but I am ready to fight, to my last breath, for women’s right and liberty to wear or not to wear, whatever or whichever way she likes. Sunil M S

No one tells me what i ought to do as long as it is within the confines of the law. I dont care if it is immoral as long as it is lawful. my definition of the moral police is the saddist, impotent, coward group of people, underacheivers, losers who could not do anything worthwhile in their lifetime. The kind of people who could not control any aspect of their lives, neither personal nor professional. Eternal failures filed with insecurity. It is not a moral activity to find strength in grouping and attacking innocent females. To me it is no different than gang rape. One one hand they call themselves followers of Ram and acts which not even Ravan would have done. This is not a thing that a person with self respect would ever do. we are educated people here and you would find lots of them who would have done a better study Indian culture then many of your ministers. Let me remind you sire if you are unaware that a month back India faced one of the worst terrorist attacks. Therein our country faces a problem of much bigger magnitude and these issues which divide the nation internally and issues which are aimed at securing your vote bank are totally uncalled for.There are lots of things that India can benefit more from than from preserving the great "Indian culture" which once upon a time included socially flawed practices such as Sati, dowry, child marriages, untouchability etc. I am sure your state faces issues like crime, poverty, literacy, Employment, lack of infrastructure, poor health and till the time there is a visible progress on any of these fronts, respected Minister sir, we donot want you commenting on this hollow subjects such as this. Having given you the mandate, people look forward to you for their safety. Little do you realise by making such loose comments you are actually encouraging these anti social elements. Little do yo realise that this will lead to a heavy intolerant attitude in the society giving rise to crime. Moral values are not something that you can enforce on anyone.

Petition:Whether you call it moral policing or preservation of our culture, no body has a right to affect my freedom as long as my actions do not affect others either directly or indirectly. It is not just against women? Can you justify an attack on men just because they were taking drinks in a pub? Fashion is a relative term. What is fashion to you may not be fashion to me. Just because you do not like the way in which I dress, you cannot stop me. My food may be a poison to you. But you cannot stop me from taking my food.One man's food may be other man's poison. I may beleive or may not believe in the Almighty. You cannot force your opinion on me. I may not belong to the religion you belong. You cannot criticize my regligion. I may belong to a forward community or backward community. You cannot prevent my from growing. In the name of reservation you should not prevent my growth and deny my opportunities. Unfortunately all these things are happening because there is no unity of purpose. The sole purpose of every politician is to earn wealth for his family and for generations at the cost of public. To achieve this, the politicians play with the public by creating discord between religions, communities and castes. There will be an end to all that are begun either well or unwell. Let us hope that atleast we will begin well and continue to be well. No one has a power to take law into his hands. You punish the party he belongs to. Reject them totally in the next election. Tell them effectively by your votes that you disapprove their behaviour. After all power and money will change a person. If we deny the power, people will change. Sundar

Petition: Honestly , I am quite sick and tired of the games that are being played everyday in this country in the name of religion, culture ethics etc etc... Who are these leaders to decide whether or not I should go to a pub, or have a drink with my friends or smoke. My parents don't tell me anything. what and who gives them the rightto order me around. The fact is that these certain collective bunch of men cannot handle the fact that women have come ahead so much so that they are leaving these men behind! Our country is already facing problems of recession and terrorism, should'nt these so -called leaders be focussing on these issues? Instead, they decided to suppress women, minority religion and rampage public properties. We need to stand together against these atrocities now! Ask these so called leaders to ask all the women leader of our country to step down from there designations( since this is not in our culture for a women to stand for president!)Lost your moral policing guts now, hav'nt you????

I write to you as a citizen of this country, the contitution of which promises personal liberty as a basic right. We all, more so, leaders of people and opinion makers like you should introspect, whether that promise is being kept. More importantly, is there even an intention of keeping that promise?

Petition:Lord Rama is know as "Maryada Purushothama Rama". What these goondas practicing in his name is nothing to do with our culture. This is sheer pervertism. Who have given them the authority to teach our culture to ladies of this country? We all know our culture and limitations. We know what is right and what is wrong. Do they know culture or did they practice Hindu culture when they were terrorising these young girls? They were hitting them and trying to pull down their jeans and take off their tops...! When did these people turn into Dushyasanas? Don't they know that Draupadi alone was the reason and the motivation behind complete destruction of Kuru Vansh? These people who practice hindu culture according to them, are seen in Mangalore, drinking at bars in the evening, taking girls by force by threatening them, doing hafta vasool in their "Ram Sena" name. I am not writing it just for the sake of writing. I have seen it with my own eyes. These people are not saints. They are cruel and psycologically disturbed. I have seen my friends going through hell because of these few bad men. These people will have to be punished severely, so that the rest of the society can live in peace.

Petition:Dear Chief Minister, I feel very sorry for you as You cannot inspire people to do great things.You cannot take the confidence of those people who are well learned.It seems as though you are acting just as a manager in a petty shop. Let me tell you one important thing that you politicians hardly ever think off.The attitude of the people in our state is selfish and they are only bothered about their family,their caste and their creed.Why this has happened is because of you politicians.You reach out to people only for the vote and always forget once the polls are over. Now let me come to the point.Karnataka has a rich cultural heritage you can see it in Belur and Halebidu If you are a rational human being you will definitely understand what are they.Now the Karnataka police target not the thieves,not the murderers or the terrorists,they are so hopeless that they only target the middle class people.They are the ones who encourage people to go against the law of the land.They are the ones who flout rules and act as though they are demigods and forget that they are public servants.It is because of you politicians that the police have started looting the people. Now here is a challenge for you.Go to any police station in Bangalore and have a random check or try to give a complaint you will come to know how those loafers behave with the public.And it's because of you that the police have become goondas and that is why the public hates you the politicans and the Police and because you are weak and cannot stand up for the right let even think what is right because you cannot even do your job properly.that's why we are still a backward state. wake up you are not living in 19th or 20th century.This is 21st Century and here only brains survive and not the brawns.You should be smart and be tactical yet be lion hearted to achieve the goal of a corruption free Karnataka as indicated in your earlier resoultion.You got to have right persons with right technical knowhow and those who have passion to work for the people and not those who are tooth less against the situation and are hungry only for power and frustrate the people especially the middle class. this is a wakeup call for you.If you do not act now your actions will be questioned in the eternity.

