Moral Police

We've had Shiv Sena ,MNS, ABVP and Bajrang Dal as the custodians and enforcer's of "Indian Moral Code " , majorly defined by these same stellar organizations themselves , just as we've had the Indian Police Service as the custodians and Enforcer's of the Indian Penal Code.

The New STAR entrant into the already crowded arena of Morality Enforcement is Sri Ram Sena,with their Mangalore show of strength ,where forty or more grown up men attacked a bunch of women,and established their right to defend the 'morality' of Indians.Its not in our culture it seems to go Clubbing.

Before i write more , i want to ask this , in a Free Country , how can anyone set the moral code for me. As long as i am not doing anything that is illegal , according to the law of this country , or directly detrimental to the society ,no one has the right to come and interfere with my freedom , of expressing myself, or living my life.

I , fortunately or unfortunately , personally know quite a few member's of this so called moral police, and upon interactions , have realized that very few of them are clear about what exactly they are safeguarding , and even fewer have the intellectual ability to understand that they are ways and means to forward the vote banks politics.Consider this case , there is a guy champak bhoomiya in your college , he your typical young chap , impressionable , interested in women , wants attention etc.etc , but his reality , of his social and economic circumstances does'nt allow him to indulge , or even be a part of the social scene , or be 'happening' , this leads to this kind of a social frustration , and it is this feeling which is harnessed by the moral police recruitment board. Being a part of say XYZ SENA , firstly Mr. Champak feels worthy , secondly he is getting to went out his anger , thirdly , of course, the much desired attention.

This is at the micro level , at the next level , further up the chain of command , we have our local history sheeter's , who gets a certain social status , and a lil bit of police immunity to practice his bhaigiri.

In this whole system , or ecosystem as one can say , both culture and morality are lost somewhere , another question is that how come its just one day out of the year that it is against the Indian culture to give a rose to a girl , or go out with her , and where are these fucker's when someone is harassing a woman?Or other days of the year . I feel the moral police is more obsessed with Valentine's Day than an average youngster , and in fact, are to be credited with making the day such a big deal in our country .Cheers Guys , amazing strategy !

There is a lot more to write , but you are tired of reading , lol , gist is , these fucker's give us crap because we take it, if i am out with a woman , on valentine's day , or any other , and any body tries to misbehave , well then its either him or me , till the time its only one of us, and collectively , we are immensely more powerful than a bunch of overenthu , frustrated MOFO's , key word being collectively.

So now on , if u see something wrong being done , interfere , lets get outta this old philosophy of none of my business , cause someday it could be you in the frame.

I intend to, at least...
Police the Moral Police.
