[Reader-list] Tourist heaven turns into valley of fear

[Kshmendra Kaul]

Dear Sandeep
 
I would not agree with you. 
 
The Jihadi Hindus are as much the scum of this earth as the Jihadi Muslims or Jihadi Christians or Jihadi Sikhs or Jihadi Jews or Jihadi Atheists or Jihadi Agnostics or Jihadi Capitalists or Jihadi Communists or whoever. The actions of one cannot be used as an excuse for similar actions by the other.
 
In my opinion, an individual or a grouping of individuals has the right to make a Value Judgement for themselves, but no one has the right to impose that Value Judgement on others or become Executioner especially in environments where instutionalised avenues are available to state your case, argue it and alter Common Consent Value Judgements. 
 
Kshmendra

one can say jihadi hindus r learning fast from their jihadi brethen across the
border.

The Shri Ram Sena is sticking to its guns that it will not permit
Valentine's Day celebrations and also warning that they will keep a watch on
the kind of clothes women wear.
After meeting with other activists of the Sena in Bengaluru [Images], its
founder Pramod Muthalik [Images] said it was decided that the fight to safeguard
the Indian culture would go on and there is no going back on this point. The
Sena members unanimously decided to oppose Valentine's Day. Muthalik however
added that their protests would be peaceful.
A memorandum would be submitted to the chief minister and the Governor
regarding this and they would be urged to help curb the celebration of
Valentine's Day, which the Sena maintained is against Indian culture and
should be prevented at any cost.
Muthalik also said: "I have no problem with the manner in which a girl
dresses up as long as it adheres to Indian culture. Skimpily clad women will not
be tolerated and we would warn such girls. However at no point of time will we
take the law into our hands."
Meanwhile the Bangalore police is gearing to face any eventuality on February
14. Police sources say that they are fully prepared and that the day will be
peaceful and the citizens will be safe