Petition:Indeed a very shameful, despicable and cowardly act. I wonder how these men, claiming themselves to be protectors of Indian values and culture, could beat up women who were defensless. Is this our culture? Though I do not think that drinking is the best way to relax, nor going to pub the best way to socialize, I don't think its wrong either. They were not drunken and creating any nuisance. All that was being done was within the closed corridors of the pub and what harm was there in that? Let's all understand that culture is not static and it was never like this 2000 years back nor shall it be 2000 years into the future. Cultures do mingle , share and evolve and if anything is construed as seriously wrong lets debate this and take the consent of the public before deciding on things. Unfortunately for us, we have people who think that they know what's best for the nation and pay no heed to such pleas, even though they are the least qualified and unsought for this. Much of what is happening is because our political class lacks conscience. Aren't their sons and daughters going to the pubs and drinking? They all know it isn't all that bad. But who would risk negating the conceptions of the great Indian illiterate vote bank and seriously jeopardise their politcal ambitions? The irony is that much of this vote bank would themselves gleefully watch their stars drinking and dancing in the movies and cheer them too, but when it comes to the urban class they wouldn't approve of it. Its not difficult to drive accross the point, but we need leaders who can call a spade, a spade. We need leaders who can lead from the front rather than being the agreeable person to all castes and communities. I would urge the leaders of the nation to come out openly and condemn such acts and dissuade people from taking law into their own hands. This acts needs to be punished severly and should not set a precedent. There have been too many incidents in the recent past of such nature and its high time we acted. India's cultural,relegious and linguistic diversity has no place for such bigotry. For those who say that this is a petty issue which pales in comparison to rapes and murders, understand this: a rape or a murder is ever considered wrong by the law ,the people and polity alike. The pitty here is there are people (mostly politicians) who pretend that this is not a crime, or rather think that it is chastened by the noble intentions. God help the nation!

Petition:It my request to all the educated and thinking people of this country come forward and step in to voice their opinion against such a horrific incident. If we remain silent then we are giving encouragement to these ruffians to carry out more damage to the society. These so called Hindu organizations who criticize Islam and Taliban are no less. Given a chance even they would like to model themselves on Taliban. If they get the power even they would like to push the women back into the confines of kitchen. Even they would ban education for women. Even they would put a ban on women doing a job. These people are nothing different from Taliban. In the name of God and Traditions they are playing the politics of hatred. They are not concerned with culture at all. For if culture was the concern then drinking is equally bad for both man and women morally and physically, but for these sick people it is bad only for women. It is only the women they attacked, they are ok with men drinking and frequenting pub, which shows that all they want is to put women behind the doors. It is not the tradition and culture that they want to preserve or they are worried about, what they are worried about is the liberalization of women. The problem is why she is going out, why she is raising her voice, why has she started defying the orders of men, why she has become their boss and giving orders to them. Attack on women in pub is just a way to give vent to these feelings. Today it is attack on women in pub. Tomorrow they will Attack any women standing anywhere as and when they feel... she is not wearing a proper dress or she has not covered herself fully or that she is standing with a male companion. Reasons could be any but I can see this kind of scenario in India in the future. If we as a citizen of a free, educated, liberated India do not speak up, do not put pressure on the government to put these goondas behind the bars and take exemplary strict action against them, then the above mentioned future awaits us. The government whichever party it belongs to, will not take action until and unless it is pressurized by its people. This has been the case with India always that is why such incidents happen. Since we have not spoken much in the past over similar kind of incidents, these goondas have been encouraged to create havoc in the name of god. Now we must stand and we must speak against and send strong message to our political class who call them representative of the common citizen, whereas in reality they are the representatives of only themselves and these kinds of goondas. We will and we should tolerate and we will not let India become another Taliban. MR. Yedurrappa , MR. Advani, Mr. Raajnaath Singh, the BJP and The Congress, and The Communists and The so called representatives of the people, do not sit quietly on this issue, please listen to the plea...do not let these goondas go scot-free...for if u do this then even u will be among those who will be remembered for sending into the DARK AGES.... I Was born in an independent nation, grew up in a post-liberalized era, seeing a nation opening up to a world and embracing a global culture Which is liberal, evolving and accommodating. I have grown up with dreams of a future that is secure, tolerant, progressive, with a better tomorrow....but increasingly I am finding myself living in a country which is becoming intolerant, radical, divisive, conservative, fractured, insensitive, Stagnant. I do not want this kind of future for my country and believe that most of you too, who are reading this, would not like to see this kind of scenario. So let us come forward, speak out our opinion in the loudest voice possible and make it heard to the ones whose ears are becoming increasingly deaf, eyes blind, and hands incompetent, that we are not going to take these incidents casually and we will not allow some illiterate, mad, and crazy goondaas to tell us what our religion accepts or what it does not....They are not even the last to have any authority to speak on the matter of religion, god and tradition.

