*What is Pink Condom campaign?*

This campaign has been started as a response to some self righteous and
progressive people who started the *Pink
Chaddi<http://thepinkchaddicampaign.blogspot.com/>
* campaign. Their chaddi campaign ends on Valentine's Day of 2009, but this
is just a beginning for us.

We are more democratic and transparent that the *Pink Chaddi walas*. We
don't claim inflated figures of support. There is a poll at the right hand
corner of this page, which shows how many people support us, and how many
don't!

*Why condoms?*

Condoms are necessary to save yourself from AIDS and to lead a progressive
and secular life. The *Pink Chaddi walas* claim themselves to be pubgoing,
loose and forward - a condom will help them maintain being that.

*Who are we?*

We are the ordinary Hindus, who don't bark on television channels to defend
our faith, but we definitely get hurt when some people bark against our
faith.

We know that not everything is right with Hindu society, and things needs to
be improved upon. That's the whole essence of Hindu Dharma or Sanatana
Dharma – to constantly change and evolve. We don't need self-righteous
sickular (so-called seculars) to reform us.

*Why are we anonymous?*

Unlike *Pink Chaddi walas*, our intention is not to grab news headlines and
appear on Indian and international television (what else do you think
sending *chaddis *will achieve?). We are just trying to convey a message –
you reap what you sow.

*Why this opposition to Pink Chaddi campaign?*

Because the campaign tried to unnecessarily implicate an assertive Hindu and
RSS (they showed pictures of RSS members in a derogatory way) for Managolore
pub attack incident. RSS and Hindus didn't approve of Mangalore incident,
still they were demonized, which was result of a mentality which is full of
hatred towards Hinduism.

*Do we support Sri Ram Sene?*

Not at all for beating up women in Mangalore. We know nothing more about
them to declare an overall support or opposition. They don't really matter
to us.

*Do we support RSS?*

Yes and No. We support RSS for their social work and for fighting sickulars.
We support them because we hate Hindu haters like Christian Missionaries,
Jehadi Muslims and Indian Communists. We don't support them if they would
want to subjugate ordinary Christians and Muslims.

*How can join Pink Condom campaign?*

First, click on the poll on right hand corner and express your support (or
opposition). You can also join us on orkut and facebook and promote the
word, as media surely won't promote us as they did to *Pink Chaddi walas.*

send them colorful and creative picture of condoms) at following addresses,

*We will remove the above contact details and names after they are removed
from the Pink Chaddi blog*

*Why trouble these people?*

We are not trying to trouble them. We are just asking you to send them *Pink
Condoms*, just like they have decided to send *Pink Chaddis *to *Sri Ram
Sene*, unsolicited. We believe that we have equal rights to protest in the
same manner as chosen by them. They might be good people, we are not
contesting that at all, but we just paying them in the same coin.
