Mangalore Outrage ...
So, we have yet another example of 'moral policing' where a mob ransacked a pub 'Amnesia' in Mangalore and assaulted women present there in full view of TV cameras. They were supposedly trying to protect the culture and tradition of our great country by humiliating and beating up the womenfolk for the unpardonable crime of being in a pub. But these people are not at all disturbed when female foeticide is carried out ,when girls are not allowed to study and at every stage of life women is made to suffer for being a women. But protesting against such issues would not get you the eyeballs or TRP ratings.I was totally shocked to read an eyewitness account in The Hindu where a person described how the media persons reached the place in advance and when the attack started he heard someone shout "Action".How low can journalism get ?

Yup indeed its sad.bt cudnt belive of wt u said abt d eyewitnes,thn i wud realy say dat mre thn incidnt its journalism dat is hurtin
Well...i would just like to highlight is the facts about this incident which really make me boil:
1) The media was on the spot 15 minutes before these people arrived, yet not one of them had the decency or felt the moral responsibility to inform the police. ( this might have prevented the incident from happening, which these guys wouldnt want...there isnt enuf sensational news in the world to keep their 24*7 channels running)
2) just reinforces the opinion the indians are spineless non individuals, they will beat the crap out of any single person that gets caught (if they have a group of ten people to support them) by themselves they don't have the guts to face even a single guy leave alone a group of miscreants...applies to both the miscreants and the spectators. and every other indian amongst us.
Before commenting Anything read this!!
Welcome to Mangalore. A small town on the coast of Karnataka, Mirror opposite to Chennai, and is situated in western Coast. Here we have a few colleges, and the people mainly are of Tolerant view. But Indescipline will not be tolerated here. Last Saturday, on 24th January 2009, people got a Information that one PUB in Mangalore by the Name AMNESIA was attacked by some Sri Rama Sena Activists. The news spreaded like fire, Thanks to Indian Media. And Now the full news has been diverted by media from the main cause of the Incident to Woman harrasment.
Let me start from the right start.
Amnesia is a Pub started and the advertisement was so great that, a Community was made by the owner in Orkut. And then the members of the community were invited just by searching for " Mangalore+females". Then all the females in Mangalore were invited. Mind you, NO MEN were invited. Why read the Blog you will come to know. And as its a Craze lots of females studying/staying/working in Mangalore, who had a female in their orkut profile recieved the mail and subscribed to the community. And if a Male wanted to join he was Not allowed. I came to know because My wife recieved a Invite. then after joining, they recieve a invite for various Parties. Now the point is Couple are charged a Entry, STAGS ARE NOT ALLOWED, AND SINGLE FEMALES HAVE FREE ENTRY. now you people can think why injustice. and the answer from the Management is that Guys come and create Havoc. Yes. But why single Girls?? Now there are Inmates of the Pub who come regularly. Most of them are Muslim Guys. They sit around there, and wait for single girls to enter. In Pubs and Discos even if the smoking is Banned, the Guys smoke in Mangalore Pubs, and Mostly they smoke Marijuana, now due to Passive smoking, these girls get addicted, and then they are given Marijuana. Now if a Girl wants Marijuana in Mangalore she doesnt know where it is available, but these pubs are there were u can get it easily. so more and more girls throng the pub. and when they have no money these guys who are inside buy them marijuana, and they make sure the girl is totally Blown out of her senses. Then she is Molested, and used. when she wakes up whe doesnt know who when and what?? Now next time again since she is addicted returns to the pub, everyone will approach her, and she has Marijuana, and the Guys group have Fun with girls.
On saturday, the party was a Private party, arranged by these guys. And sri Rama sena, got the Information of this. To prevent to girls from getting used, they barged into the Pub and started assaulting anyone and everyone whom they found inside. They started beating up the guys and girls.
Now our media comes into question. The media has got the full tape. they were given information about the attack. They were ready there with their Camera. Just to attain TRP, they didnt even inform the Police. Doesnt Media have Public responsibility?? Last time I saw a Video on TV, in New delhi, a Motorist met with a Accident, and he is Lying on the road, bleeding, and one media Camera person along with a Spokesperson, is taking a Live broadcast, and telling Public that a Man is dying and No one is Helping, and after few Minutes the Motorist Dies. they are bothered about TRP's then Public Life. they didnt even attempt to take him to Hospital, or even call a Ambulance. Same thing here. they could have told Police about the attack, But sat quiet. then when attack happened, they filmed the whole episode, drunk girls, Girls getting touched on their Privates, everything, and to increase TRP and to create a New controversy, they show to whole world only a 20 sec Clip out of the whole episode of 30-40 mins in which everything was recorded. They show Girls getting hit, and one girl falling, just see the way she has got dressed, I feel she forgot to wear her Inners, and the same scene, gets repeated. the whole Incident, from where it started goes into smoke and the attack was really due to drugs and alcohol, in the afternoon, to women Harrassment.
Public reactions: Politicians are great. One after other have started commenting. BJP firstly disowned, and then said, they will be punished, Congress for anything came up with Renuka choudary, Now next SFI, and NSUI declared strike. Does Anyone know why did this attack take place. Lots of comments on Youtube, when the NDTV Video is shown.