Petition:Unfortunately there are some people who will go to any extent to gain cheap publicity. Thus we have MNS in Mumbai bashing up Biharis, we have the followers of so called Ram Sena(sic) in Bangalore molesting girls and we had hoodlums in Kolkata who created mayhem and forced Bengali writer Taslima Nasrin to leave the country even though none of them have read her novels and she had a valid visa to stay in India. You will never hear them fighting the terrorists or going to Kashmir or NE India to fight against the country's enemies because that involves risk to life and carries no name and publicity. And the tendency to indulge in such cheap publicity gimmicks is rising because there is hardly any punishment.They like to consider themselves as modern day Robin Hood and impose their own fanatical thoughts on others.And there are some politicians who patronize such acts because it helps them to come in the limelight (prey how many of us knew about Ram Sena or MNS but for these acts).To curb this menace, we should hit them where it hurts them the most i.e. impose heavy penalty and the money should be given to their hapless victims and debarr them from contesting for any post for at least 5 years. Such things are unheard of in any developed country or even in China because of the fear of severe punishment.

Petition:Outrage! That is the word burning in my mind. I am a woman in Bangalore… 21 years of age, just about to finish my degree. I’ve grown up knowing that the world is unequal, that life is unfair to a woman, especially in India… But this? This is the end of tolerance for me, this is the end of resignation, and this is the end of hopelessness. I was not born a woman to grow up wondering why, when god made the entire world so beautiful, I was born with a curse on my brow. Men claiming to ‘protect’ our ‘culture’ attacked women. Grown men formed a gang and barged into a pub and simply attacked young, surprised, unarmed, defenceless women… or rather girls. And they are proud of themselves? Proud of outnumbering and molesting young women, chasing them down the road, grabbing their hair, tearing at their clothes and pushing them? Proud? And Justified? Enough of the smoke! Let’s let some breeze in and look at the fire. These men give themselves a name of a great deity, they claim that they violate the human rights of others for the sake of our ‘culture’ and ‘religion’… That’s the smoke. This is the fire; these men are rapists, molesters, goons, thieves, assailers… under the protection of large numbers where they hope that they can’t be discerned in the crowd, under the name of a god they so shamelessly use to cover their naked, sick hearts with. This time I cannot stand it. This time they have gone too far. I have grown up cynical; knowing that life would be hard and unfair simply because I am female. But when I look at my sister who is not yet 13, I have to ask myself… Am I going to stay quiet while those criminals walk the streets? The same streets where my sister walks? The same streets where my friends walk, the same streets where one day my own daughter must walk? How can I tell my sister who is a mere child that she is a woman and thus by definition must look forward to a life where there is no freedom, where she has to walk the streets afraid of the eyes of lecherous men who have the gall and the right to hurt her if they chose and she has no right, by right of her being female…. No! I know that I can stand the torture and the discrimination, I can stand the hatred and the cruelty, the misery and the unfairness… but I will not let my own sister or my friends or my future children suffer this! This is not a plea for help, or a request that our leaders do something about these crimes against women… this is a declaration that there is no more tolerance for such crimes against us women. The world is changing but the madness that runs our country has not changed. Enough of mindless dogmas and irrational laws… enough of the unreasoning men and women who are our leaders. Enough. I want change, change for the better, change for the future of those who have not been born yet. Tomorrow my child will not suffer because I remained silent today. I only ask that all of you have the heart merely make use of your voice and speak! No more is required. This is the beauty of our country and our constitution… because I know that the only reason the system stands is because it rests on our shoulder, we don’t have to shake it off… lets just shrug.

Petition:First of all, I'd like to say that India is a country where you can not put restrictions. Our culture is all about freedom of expression be it our music, temples or literature like Kamasutra. So I recommend a total ban on moral policing. Infact I want parents to do moral policing. I guess everybody agrees that drinking and smoking are harmful but these activities are encouraged by pubs. So how do we deal with pubs that encourage such activities. Govt. should not allow pubs in residential areas. - If pub goers behave indecently on public places then they should be dealt with firmly. We should understand that we can not expose little children to indecency and bad habits like smoking and drinking. The young generation in India may consider these activities as glamourous but these habits are being frowned upon in west for health reasons. However I totally support right of person who want to smoke and drink himself to death but he/she has no right to expose young children to these habits. Finally this incident in banglaore follows a trend- 1. Da Vinci code banned in India courtesy christian taliban. 2. Taslima Nasreen hounded out of India courtesy Indian muslim taliban and communist taliban. 3. TV studios vandalised in mumbai for harmless jokes courtesy sikh taliban. 4. Mangalore beating up of girls, courtesy hindu taliban. So to say that ONLY hindus are turning orthodox or ONLY BJP is talibanising is total lie. Every religion and party are doing their bit talibanising India.

Petition:Dear All, It's not Talibanising India, first we need to address the issue on culture, culture is what always been changing. Long ago men were wearing dhotis and towels and women were wearing sarees as time passed it changed men started wearing pants and shirts and women after sometime changed to churidhars, then they changed to jeans and T shirts and then to mini and micro mini. It all depends on the mind set of women how they want to be looked at, as a Mother or a girl with soft heart or as some thing else. Men however they may be he is not the one in most cases who brings up the childrens, Only Mother takes care of child and if that mother was once dancing with guys in the pub and going with guys, how will she be able to bring up the child in a right manner. And tomorrow if that child comes to know that her mother was once roaming with many guys and dancing and drinking in pubs.. tell me how that child will feel about his\her mother. And moreover how this mother can bring up her child with good cultural values. Think about it guys.. And THE FATHERS AND MOTHERS OF THE GIRLS AND GUYS WORKING IN IT - COMPANIES IN BANGALORE AND ALL OVER - WATCH OVER U R SONS AND DAUGHTERS SEE THAT ATLEAST NOW U CAN TEACH THEM GOOD VALUES .. BUT TIMES UP .. U SHOULD HAVE DONE THAT WHEN THEY WERE YOUNG. ONE STATISTICS SAYS THAT THE CHILD COULD BE MOULD AS HOW YOU WANT WITH MORAL AND ETHICAL VALUES ONLY WITHIN 5 YEARS OF AGE..

