Note also the typical christospeak of the sepiamutineers. Having stolen the intrinsically Hindu meaning of 'Tamil', now they want to psecularise the festival too: calling it 'Indian festival', 'Tamil festival'. It's a <i>Hindu</i> festival:

Hence, to all intents and purposes such a ban is actually a ban on Thaipusam itself: christoconditioned govt won't allow Hindus to celebrate it the way it ought to be celebrated.
Christolaws of government are no doubt the cause. Like they banned Hindu suicide because suicide is forbidden in christianism, they can't bear Hindus doing Hindu things during Hindu festivals either.
Can you see the christoterrorist government banning islamic and christian self-flagellation? Oh no. That's all pious gawd-approved behaviour, as is the christian mass-murder of heathens.
Here's a plan: since all acts of piercing are banned by the 'Indian' government, if any psecular Indian entity is caught doing body piercing, Hindus should call in the police on them. Haha. Let the christo-conditioned pseculars feel the heat of having their freedom infringed upon. Maybe their whining to be allowed to get body piercings done will allow proper celebration of Thaipusam again.
I bet telling on someone would never be quite so rewarding or so morally (and lawfully!) right.
