Moral policing, a growing menace

Q: What's the difference between Karnataka and Maharashtra?
A: They have a spanking new set of CM and deputy-CM.

And I think it's time we had a new one. Rest, I see only similarities between KN and MH. They have regionalism against north-indians. Here, in karnataka there is regionalism against tamils and north-indians, for now. They have moral-policing where they go around chasing paki nationals back home or changing sweet shop names. Here we have moral-policing goons chasing and molesting girls who visit pubs.

When terrorists struck Mumbai on 26/11 there was a huge hue and cry that we are so angry with our government, our neighbors, etc. And we did do something about it. We held vigils and vented our anger. And our anger was seen and was acted upon.

I appreciated media then and I appreciate media now for taking up the cause for the girls in Mangalore who got molested by moral-police. But why must it always be the media who tries to bring justice by their own means. Why don't we take out vigils to show our strenght and displeasure at all such acts? I am sure all those who came out for vigil after mumbai attacks would be of the opinion that this act must be condemned and protested against. But what makes them come out for one issue and not the other? Well, I guess somebody needs to mobilize them out of their houses. It would be a nice idea to have a portal where people can register to be told when a peaceful protest is being planned. Then they can come to that location with their posters and markers and what not. Maybe, the media can also be part of the list of members who will be tuned into the happenings of that site. Wonder what people think of this idea!