Petition:While I am always personally against this sort of pubs and partying, that act as contributors in promoting (though not always) illegal relationships, I strongly condemn such goons who were mainly after girls in this incident. Our societies should never allow violent criminals to take such actions giving excuses like protecting culture and safeguarding its interests. People who are really concerned about the well being of their youth would never act in this way. What rights have they got to molest other women? Would they have accepted if other men acted against their family women alleging immoral behaviour? They are not moral guardians of the society but mere ruffians acting in the most scornful and immoral way leashing out their male dominance by attacking women.

But freedom to individuals to have a lifestyle of their own choice, as long as they are acting within the realm of decency(decency, again, by reasonable, not Taliban standards), and not acting against the laws of the country, which the people of this country have given to themselves, is the essence of modernity. I am sure Ram, when he accepted Shabari's Bers was being modern. More than an act, it was a statement against the opression of women and the social inequalities. ram Stood for Change.

I have read and re-read the utter shameful incident at Mangalore where a group of people who have, yet again taken, the authority to determine what is moral and amoral for the rest of us for the rest of us. The attack on women is utterly disrespectful and the people who have organized and perpetrated it have to realize that in the name of morality they themselves have committed a heinous moral offence. Violence and attacks against woman or for that matter anybody can never justified under any cause and should be punished. I urge you to preserve the social and moral fabric of the city and state of Karnataka by ensuring that these acts of violence get the proper investigation that they deserve. Lack of action will only encourage these fringe elements Sir, the people of Karnataka have placed tremendous belief and support in favor of you and your respected party.

In this day and age, when women are travelling to outer space alongside their male counterparts, these people who say that it is wrong for women to visit pubs and drink, but is OK for men to do it are being absolutely ridiculous. Why are they oppressing women in the name of upholding Indian culture? Does the burden of keeping ‘Indian’ culture intact rest only with the women of our society? What about the men who misbehave with us women even when we walk down the street? And how does wearing western clothes or drinking in anyway degrade our culture. If anything degrades Indian culture, it is the way some men look at women who wear western clothes..guys ..the filth is all in your minds… Our scriptures say that women must be treated as mothers and sisters…nowhere does it say that only women who wear Indian clothes or don’t drink alcohol are worthy of respect. Guys, if you believe in the scriptures and our great culture so much, learn to respect women no matter what they are wearing and how they are behaving….You are no one to decide what a woman must do to be considered respectable…guys….you are the same guys who expect your wives, sisters and mothers to be traditionally dressed but have no problems behaving indecently with other women and then saying it is their fault that you are misbehaving with them because they are ‘provocatively’ dressed….I think you should stop being so pathetic and learn to take responsibility for your thoughts and actions!

How can one say that those victims of molestation have been immodest. What is the meaning of modesty according to our politicians? Is the act of goondaism called Modesty? Those perpetrators of violence all look like they had come for some very well-planned perverted action. All that they seek now is getting a bail for which our country is so famous. The result of the bail is to only encourage these perpetrators to finish the pending violence that was halted mid-way. I wish the laws were indeed very strict and fear-induced in the minds of all criminals, so that they shun future violence in any form.

Petition:The violent attack on a group of women in a Mangalore pub by activists of the self-styled Sri Ram Sene who could not countenance such innocent revelry is to be condemned in the most unambiguous terms. Ostensibly carried out to protect the ''morals'' of society and the ''honour'' of the women involved, the invocation of Hindu religion to justify the mob violence that included beating up the women and sexually molesting them is an act that ironically sullied the 'very idea' of India on the eve of the Republic Day celebrations on January 26. The irony is further compounded by the kind of security cordon that had been put in place along Rajpath in New Delhi and other state capitals to prevent any kind of terrorist attack on the Republic Day parade which symbolizes the idea of the Republic and the values enshrined in the Constitution. After every major terrorist attack in India and most recently after the Mumbai attack of November 26, 2008, it is reiterated that what is being threatened is the 'idea' of India and the values it embodies. The latter include the commitment to liberal, secular principles and respect for the spirit and letter of the law of the land. Regrettably while the RDay parade itself in Delhi and other state capitals was conducted with no untoward incident - the idea of India was attacked from within - by one fringe of its own citizens. However what is encouraging is the fact that all the major political parties and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)- led government in Bangalore have distanced themselves from this dastardly act and the perpetrators have been arrested. What remains to be monitored by civil society is the speed and determination with which this act of pre-meditated violence is prosecuted and the degree to which the punishment awarded will serve as a deterrent to those of similar persuasion. The fact that India will soon move towards general elections imbues the Mangalore attack with the potential to be exploited for sectarian political advantage. It merits recall that the national president of the Sri Ram Sene, Pramod Mutalik, has claimed responsibility for the attack and has even gone to the extent of threatening similar action in the future if such acts - that is women going to pubs - is repeated. Mutalik added: "Sri Ram Sene will not sit silently, watching the attack on Hindu culture. (The) Sene will not apologise for what has happened in Mangalore." Thus the gauntlet has been thrown to the Indian state and civil society - in Karnataka in the first instance. Will there be an approach of appeasement and obfuscation, as has happened in the past in Karnataka and elsewhere when faced with similar militant majoritarianism seeking shelter under distorted Hindu ideology? Karnataka and Orissa have been under a cloud after the attacks on Christians in 2008 and it is a matter of shame that the law has been applied diffidently and selectively in defending the values associated with a secular India. This is not an isolated incident and ever since the destruction of the Babri Majid in December 1992 and the events that followed beginning with the terrorist attacks in Mumbai in 1993, the discourse in Indian politics and its correlation with the polity has been one of soft appeasement of one cross-section of the majority sentiment that is deliberately stoked. The objective is to obtain short-term political advantage and this malaise goes back to the Indira Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi years when Sikh and Muslim sentiment was deliberately manipulated.

