India: A nation against love?
Young girls who were caught with their boyfriends in a park in Etawah in Uttar Pradesh were mercilessly kicked and slapped by women police personnel. The shots on India TV, IBN 7 and other channels were extremely repulsive and shocking in nature.
The girls were made to sit on floor in the lockup and young police personnel, who were women, were kicking these girls on their shoulders with their boots. The police didn't stop at this. The girls' hair was pulled and they were endlessly slapped.
Was it the frustration of the police women, who didn't get love, and were taking revenge upon these girls. There was no public indecency. It was simply young ones in love, who were targeted under the notorious Operation Majnu like in Meerut sometime back when police women had beaten up couples.
Interestingly, such a shocking news didn't figure in any newspaper. Are we immune to this blatant violation of civic rights?
Ironically, we all expect the hero and his girl to get united and marry in every Bollywood movie but when it comes to real life, self-styled moral guardians--the Bajrang Dal that acts like upholder of Indian sanskriti and culture & police, all treat love as the most heinous crime.
Such police personnel should not just be suspended but should be demoted. Unless this happens the violation of human rights would not stop. Meanwhile, just to change the mood, there is a photograph of the couple enjoying the rain in Delhi.

Its a henious crime we are free then why we have to take permission from any group to express our feelings. It seems the freedom we got has become a commodity only for the rich.
THIS is really a shame on india where young ones for their innocence are been beaten up.
This shame can be covered up only if all the citigens from various parts go against the government on whose behalf these police people and religional gundas work
This reminds me of the outcry when Richard Gere kissed the young Indian lady in public. From the outcry one would think he was having sex with her in public.
As a westerner I find it interesting that marriages can be arranged yet if the love, which should form the basis of that marriage, is expressed in public in the form of a kiss, its discouraged if not suppressed.
I think we need to step back and think this one out clearly.
No one is against LOVE in India. But lets not downgrade the concept of love (like the westerners) to cheap physical thrills "ONLY".
Love does not have to be displayed in parks, it has to been seen in your deeds.
This western concept of LOVE, has only created Lustful & Lazy Men that get away with uncommitted live-in relationships, failed marriages and having kids without supporting them (single moms). The society then inches closer to disaster everyday.
So lets not make very "CHEAP"
we should be ashamed to follow western culture . love is very precious they are damaging the name of love but beating the young ones is very shame on the part of the policewomen they have to consider them and try to explain them and not to behave like animals
