Then there is the extraordinary
spectacle of the Hindu Morality Sena in Mangalore chasing girls from bars,
separating men from women, and Muslims from all.

Feb 2009 Pheromonal Seizures on February 14th.
Every year without fail, Typhoon Pheromona sweeps India; guys and gals take shelter in pubs, ice-cream parlors and storm cellars. Rescue squads and storm chasers go right into the eye of the storm with sticks, pots and pans and rescue unwilling gals suffering from pheromonal seizures and beat the scat out of voluble guys with cojones. Feb 2009.
Then there is the extraordinary
spectacle of the Hindu Morality Sena in Mangalore chasing girls from bars,
separating men from women, and Muslims from all.
The 18th century street poet, Jafar Zatalli could well have been writing about Mangalore:
“Run fast from this city, O’ Zatalli,
Otherwise they will catch you by the beard and shake your head off.”
Gingering up the proceedings is Union Minister Renuka Choudhry, keeping up a relentless prattle against the morality brigade, risking a taint of licence on her own impeccable persona. http://www.covert.co.in/saeed.htm
Tiruvalluvar talks about களவியல் (Surreptitious Love) in Tamil country about 2000 years ago.
Verse 1081. Is she a goddess or a peacock?
அணங்கு கொல் ஆய் மயில் கொல்லோ கனம் குழை
மாதர் கொல் மாலும் என் நெஞ்சு. 1081
This form that stands before me: Is she a goddess! Is she a select Peacock! is she the foremost beauty among women decked with exquisite earrings? Is it the earrings that make her more beautiful or is it that she makes the earrings more beautiful? I am perplexed, O mind. Yes, she is looking at me; those eyes pierce my heart.

The following passage caught my attention. The notion that the oppressed Hindus will find haven in other religions is squarely defeated by fatwa like this in today's India. It is like the gamboling fish deciding whether to fall on the red-hot spit or sizzling pan. Feb/2009.
'In fact, some Muslim jurists went to the extent of fabricating Prophetic narrations describing certain professions like “weaving, tailoring and hair cutting” as “despicable” and issued fatwas, declaring weavers, barbers and tailors to be not equal to those Muslims who pursue “respectable” professions.' --http://www.covert.co.in/akbar.htm
I see Nirvana in this Fatwa. Without weavers, barbers and tailors we all can sport knee-length beards that will conceal our shame, strut in the open meadows in the company of peacocks free of clothes or sweat on a hot summer day, and visit our friends, in-laws and naked swamis without a stitch of clothes.