Today it would be women at a pub, tomorrow a restaurent, a college, school, or a bustop. What is going to prevent them from draging some girl out off an auto or a cycle because they were not wearing something that fits their[the hoodlums']sense of traditional wear. It is not traditional to wear Salwar Kameeze in these parts until a decade ago,so will that become a non traditional attire? They claim to want to ressurrect "Tradition".Then why are they not in Dhoties and angavasthrams which are the traditional male Hindu attire.Why don't they have the shika/shindu on their head and earings in their ears?That is also part of our tradition.Which part of our tradition did they follow when they slapped and pushed and kicked the poor girls?

Petition:These acts of hooliganism in the name of religion is against the basic tenets of freedom of speech & expression enshrined in the Constitution of India. If the groups had any grievance, then they cannot be permitted to take law in their own hands. And, it is high time that these groups are made to realise that their own acts of hooliganism would be a step in taking away the fundamental freedoms.

Petition:Stop this shame in the name of religion. Also why is the worry on women, doing things, why not stop men. The so called Ram sena goons & MNS(maharastra) should be punished so severely, so that it ditters others from crossing the line of law. If the need is then stop rape, prostitution, child pornography, so called massage parlor,etc. These are not part of Indian culture or Hindu Religion. Jai Hind !!

First Gujarat occurred, than carnage on churches in Karnataka and now in mangalore. If see a sudden rise of such incidences in Karnataka only after BJP came to power.

If some groups feel that a person't act is taining Hindu culture, that group should take that matter to a concerned body. If the act is really something which needs attention, it would be taken care of. But deciding themselves and then treating people like this is going to instigate many extremists and the laws of this "democratic" country are going to go for a toss. It was yesterday when I was going with my husband on our bike and a group of guys chased us and put in some remarks. Girls have become totally insecure in our country. Even if they are with their husbands, fathers, brothers, other well wishers, if a group of guys come and tease them, there's actually no escape. I would not want to stay in a country like this. And so government and other people should NOT blame people who left the country for a better life overseas. A person who wants to spend his life in peace would never want to stay in the country which does nothing to mend the extremist citizens.

Petition:The issue of outrage of so called goons in Mangalore should not be looked in isolation as criminal ofense against women. The vedeo clips as available from the media displayed the ofense against both men and women. I am not in favour of act of "Talibanism". But one has to look into the issue with attention that why this type of mediaval action is happening particularly in Asia, Latin America and part of Africa. In all these continents with sizable population, there have been a planned approach of the colonial or neo-colonial rulers to destroy all heritage and social values to make them slaves without mind, brains and values. Even after departure of the colonial rulers, it is ensured that their local puppet governments follows their agenda. Since independence, India is no exception of such bad governance. Today's Hindi or regional films, the advertisement in TV channels or newspapers, the dancing mob in Disco Thecks or bar-girls, Rave parties are some of the bright examples of value errosions in the Indian society. The children from some of snob families, having quick earned money are participating in these type of shows, where incidents of other allied anti-social activities are also happening. Parents and families with heritage and social values find it difficult to maintain the values in their children. Event so called Marxist run states are no exception, they are against "Baba Ramdev" but no comment against these evils. To stop such social desease, government has to demonstrate their will in action to ban practicing such "Western (Yankee)" practices which is misfit for this country. "Talibanism" in Afghanistan didn't happen overnight and the same can not be overthrown overnight. Incidences in Mangalore is coming in light after we celebrated 62nd independence day. It is out-break of anger against sustained denial of good governance. People, particularly parents, who are providing the resources to their children needs to make them understand that freedom doesn't mean senseless activities without bothering the difficulties and sentiments of others, who can not afford to do so. I must appreciate the comments and programme of new CM of Rajasthan regarding his agenda againt such social evils. I also request the political parties not to politicize the issue before the forthcoming Lok Sabha election rather act firmly against the social evils.

Consequently, there are only a small number of people forced to raise their voice in the wilderness against all these powerful evils. Many times, these small number are crushed or sidelined by the powerful. However, we need to create a space for self criticism forum on religion, culture, politics, markets, advertisements, cricket and cinema to achieve an equalitarian society in India. Everyday hundreds of women in India are forced to live an inhuman life. Do we raise our voice? However, something happens to the urban dwellers, everybody started to raise their voice.

Please allow us to be just Indians, respected Indians, not divided by Religion ,Caste ,Sex and Boundaries. Please do not allow anyone with POWER ,WEALTH AND SUPRESSING nature to become Hero worshipers .India does not belong to anyone individual ,religion or caste .Every Son and Daughter born to this Soil has the right to be Proudly Called AN INDIAN. No one should be allowed to curtail this right .The saddest part is the Law enforcing authorities are TAKING SIDES in dealing with those who are unlawfully taking LAW INTO THEIR OWN HANDS. I LOVE MY COUNTRY ,EVERY INDIAN BORN TO THIS SOIL DESERVE EQUAL TREATMENT AND EQUAL RIGHTS.

Petition:Dear Sir, the other day a Muslim girl from Pakistan was also beaten by one of these kind of Moral Police. These type of moral police is just one kind of Indian politics. It is the shadow of our political system because all these people have some kind of political support. Problem lies in the political system. If, one can do such kind of goondasism he has all the good chances of getting the ticket from a political party and can become a MLA/MP/ Minister/ CM or may be PM sometime. The best thing we can do that any political party providing ticket or support to these kind of people, we shall not vote for those party. Now elections are near and let us use this power. Media can also play a great role in this. They should keep on putting the pressure on the Administration to book these people and put them to task. Whatever we can not do we shall do that and show our strength that such kind of incidents do not happen and we Indian become a civilised society. Thanks,