DOES ANYONE KNOW WHY NOT EVEN ONE GIRL HAS REGISTERED A POLICE COMPLAINT?? BECAUSE NOT BECAUSE THEY WERE AFRAID, BUT BECAUSE THEY HAD LIED TO THEIR PARENTS ABOUT SOME SPECIAL CLASS OR SOME PARTY AND BEEN THERE. AND IF PARENTS CAME TO KNOW WHAT THEY WERE DOING, THEN IT WOULD HAVE BECOME MORE WORSER FOR THEM.
NOW TELL ME SOMETHING: EVERYONE SITTING IN REMOTEST OR METRO CITIES OF INDIA ARE FEELING BAD, BECAUSE THE NEWS ITSELF IS WRONG. WHO CREATED IT?? SO CALLED INDIAN MEDIA.
NOW JUST TELL ME IF YOUR DAUGHTER OR SISTER, HAD TOLD YOU THAT SHE HAS EXTRA CLASS, AND GONE TO THE PUB, AND SHE WAS INTOXICATED WITH ALCOHOL AND DRUGS, AND JUST THINK IF SHE WAS USED FOR PHYSICAL, AND YOU SEE IT, WILL YOU SIT QUIET?? WHAT WILL BE YOUR FIRST REACTION?? YOU WILL FIRST SLAP HER!! NOW TELL ME IF RAMA SENA PEOPLE TOOK YOUR RESPONSIBILITY, AND SLAPPED THOSE GIRLS WHO WERE ON WRONG TRACK, DID THEY MOLEST, HARRASS??
AND WHAT DID MEDIA DO?? SHOWN THE WHOLE WORLD THAT RAMA SENA HAS SLAPPED AND MOLESTED THE GIRLS WHO WERE INNOCENT AND ENJOYING A PARTY!!
I am from Mangalore, there are lot other Places where party takes place. Some Parties have taken place in Gold finch(which is a other PUB), or even during New Year. No such strikes took place. why?? because in these places this type of activities dont take place. where this type of activities take place, there Rama Sena takes the responsibility (of ourselves) and strikes.
Now just tell me what is wrong and RIGHT??
Grade my observation!!
@Chakoli... its sad and true !!!
Media has lost all its scruples in the mad race for TRPs ...
@Nitin...u r right on both counts, media wants sensationalism anywhich way and we as individuals fail to raise a voice when it really counts ...
@Rajesh... i have read your full comment and would like to point what seems to be certain flaws in your argument about the righteousness of what Sriram Sena did ...
1.Beating up girls ,who as u urself stated are victimized,is no solution ,in fact it is like blaming the victim for being a victim.
2.Why did the Sena activists take law in their hands, why there was no peaceful picketing of the pub ,demonstration etc within the parameters of the law.two wrongs definitely do not make a right.
3.Media's role is shameful, no question about that ,but it seems that Sena activists and media gus were hand in glove to seek cheap publicity.
4.A much better way wud have been to use internet and other mediums of mass communication to raise awareness about the alleged illegal practices in that particular Pub.Even after this if someone wishes to go into that pub ,then we have to respect freedom of choice of that individual.
5.I am a believer in Lord Rama and i hope u are too, but beating up women folk in his name is not done.
6.If the protest is done for the right reasons as you claim then the methods employed need to be right too.
This is my own,individual and subjective opinion with which u r free to agree or disagree.

hey you asshole rajesh! who gave the right to these mother-fuckers Ram sena or whatever the fuck their name is to take law into their own hands? who were those guys that beat up these so called "moral-less" women? they'd be the ones you'll find hanging around the roadside ogling at such girls. you are one hell of a fascist. people like you should be beaten to death.
Sum prob wid gtalk.sory
@chakoli ... i see :(
Dear Annonymous,
Call me anything, But first learn to use Language. Your Language itself shows what mindest you got. Just look here, now u have posted one side, and i have posted otherside. but now tell me what u know about the whole story??? only what u seen in TV??? Now if someone kills ur Family, and the murderer comes out of court FREE without any punishment?? what will u do?? sit quiet or take revenge?? sit quiet NO!! u will not!! thats what ur language shows!! and take revenge!! may be yes!! then from your side u are right, and from all others side You are Wrong!! now tell me what do u mean by writing a Comment!!! Whenever a Comment is written you have to tell your views not abuse others views!! thats what i wanted to tell!! This is purely My view, MY grading, and what happened!! you can see one glass of water which is filled Half as " HALF FULL OR HALF EMPTY". But its purely my view.
hahahahaha. Dear Rajesh, please let me remind you in your own good language that I don't know you. I am only expressing my views here which came very spontaneously to me after reading your comment which shows that you are a supporter of ram sene and that you wholeheartedly support what they did. my comment to your comment is an expression of the views that I have for people like you and not against the "comment" that you wrote which anyway was much difficult to understand because of the poor grammar. you should be thankful that someone actually wrote back to your comment despite being in such bad taste. I still reserve the same feelings for people like you only this time I choose to not waste even my curses at you. I'll keep them for people who have a head firmly on their shoulder and respond to democratic views on every aspect including religion. I am glad that I could throw salt over your already burning soul. I am glad indeed. hahahahahahah.
