Pink Chaddis!!!! Oooops! Chee! hmmm ... it sucks...


This is what I feel and I felt when I first learnt about Pink Chaddi Campaign. What do I have to say for this? If the whole of India wants to send some stupid goons Chaddis its their choice. But what do they achieve by doing this? Do they think that they can bring the great Culutral and Heritage Saviour of India, Shri Shri. Shri. Muthalik to knees? If all you want to do is to humiliate them, being a women myself I would say If I were to recieve something as Stupid and Insulting as this, I would be disturbed only for the first few days or hours and thats it.... But in the coming days, it would just pass....

The man who knows so much about culture, is now getting your recognition by sending these many. They were names whom we should have erased and who are not worth any recognition, in any form, now he is getting a free publicity. Thank to all those "Consortium of Pub going, Loose and Forward Women"

There have been more atrocities against women than these. May I please know, where have you girls been when there were more prominent and disgusting human rights violations happened?

Why have you not sent frogs or something to that effect to parents and to the villagers here. Do you know that for every 1 minute more than a 1000 women get abused - physically & mentally either by their own people or from some unknown stupid idiot in some form?

Where were you when 2 girls where molested in a road on New Year's eve? What kind of protest did you all lead when the molesters where arrested and when a few where let free?

May I take that you have started this campaign because PUB is a place where you visit and just because you feel insecured, you have started this andolan? Why should I not say this?

Do you atleast know that there are women and children who do not get good, safe drinking water? Now you are saying that women should hit the PUB to show your protest. Funny eh :)

Am extremely sorry if your Standing up for Woman is questioned by someone who is as insipid as me. Maybe, am not as Feministic as you are.

To be honest with you, am more angry than what you girls are. Please tell me what have you achieved by sending Chaddis to them? Why have you not thought about coming to streets, organising protest across India on the same time, same day?

There's no wrong in showing or registering your anger. But how you show it is more important. We need to learn from Gandhi - his Satyagraha. Why not all of you plan to meet or organise your protest against those goons opposit their office. Why not a silent march from the Pub where it all started, to the Collectors office or to the District Head's office?

I was more worried when our honourable Minister for Women welfare says "Pub Bharo". Does asking Women to goto a Pub and raise a toast to all the Women beaten black and blue solve their pains? When a Minister says this, its really worrying. What happened to our honourable Health Minister? What is his stand on "Pub Bharo"?

Now here are a few questions to the most Cultured Men Folk of India:

Sir, being a women I totally understand your worry about the Indian Culutre getting diluted. You worry about the girls taking to alcohol.
Now, having read a little about our culutre and tradition,

1. Please show me where it has been mentioned that it is righteous for men to drink and women to be a victim of abuse hurled to them by drunkards?

2. If you are so angry at girls taking to drinks, has it ever been atleast slightly suggested that men drinking liquor is part of our Culture? Why should the men not be beaten up sir?

3. Also, Why have you not chosen to raid the manufaturers of liquor? Why not the liquor barins sir? If you are getting your donations from any of te barons, am sorry sir. In that case, liquor manufacturing is a part and parcel of our culture sir.

4. Or, are you afraid to raid them Sir? IF you are not, then please give a nation wide call, then all those innocent hapless victims of drunkard husbands would help you in the protest.

5. Sir, I completely agree that girls have to wear saree, as that is our culture. Isn't dhotis and kurtas dress code culture for men? That is what I read sir. Correct me if am wrong.


6. Sir, also after when your goons gave us a teaching in the Mangalore, I tried to recollect where in our culture it has been mentioned that the most sensible thing is to beat girls?


7. Don't you atleast now feel a little embarassed after having recieve so many chaddis from women from a select group of women sire?

I know you would not. For it has been bestowed upon you by God to protect the Cultural values of India , in India.

Do people know that women dwelling in slums in Delhi get raped when the go to the loo! (in the early hours in the freezing cold..)

if the state of women in the capital is like that, imagine the rural areas. People suffer from inadequate food, water, shelter and sanitation!!! all these do not warrant an andolan.. poor pub goers!?