Petition:I really condemn the incident happened at Mangalore, really this is a shocking to whole nation. But we have to rethink from where the problem arose actually. My views may differ with many, but i want to confirm and very much concern. The Incidents in India happens with the present culture we are adopting from the west. Please think the way the present Movies are spreading the venom in name of Love stories where the girl or Boy runs away and faces situation and in finally everything goes well and the hero and heroine get united or they face wrath from the parents and finally commit sucide, this is the present situation in this country. I really get upset due to this, you can see near a women’s college where most of the girls dress like that they want to expose themselves in front of others, they show their cleavages and they are ready to show many more if needed. First let us think that we are in a country with different culture, where we respect them all. Today girls are themselves inviting trouble, if a girl calls me and challenges me about my Manhood, then certainly I am ready to prove in any form, First lets us bring change in our daily culture, then automatically everything will change, i do not blame for the incident happened in mangalore, i appreciate them as well as criticise them, Please ask our girls in teenage to be themselves in proper, i too have a daughter 7 years, I will give her all freedom, but will not accept this type of pub culture. Please revive the culture, boys may bad, but the girls are here to spoil the game.

Who are they to decide who should do what? They don't have any right to control us as we are staying in India which is world's largest democratic country. If at all this Sena wanted to protest there were many other ways to do so. Not by molesting females. The video itself speaks out that they were not protesting but they were molesting. It was a chance for them to molest girls under the pretext of Hinduism.

Dear Friend, No body has the right to tell me or you what to do and what not to do, moreover nobody can beat me up in public or at home, unless it is my parents or my husband. So what has happened is wrong we need to condemn it and the wrong doers have to be punished. But there is another part to it. Does this mean INDIAN culture should be handed as a gift to be spoilt and trashed in a pub or some dance clubs by these girls. Does this mean that women who wear saris and still are respected need to lose their respect just because of these skimpy clothed girls. Does this mean that we raise our kids without letting them to know what is moral education and why we uphold it in todays society due to the main cause of it being that we are rapidly losing our morality and dignity to western culture.Do you all think that mother INDIA needs to be stripped of her sari clad respect and she be given a bikini, would you approve of it. Do you young girls who are thinking that your rights are being curtailed, i wouldnt say so. If you can appreciate beauty,then know that girls look beautiful not in their skimpy clothes but in the values that they possess. Over and above if you girls and guys think that girls going to pub will help mother India to shine and rise, please take your mom and grandma as well, i am sure u will get your answers then and there. Sorry dear you can and i can disapprove what these guys did, but not what you girls are doing in the pubs. I dont think this is what i was taught by my parents, may be your parents are westerners who have just no regret nor any respect for the LAND they live in. May be not now, in future when you become parents u will know it..... Please let INDIA be as INDIA not Asst.

Whatever was done was done within the 4 walls of the pub, not in the public, that too they were all adults above 18yrs, they are solely responsible for their acts. These cultural goons, who are unethical, immoral in their thoughts, have no right to behave in such a way. Do these culture protectors abstain from sex, alcohol, bad language, TV, and films? If they are feeling depressed about degenerating women's lives, let them help the women economically and socially so that no thought of domestic violence should arise in any man's mind. If they were really correct in their action, they would not have run away from law like criminals fearing arrest. If they have guts let them come in public and educate public about domestic violence, social stigmas, and oppression of women. Then we can support them whole heartedly.

Petition:I am the Managing Director of an IT firm in London. We are in the evaluation process of setting up an offshoring subsidiary in India. Bangalore, Karnataka was identified as a prime city in our list of preferred locations. Various considerations contributed towards this decision. Apart from the usual reasons like IT Skill Pool and IT Infrastructure were also social factors like equality of the sexes and cultural tolerance. Lately I have observed with growing concern, certain incidents that have eroded my confidence in Karnataka being a destination for our offshore software development centre. I am alarmed at the recent news and video footage of a political party publicly assaulting women and justifying their actions based on medieval concepts of morality. Equally disquieting are the spate of organised attacks against the Christian community, again by a political party. Our staff in London comprise largely of Christians and almost 50% of our workforce are women. There has been trepidation among my staff from visiting Karnataka. A few women executives have out rightly refused to travel there, fearing violence from the so called “moral police”! Being responsible for the well being of my staff, I have put our decision to invest in Karnataka on review, pending evaluation of other cities in the proximity like Cochin. Though these concerns may seem exaggerated, you may find it interesting to note - this is the image that Karnataka as a state has earned in the business world.

Unless they themselves are absolutely pure and above reproach, they must not think they have a right to take the law into their own hands by beating up any and everyone that they choose. The women were not committing a crime but were just having a good time. Mr. CM - these men attacked women - they committed a crime -proof of this in the video shown on the news which identifies the assailants. They should be arrested and jailed. If you do not have them charged, then you are saying it is ok to do what they did. If so, then, we ask, why are you CM, if you cannot protect the people of your state from hooligans and fear mongering idiots? If you have a wife and daughters, then do the right thing, Mr. CM. Behave like a human being.

Petition:Dear Mr Yediyurappa, A traditional congress supporter I voted for BJP in the 2008 elections. I must say that i regret my decision now. The political journey so far has been littered with unsavoury incidents beyond a normal person's expectation. Administrative problems are understandable, but the law and order status has deteriorated to an all time low in the present BJP regime and I wish to express my strong displeasure at this. As if the mangalore church attacks were not enough shame, the latest atrocities on innocent partying women again the same city have been the last straw to any law abiding and conscientious citizen of this hitherto peaceful state of Karnataka. I express my strong opposition to your laid back attitude at dealing with right winged, rowdy elements who openly flout the law and threaten to do so in future with alacrity. It is high time the government makes a strong case against the anti-social elements involved in the mangalore Pub attack and show the people of karnataka that this government is serious about protecting the human rights of both sex, and will not tolerate any such violations in future. The perpetrators of such attacks have political connections and that must be dealt with firmly also. They deserve the severest punishment and if the goondas are let go with minor charges I am sure that the state will witness further worsening of the law and order. We the citizens of karnataka hope that this time around the government will not disappoint us.

