Mangalore pub attack on young men and women is indeed outrageous and barbaric. As free citizens, it is individual’s prerogative to choose on how one leads their life and it is not anyone's business (including the state) to prescribe things. Misguided puritans have no role in our democratic and secular country. Certainly those hooligans of Sri Ram Sena must be punished stringently and made to pay for using Sri Ram’s name. But why call them Taliban?. For our media, is it so hard to relay news and evoke people's emotions without using flammable,incongruous and debatable label, which has wider connotation than it is required?.
All those naive views on the internet that pronounce these hooligans as terrorists only distort actual meaning of a terrorist and provide future fodder to Hindu-Zionists conspiracy theories, which are rampant among our adversaries. Any use of terror laws against them as suggested by Ananthamurthy will only dilute our critical fight against actual terrorists (whichever religion they may belong). Why can’t we handle this issue by remaining immune to our prejudices & hatred, is it too hard to try?.
Those pseudo secularists and politicians, who pounce on anything which is related to Hindus, should ask themselves, why they weren’t so outraged, when muslim legislators and urdu press in Hyderabad, demanded head of an hapless lady? and don’t they care about sexual exploitation of women in the north east by the christian terrorists of NLFT?, Doesn’t these women and all other women in the country matter to them?. Their selective amnesia just exposes their intellectual dishonesty.
It would serve our cause better, if we just focus on the issue, rather than exhibit our prejudice & hatred in open, which only muddle things!.

If they want to stop that culture, must move through government if these are illegal. None have rights to attack on individuals for ones hatreds. Such animal acts should be condemn and protests.
Yes jeevan, any intended protest should be constitutional but i don't think people or state have any right to tell its citizens about how they should live, as far as their lifestyle doesn't break our laws. in our movies these pubs are portrayed as sleazy places and this adds to peoples perception.
Very true.. no body has right to violate others freedom and should not take law in their hands. There is definitely a point to be noted here. The girls there also must have misbehaved or something bad must have happened there. These guys instead of doing such a barbaric act, should have analyzed and done a root cause analysis of the same and put in some effort in killing the same. For example, the current media in India is provoking western culture and we are in the track of losing Indian culture and traditions. Most of the people who are religious are highly frustrated with this. So, if we try to stop media in stopping such videos, news, movies, etc, but instead showcase Indian cultural values and tradition, these kind of things will never happen.
