What about yesterday - remember Hyderabad? It's well known that 'secular-memory' shunts out inconvenient news items like <b>elected members of AP assembly </b>slapping Taslima in full view of camera without any repercussions at all - in fact they were hailed a moral conscience of the community! So what can one expect out of street goons? In Taslima's case victim was chased out of the country by those very people who are today shedding crocodile tears in Mangalore.
So I say, easy on wailing and chest thumping for those pub goers in Mangalore, they don't stand a chance if international celebrities like Taslima didn't have anyone to stand up for her. This happens every day while our government sleeps at center and our naive public respond to sound-bytes by well co-ordinated media footage fed to gullible kinds.
Next Sat is Valentine's day and we'll see same <i>tamasha </i>over one set of fools burning greeting cards and another set thumping their chests over burnt cards.
Acharya: You are right when you state people without any knowledge of Mangalore are commenting on it. It's well known that this bunch of goons have been anti-BJP and have fielded candidates against BJP in elections. Our late-latif-tubelights are now clapping for BJP distancing from this outfit - that's the real news.