Petition:This is not a strange situation against which we should "Speak Out". It is just one thing which is being hyped up too much (for reasons unknown to me). The point is that our country has rotten to such an extent that we have to speak out against everything: shouldn't we speak out against corruption, shouldn't we speak out against murder, rape and thousand other crimes that happen in our beloved country, shouldn't we speak out against the poor state of infrastructure in our fast emerging world economy, etc. There are so many areas to speak out against. But what will happen of all this speaking? Specially when you insist that we should speak up to pursuade the elected government to crack down on such people. Has the elected government ever cracked down on anything for which masses have spoken out? What happened to the huge cry made after 26/11/08. Two months have gone by and our elected government has done no action. So, my suggestion is that instead of speaking out to the elected government, we should "Speak - In" to ourselves. The goondas who performed this act should "speak-in" to themselves that what they are doing today to others might happen in another form to their family tomorrow. The need of the hour is not to "speak out" against some one or some party but to "speak-in" to ourselves to commit on doing things that we want to see happening in our country. As is often said but never followed: Be the change you want to see!!

Petition:Hi, With regard to the Mangalore Pub Attack, i condemn the RSS group who were involved for misbehaving against Women and Men. They have no right to do like this. We don't need Goondagiri, we need only through Gandhigiri. Through Gandhigiri method all can be changed. We need all the RSS bottom to the top level who were involved in this attack to get the Punishment and ban on the activities. The attackers should not get any bail to come out and start the same once again. Everywhere India's name is coming top. Buy doing this no one will be interest to invest in India due to this it loss to the Indian Youths and Indian Government. I know our culture should not be vanished out. We can't stop even the western culture, because we women have their own feeling to let it out. My only thought to the Karnataka Chief Minister is "Once again if they want to rule the Karnataka, Government should intervene in this matters and Ban the organization which is threatening the public. Government should make difference in respect to development, protect all the public and religion, employment for youth, to give opportunity to even rule the state also. I feel that Karnataka should be placed in No. 1 position in all the matters except violence.

Petition:Dear Mr. CM, I am a person who is politically nuetral. I am also a son, Wife and Father. It is with extreme sadness I am writing this to you. I have read the news in Newspaper and saw the clippings of the girls being beaten up. The scenes are so violent that such a thing hapening to any human being cannot be justified. It was so very disgusting to see the girls running for cover and being beaten by Goondas in public vicinity, with the Cameras rolling. I just want you to look in the mirror and think for a minute and ask three questions below. 1. "What kind of Law and Order situation am I providing to my fellow citizens, who have elected me and send the first BJP government in South India?" 2. "What have these girls done to deserve such a punishment ? My own kids may go to the same pub some day and if they meet with the same treatment from someone else, how will I treat them ?" 3. Do I need organizations like the so called "Ram Sena" to protect the culture of my country and my citizens, when I handle the Law and Order of the State?" If you find the true answers to the questions above, I am sure that you bring the guys (very much can be identified on TV, and the leader has claimed responsibility), arrest them under the Goonda Act/ or any other Act which can provide the most deserving punishment to these guys, and set an example for others to NOT follow-suit. It is very clear that these guys are learning from Thackerey's and use those topics where they get maximum attention from the public. While Narendra Modi is being hailed for his development agenda, you have a long way to go to prove yourselves and I am so far disappointed with your performance as a CM, with the very fact that you are not able to protect Ordinary Citizens, with so many Killings on Bangalore everyday (21 so far in January in Bangalore city alone). You still have a long time to go as CM. But you need to act fast and keep these miscreants at the place they deserve. Hoping that you will take appropriate action and disappoint us anymore by doing only surface level actions from our very in-efficient Police force. Looking forward to some good news from you in the next couple of days. Thanking you. M Krishna

Petition:Dear Chief Minister, In a country plagued by economic problems and social inequalities the administration is hard put in solving multitudinous problems affecting common man.The latest episode enacted at Mangalore strikes at the root of Indian democracy which is being watched and commented upon by all intellectuals around the globe.You would have yourself noticed when you came here last year and was honoured by us at the Balaji temple,that very few Hindu Indians living here, wear the mangalsutra conspicously or even adorn their fore-head with tilak. It is not because we lack respect for religion and tradition, but in a wider world where one could be branded with any external marks of race,religion or caste is abhorred and works adversely in our inter-action in public places and even subjected to physical violence by racists.If some body in our country forcibly engages in enforcing these personal codes, we will hate to be a part of that society which has no respect for individual's choice.What was perpetrated there smacks of Nazism, which we thought died after the II world war.A similar behaviour was evident among the "Dot Busters" in the early eighties here. As the Chief Minister belonging to a responsible party, which one day will rule over the nation, we expected you to come out with condemnation and immediate police action against the goons and parade them in public besides assuaging the wounded feelings of traumatised victims. You have not lived up to that expectation.The next time any BJP leader visits U.S. He will be confronted with contempt and all pretentions of nationalism or patriotism will not wash. Perhaps Congressmen have not still stooped to this degree of degrading behaviour is the conclusion, the intellectuals will conclude.The ball is in your court !

