pink chaddis zindabad!!!

hahahahahahaha i can literally not stop laughing! finally a movement i can relate to! maybe some of you know, maybe you don't, but every year on valentine's day the religious fundamentalist groups (all hindus, mind you) get up to condemn the celebrations in their own peculiar ways. there have been face blackenings, reports to parents, arrests, parading the guilty parties, even violence! this year the sri ram sena in bangalore visited pubs and slapped all the women there for being loose! and they are going to catch valentine's day-celebrating couples and forcibly marry them off. why, you ask? because celebration of teenage love is against indian culture, if you please. wait, you haven't heard the best part yet! so what did the loose, pub-going, forward women do??? they formed a consortium to collect pink underwear and send it the sri ram sena chief as a valentine's day gift!!!!!!!!!! this is the best idea EVER! i've heard protests and complaints before, but i've literally never been more thrilled with retaliation to blind, cow-minded, 12th century fundamentalism.
