for putting up a ...Congrats to you and your friends<br />for putting up a brave face and <br />giving the 'moral policemen' some valuable lessons<br /><br />These incidents are definitely a blot on the <br />so-called 'highly-educated' Kerala civil society<br /><br />I am not ready to ignore this as a one-off incident.<br />It had happened to several other women in the past.<br />And it can happen to anyone of us, anytime, anywhere,<br />Unless the civil society takes the lead <br />And comes forward to alienate these anti-socials<br /><br />In your case, I think the police too erred a bit.<br />Why did they ask you to go to police station<br />and give a statement when they were fully convinced <br />that the anti-socials harassed you?<br />At best, they should have asked you to leave from the scene at the earliest.<br /><br />Why did the SI unnecessarily dragged Rahul Gandhi's name<br />Into the issue? Who's he to make such a comment? (It is another kind of moral policing, don't you feel that?)<br /><br />I also think you missed an excellent opportunity <br />To highlight the incident in the local newspaper/ channels<br />I am sure you must be knowing (or your friends) some journalists in Waynad<br />You should have informed them about the incident.<br />Hope you believe that media can play a crucial role <br />against anti-social activities. (This is not to blame you, but to remind you about the power of the media).<br /><br />Once again, congratulations to you and your friends.<br /><br />AmeerPerspicuoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15943004577714699019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2642460953220196504.post-12259879556050792982010-03-07T13:25:35.092+05:302010-03-07T13:25:35.092+05:30"This is a problem with Malayalis all over th..."This is a problem with Malayalis all over the world."<br /><br />Very correct observation. We have dirt in our mind and eyes and see dirt everywhere. And we are the most hypocritical people in the country. Our men our perverts. Our boys are porn addicts and eve harassers. Our women go around bitching and gossiping and spoiling people's reputation. We are a sick society.Radhikanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2642460953220196504.post-45463237115573426562010-03-06T20:34:23.818+05:302010-03-06T20:34:23.818+05:30This is atrocious!shocking!Are we living in democr...This is atrocious!shocking!Are we living in democratic India or in taliban-ruled Afghanistan.Unfortunately it has happened in kerala-the most literate state in the country.you people know the local knowledge and you were able to tackle the situation.what could we from other states would have done?the issue should be seriously dealth with. at least the SI was sensible!I really can't believe this.K.

But still, I ...Kudos to you and your stright drive! But still, I feel the most practical thing would have been to avoid the MPs. When one is not doing anything wrong, then (s)he need not fear. So instead of explaining your presence there to Tom, Dick and Harry (that too when they are drunk), the best option would have been to summon the police, or at least threaten them with the police. As Pradeep said, one should be lucky to go unscathed from that set of hooligans. <br />If one has to teach such people a lesson, it should be made sure that both the teams are balanced. While appreciating the initiative taken by you both, I give this piece of advice in Kannada: 'Thale Gattigide Antha Bande Kallige Hodkobardu'.

What culture are we talking about!<br /><br />As you said, you managed to get away. Not all would have been as lucky as you were. I doubt if ever those hooligans repented what they did, or mended their ways. Police intervention was only a short-term solution. What guarantee that they aren't again up to what they did? I wonder when and how we will we as a society free ourselves from this.<br /><br />A well-evolved and free society is one which lets people be themselves and which cares for the people's welfare. I doubt if we are one such.Pradeephttp://pradeepnair.innoreply@blogger.com