Petition:Attack on the women in Mangalore! This headline has appeared in all the leading newspapers and media - may be in foreign media also. This has cast us- the citizens of Mangalore in particular and Karnataka in general very low in the eyes of others viewing the media or reading newspapers. This is not the first incidence concerning the attack on women in Mangalore. The memories of attack on Church and police atrocities on Nuns are still afresh. The irony of it is that the present attacks are held in the name of upholding the culture. It is left to anybody's guess as to what is exactly our culture, if one is guided by the attacks took place. The people who indulged in these heinous acts and boasting of as the custodians of culture are glorified in the media as having done moral policing. This naturally amounts to support indirectly their mis-deeds. Their acts should be termed rightly as those of atrocities and should be condemned in a deserved manner. It is obvious that they have taken law in their own hands for which there is no room for in any civilised society; this cannot and should not happen in a democratic country like our where Rule of Law shall prevail. Nobody knows what dis-repute or acts of immorality the girls were indulged in the pub, that tantamounts to tarnishing the culture. Neither the organisers i.e. members of Ram Sena are specific in so far immoral acts concerned; neither is there any eye witness to describe the crime. Then, does it mean that visiting pub by the girls does amount to immoral act in defiance of the culture? It is not the time nor the issue to discuss the subject of morality attributed to the visit of girls to the pub. The concerned authorities (not the Ram Sainiks)would take care of various aspects involved.What really matters right now is the shame wrought on the society by these hooligans - Ram Sainiks in the name of upholding the culture in the name of morality but essentially causing atrocities on the girls. One would have naturally hoped that the Government would act swiftly. There is no denying the fact the Chief Minister of Karnataka has vociferously expressed of bringing the culprits to the books. But the statement of Home Minister an Police authorities are not befitting the occasion. It is irony that the so called moral police are hiding fearing arrest and police action. Had they been sincere in upholding the cause of culture, what prevented them to roam freely and continue such self styled acts. Obviously they are guilty conscious and obsessed with fear of legal action. Similarly a section of the people at the helm of the affairs of ruling the State are found to be finding fault with media and the opposition parties. This naturally doubts their credentials in so far as bringing those hooligans to the books. Certainly it is an act of dis-repute and shame and it is high time the entire society acted in unison forgetting political, regional, religious and other parochial afflictions.

You cannot blame the government, You cannot blame the City authorities, its we, the people have to be blamed for it, because learning good behaviour and acting as a social being in the society. It is the people who make the society and not the government, the government is part of the society. So every one within the society should be guilty for producing such unhuman beings. Mothers should take pro-active role in shaping their children, imbibing them with good thoughts of action and educating them to be a responsible citizen. Make a change at individual personality level and you will see a change in the society, because you are the society.

Mangalore is regarded as heaven of bachelors. It is not good. There is something wrong in the cultural arena. The land of Mangaladevi should not become a destination for sexual adventurists. I think Sriram sena has done a good job by making an awareness in the people regarding their age old culture and values. Money is not everything. Culture is very important. India is a united nation only because of it's culture. We should cherish our values and preserve our culture at any cost.For that a little bit force can be applied if it found necessary.

Petition: The Mangalore incident can only be described as an act of terrorism (the systematic use of terror especially as a means of coercion). Mr Muthalik has justified the actions of his party workers and termed it as a minor incident and has promised to continue along these lines. The Sriramsena should therefore be classified as a terrorist organization and the necessary action should be taken against Mr Muthalik and his party members. Incidents such as these are increasing at an alarming rate and a very strong message needs to be sent out to anyone who thinks they can dictate their morals on others forcefully. This case should be fast tracked and the sentencing done as soon as possible. The role of the media should also be thoroughly investigated and if the incident was staged for their benefit they should be held accountable. For the record Mr Muthalik and his goons do not represent my culture and I'm as Indian as they are. I am morally outraged at the use of Shri Rama's name for a party of women molesters.

Only when there is outrage highlighted through the media the same parroting goes on - "we have arrested 5, 10 ...or so." and we know the fate of those arrested jailbirds . they happily go to the jail only to be treated so well that it is a privilege for them to be there for a while.

Petition:When a female journalist called Soumya Vishwanathan was killed in India'a national capital, the Chief Minister of Delhi Smt Sheila Dixit blamed the dead female journalist for her own tragedy by saying that she was too adventurous. The Media wholeheartedly supported Mrs Dixit and went gaga over her shortly afterwards, when she won the Delhi Assembly elections. When Scarlett Keeling was raped and killed in Goa and the needle of suspicion pointed to a strong nexus between the Goan Ministers, the drug mafia and the sex racketeers, the media played it very safe by conveniently choosing not to pursue the leads from the investigation. When a 14-year-old German girl was raped by Rohit Monserrate, the 21-year-old son of Goa Education Minister Atanasio Monserrate who is also a powerful political figure in Goa, and the girl's mother was repeatedly harassed and their lawyer was grievously injured in order to coerce him to withdraw from the case, the Media didn't find anything extraordinary in that. When Taslima Nasreen's press conference was rudely disrupted and chairs and all sorts of dangerous objects were thrown at her in full glare of the cameras by the "secular" muslim jihadis of Hyderabad lead by the MLAs of Majlis Ittehadul Muslimeen (MIM), the Media didnt at all find anything amiss in that. When Laxmi Oraon, an Adivasi woman was brutally thrashed and paraded naked through the streets of Guwahati, Assam, with the whole police paraphernalia and official state machinery in tow, the Media chose to downplay the episode since, the victim was a hapless adivasi woman from the lower strata of society. The Media felt that since all the above unsavoury incidents had occured in the states lead by Madam Sonia Antonia Maino's puppets, it is all perfectly legitimate and absolutely secular and progressive. Kudos to the Media who are the Real Talibans of India.

Were there not terrorist attacks in India before Mumbai? Innumerable, just because this time they have hit the upper strata of society it has become a larger issue. Similarly is there no violence against women anywhere in India, many rapist and molestors are roaming free on street, ministers son's are being protected for rape charges and but nothing gets reported.

Are we dead as a society. In the past we have always observed what happens when people get arrested and live life king size after that. Is this an indication that if you can beat others, If you can break the law you get all the power? I know soon they will get bail and they will be doing the same thing again. This is the only fear we have with BJP, these kind of so called Moral policing increases, and people start acting this way.
