MANGALORE: Close on the heels of the pub attack when Sri Rama Sene men went berserk, attacking girls while taking up the role of moral police, here
comes another shocker.
Shruthi, the daughter of CPM MLA from Manjeshwar in Kerala C H Kunhambu, was attacked allegedly by a group of Bajrang Dal activists when she was returning to her hostel in Mangalore after a brief holiday at home on Friday evening.
The brother of her classmate, Shabib, who was travelling in the same bus, was also thrashed by the suspected saffron activists, who took offence to the girl talking to a Muslim boy. Shruthi is a Class-XII student of St. Aloysius College in Mangalore.
Shruthi said she and Shabib were dragged out of the bus by four men, aged between 25 and 30 years, who forced them to an autorickshaw before taking them to a house in Padil area of Mangalore. ``They hit me and later they took turns to beat Shabib,'' Shruthi told TOI over phone from Mangalore.
Her mother Sumathi said her daughter met Shabib in the bus and some people might have informed the rampaging men that the two were talking to each other. The bus was stopped at Pumpwell Circle in Kanganadi, about 1 km from Mangalore. The attackers let off Shruthi after realising that she was an MLA's daughter, but assaulted Shabib, sources said.
Police said they hadn't made any arrests. ``We are trying to find out whether the attackers belonged to Bajrang Dal or Sri Rama Sene,'' said a police officer.
Sri Ram Sene's Karnataka state convenor Prasad Attavar denied his outfit's role in the incident. ``We are not connected with this. This incident is being pointed to us to sully our image,'' said Attavar.
Shruthi's father Kunhambu told reporters, ``A Muslim boy talking to a Hindu girl is a non-issue in Kerala. Goondas have assaulted them for no reason.''
Karnataka home minister V S Acharya told TOI that he learnt of the incident when the Range IG of Kerala contacted him at 6.05pm, while he was on his way to Mumbai. ``The culprits have not been identified,'' Acharya said.
IGP (Western Range) A M Prasad said a special squad had been formed to track the culprits. ``We will take up a complaint contacting the girl over phone,'' he said.

:sigh2: I am almost weary of explaining the intricate nature of this concept of 'culture' and woman's role/share/onus in it. From the days Manu put it down the rules have been grossly misinterpreted and abused. The most essential thing in it is to grasp the essence of man-woman differences- in all aspects- and choose the wisest path for a happy life.
The Mangalore pub incident is a barbarous act- there can be no second opinion about it. In our democracy there is no place for talibanism. A noble idea that should be advocated with dignity has been cheapened, tarnished by utterly crass sentiments.
Male chauvnism has always been there, and will continue to be there- it is a matter of basic male hormones! It should never be forgotten that mother Nature has favoured the other half also, ie, women, with another set of hormones and special intelligence/wiles to ‘handle’ men.
But we are evolving as more intelligent, more cultured, more conscious people. Lifestyles are changing, faster than ever, over the generations. My mil says her hubby doesn't know even to boil water in a stove. My hubby can make many basic items to see he doesn't starve. My son, a vegetarian, can survive, with no loss to his palate's needs or stomach's be he forced to live in Saudi Arabia, China, Germany or Egypt without his official cook(my dil!!!) accompanying him. This change has come about over the generations out of sheer necessity, not out of any domestic 'revolutionistic violence'! The thinking pattern is changing, roles are becoming flexibly exchangeable. BUT basically a woman remains a woman and a man a man. They have different needs, moods, sensualities, responsibilities.
The outrageous voices like the following are absolutely correct: (Today’s magazine section of ‘The Hindu’ carries the vociferous expressions of angry women). The arrogant, unacceptable, unforgivable statement of the founding member of the Sri Rama sene, Pravin Valke, a 40-year-old school dropout, quoted in Indian Express, Feb, 3, 2009:
‘Why should girls go to pubs? Are they going to serve their future husbands alcohol? Should they not be learning to make chappatis? Bars and pubs are for men only. We wanted to ensure that all women in Mangalore are home by 7p.m.’
The apt reply of the lady in today’s article: ‘In that quote you have a clear explanation of the mindset of these men who speak in the name of culture. Women should stay at home and make chappatis while men can go out and drink, rape or do whatever they wish. Thereby our “culture” will be preserved!’
Another lady thus summarises: ‘For the time being let us keep our eyes focused on the most important questions: what kind of a culture are we talking about when a bunch of flag bearers of religion and morality barge into a pub, hold women by their hair, slap and molest them? And how do they get away with it?’
Our own Bharathiyar spoke on similar note when he denounced maattai thozuvinil katti vaikkum pazakkam. Women are cattle or chattel! Agreed. The poet also said ‘kaRpai aaNukkum peNNukkum pothuvinil vaippOm’. GOK if he had in mind a male-bashing, male-aping ‘puthumai peN’ in his mind when he eulogized the emergence of a new brand of bright variety- emancipated, elevated and enlightened! Poor guy! And poor visions turning topsy-turvy. That is another separate tale of shame. Coming back to the matter of ‘culture’ can a word ever be more misunderstood, more misusedthan it is done for long? Again our sage-poet Thiruvalluvar has composed chapters and chapters on codes for both men and women separately and together, for a happy, healthy life- like kaLLuNNaamai, piRan manai nOkkaamai and a lot other noble traits to be espoused by both sexes.(This poor guy is sadly dubbed as another anti-feminist, male chauvinist! Alas! That is the fate of a voice of sanity and real concern!). While there are many wise people who understood the nobility, supremacy of womanhood and who spoke with sincerity for their good, there many who are ready to whip up sensation by inculcating false notions of women’s emancipation and equality! The MEDIA is all help in such acts of villainous motives!
It is important to remember that concepts like ‘culture’, ‘gender equality’, ‘morality’ and so on are like double-edged swords which need utmost care and discretion/discrimination while using them. A deeper understanding and sympathy and knowledge is vital for any good to happen to our human society.
