Protectors or exploiters of law? Is it truly to protect the culture of country’s women

The pub attack in Mangalore by the Shri Ram Sena activists who assaulted and molested the girls attending the party saying that they were having drinks and also taking drugs is truly unjust approach. In the name of God they are carrying out stupid acts so as to protect the culture of this country’s women as they claim it to be. It was a violation of freedom when the Shri Ram Sena men forcibly entered the pub claiming unethical activities were going on inside where nothing of such was going on.

In Hindu religion women are respected and worshiped as goddesses but in today’s world the value of women has deteriorated. They are considered as mere commodities. Even though women have made their mark in almost all the areas like men, they are still looked down upon as weak and merely as commodities. This is only for some sections of people who think they are absolutely powerful being born as men. They are unaware of the fact that world has changed and now no longer differentiation could be made in terms of gender.

People have turned into fanaticism and act as if they are unaware of the changes happening in the society. If the problem is truly that of protecting the culture, why don’t they stop western market and western ideologies to stop flowing in. The mall culture, consumption of soft drinks, clothing styles, fast foods, viewing of western movies and music etc. everything is so attached to human life that it’s tough to distinguish in terms of certain aspects. Neither can the blitz of malls be washed off nor can the people accept the orders to give up such fascinating hang out places. Else why do these people have to create such chaos? May be unconsciously they too are influenced by the western culture. 

Incidents of barbarism and violence are being carried out with various such parties in the name of their own ideologies and its directly hitting the cultural ethics and morality. Can we term partying in a pub to be an indecent way of enjoying life? It is present among us from the very past and it has become a trend. Are these activities carried out for the sake of bringing changes or there are particular motives behind such unexpected attacks is still indefinite.  

This Hindutva ideology itself is questionable. They have claimed themselves as the saviours but instead they are trying out to be the rulers. It is even more astonishing that the leaders themselves have commented upon the activity as a perfect way of stopping illegal happenings. But instead of indulging in these egotistical activities they should rather take up other serious issues and intolerable activities, than indulging themselves on unnecessary tactics. 

There are laws to protect human culture. But until and unless the laws are strictly made mandatory, such disturbing incidents will continue to tarnish the society. People will take up laws into their own hands. We have the freedom to live and lead our own lives. Now the people are more broad-minded. They are free thinkers not conservatives. People should accept modernity as far as that does not harm the sentiments and go beyond limits of exploitation but instead are free to act under the law. People should in the true sense understand the law prior to taking an action.
