Moral Policing or Polishing

" If you are true Mumbaikar, learn Marathi and live life of a Marathi manoos. "

Checklist to measure the level of decency:

• You drink milk.
• You wear Khadi or dresses manufatcured in India.
• You dont party with the other sex.
• You dont dance on loud music.
• You wear dresses with high necklines and the ones that cover you from head to toe (best one Burqa).
• You dont go out with people of opposite sex.

So if you follow this, you are decent. If not, dont worry!
The latesht moral police or polish is available in market. And they are available in different brands: "Ram Sena, Shiv Sena, and so on." [As a Hindu, i can object as to who gave them the right to use the names of Hindu mythological characters for their polish brands.]
My first reaction to the Managlaore incident (newspapers claimed it was a physical assault on girls while i think they should be charged for molestation as their clothes were ripped) was who gave them to right to run this moral brigade? One of the representatives who was later confronted by an eletronic media said that he does not feel sorry for what he and his co-workers did. I felt offended and was cursing them. If dancing inside a walled room is indecent, then what about raping a women, making a women march naked, and peeing on the road in open air?
Till i discussed this with Shampu. She enlightened me with the root cause beneath this incidence. Actually the people who beat up were just workers. The unemployment hysteria in this nation has gone up so much that people (just to make up an earning of 50 bugs) can join dirty organisations who claim themselves to fame by stating that they are involved with dirt removal. The big parties sponsor them to fulfill their own means. Its all the same concept of Branding. A small organisation shot to fame by doing something exclusive and exciting.
Sometimes looking at the current situation where the young blood has been soaked into drugs and alochol, i do appreciate organisations such as Ram sena only if they use their concepts in the correct path. But this is not correct: Abusing youngsters who have been handed money they cant handle and so poor of them to expect that parents can help their childrens to come out of this. How is it possible? The parents in their life have never seen this much of money. They themselves dont know how to control the flow of money and that's when the children go out of hand.
Ram Sena had a good idea in mind but they went wrong with their approach to deal with the crisis. You cannot end the so-called indecent environment just by thrashing or molesting people. Really wanted to help them, then teach them. Could have counselled or explained things in other ways rather than using power.
Can just hope that in the coming days, this new brand of moral polishing ends very soon.
