A novel protest has been started by four young women, self-styled "Pub-going, loose, forward women" called the "Pink Chaddi" campaign, where they urged a peaceful Gandhain protest to all of India, by sending pink underwear ("Chaddi") to Muthalik’s office on Valentine’s day.
So, first of all, I would like to ask you so called self-styled "Pub-going, loose, forward women" women, what is Gandhian Approach??
“Whenever you are confronted with an opponent. Conquer him with love.”- Gandhi
“What do I think of Western civilization? I think it would be a very good idea.”- Gandhi
“ They cannot take away our self-respect if we do not give it to them.”- Gandhi
“Nonviolence means avoiding not only external physical violence but also internal violence of spirit. You not only refuse to shoot a man, but you refuse to hate him.”- Gandhi
These are the quotes of Gandhi. So Miss (or Mrs., whatever) Susan, do u really see your protest following Gandhian Approach? Your acts defy Gandhian philosophy, his definition of Non-violent protest.
You have not shown love to those hooligans (decent and calm protest). Your spirit has been so deeply hurt and all these acts are in retaliation to soothe your wounds, so it is the internal violence of spirit. Your pink chaddi campaign is not a testimony of western culture either.( have gays in USA protest like this way?). So how do u call your protest – A Gandhian protest? In fact you are so hurt deep down that you have to take this absurd, obnoxious way to retaliate not protest. In fact, you have demoralized the Gandhi and also brought a bad name to the elite, educated and self-reliable women across d nation whom you r allegedly representing by yourself. Let me tell u an analogy and u must have seen anywhere. Have u ever seen weak person getting beaten by some stronger one? The weak person always start abusing when he can’t hit him back.. You have done the same, metaphorically by sending pink chaddi.
For your information.....
Originally, during the French Revolution, Right-wing referred to seating arrangements in parliament; those who sat on the right supported the monarchy and aristocratic privilege.Today, the term Right is used to describe political groups who stress the importance of conspectuses like nationalism, tradition and religion and who oppose socialism and communism . They are conservative and reactionary but what Muthalik and his bunch of goons has done that is Talibanism. They are revoking your freedom ur constitution gives u. So, that’s not what Right-wing do.
All over the world, including India, gays and lesbians are coming out of the mothballed closet of obscurantist morality into the unabashed light of day in public shows of solidarity often referred to as pink parades. One doesn't necessarily have to belong to the gay persuasion to march in a pink parade. Anyone who believes that in a true democracy the right to choose one's sexual identity is as much a fundamental right as the right to choose one's political candidate in an election, or the right to choose one's spiritual belief in the form of a religion is free to participate in a parade where people can wear their pink hearts on their sleeves without guilt or the fear of social censure, and worse.
Pink has long signified romantic love
Pink is associated not only with Cupid (Roman God of love) but also with a very different type of infatuation, namely soft-core communism. Anyways, that’s enough for your brain.
So, you have defiled Gandhian philosophy and also misinterpreted the semantic meaning of Pink. Therefore, Go and study “Gandhivad”.
You are no different than Muthalik. He wanted fame, political recognition and being called as the perpetrator of Moral policing and like him you also want to be called a social activist, the leading women in d pink chaddi campaign.. you have been successful too as I heard about 25000 pink chaddis have been sent to Muthalik. So 25000 followers…great work babe. You wanted your picture on newspaper, senseless interviews in some magazines.so u have got one.. Now, I would like to ask you why don’t you protest against women trafficking, dowry system, forced prostitution… because you wear “why-i-should-care-when-i-m-not-getting-assaulted" attitude on your sleeve?
