These radical feminists are accused of legal terrorism by promoting misuse of dowry laws and arresting/jailing more than 1,23,000 women without investigation in last 4 years. They are also accused of "moral policing" to deny freedom of any mother to communicate with her son once her gets married and forcing married men to throw their widowed mother to street. Why the hell feminists used to beat up arrack/liquor seller in villages? Why there are double standards? 500 Burnt Bras will be sent to Union Minister of Women, Renuka Choudhury and its radical feminist friends on 14th Feburary by Save Indian Family Foundation(SIFF) for their “Family Breaking” and anti-national activities.

I have found very few people who think this way. PC campaign is just a viral, it has nothing to do with Ram Sene or with Valentine's day or with Women's right and freedom. It's just a cheeky thing that will keep the nation occupied for a week or two. Much like candles in the window for Tibet. As manu highlighted, it just shows viral potential of facebook/twitter. It gives well-deserved attention the ones who thought of something so cheeky, and yet makes, unlikely "stars" of people like Muthalik. Anyone who gets more than ten mins of time in our head is already a star. On a more serious note, Muthalik, IMHO is a minority too. Religion is not that important to most people. He is being singled out only because he targeted ordinary people doing ordinary things, as opposed to the Islamic entities who issued fatwa on people in the marquee. People don't identify themselves with Sanias and Taslimas and think they can afford the lawyers to take up the case, and get money in return. Similar objections have been found on blogs when Malaysia's top Islamic body has banned Muslims from practicing yoga. I can guarantee you that if a facebook group is created for it, it will find buyers. Hatsoff! I have found very few people who think this way.

Our intent is all we can be sure about these days. Will it make the SR change their ways? No. Will it ensure that we don't come face to face with such goons ever again. I don't think so. But it IS a way of saying that you don't agree with what they are doing. And in a way that is non-violent. I don't think India has been Talibanised. You don't wake up every morning wondering if you will live through the day without suffering damage. You are still free to say what you want. Those who don't raise their voices against Muslim vices are not the role model to follow. There are many who do. You just aren't looking in the right places. The PC campaign is a mark of intent.
