All know what happened in Guwahati. A 17 year old girl went to pub with some friends. They had some arguments with pub owners and hence they left the pub. The voyeuristic mob outside stripped the girl and a news reporter caught the incident on camera. But thats already well known. It is actually a more enriching experience to see how the so called authorities and guardians of public morale see this incident. I had missed these bits. Thanks to Ashish Shakya's blog for bringing my attention to it.
What: See this story first. District Collector of Guwahati says: "We are planning to take action against the bar owners if they are not following the norms. The bars are supposed to be closed by 10 pm."
Then look at twitter feed of Dr. Kiran Bedi. She claims: "Pubs attract hooliganism and violence just as holy places attract peace and devotion! Its in the nature of environment!" and then "there is a big difference between vibes at both places! Pubs breed lust, holy places reduce it (ofcourse exceptions exist!)"
Why its here: Does the collector mean that if the said pub had closed at 10:00pm, all those part of the mob would have suddenly turned into saints? Or just that they would have considered the time before 10:00pm as inauspicious for any molestation? For Ms. Bedi, as Ashish Shakya rightly says, "I’m sure devdasis, altar boys and people in Ayodhya would agree."
Whats with these people? What is the real issue here and what are you talking about?
