Shoot the ‘Tiger’

The Shiv Sena does it again! Blaming the girls’ fashion trends for rape. Saamna, the Sena mouthpiece has this retarded but priceless statement:

”There seems to be a competition among youngsters to show their undergarments in the name of ‘below-waist’ fashion…It is no longer feasible for a family to roam on Chowpatty. To see girls dangle a cigarette openly is worrisome. If a man is incited by such clothes, who can one blame?”

I cannot understand why can’t they just keep their trap shut when they are still stuck in chauvinistic dark ages. If the Sena really  stands for ‘Marathi Manoos’, I am ashamed to be a Maharashtrian.

Update: Amit Varma rightly points out that it is in fact we, the people of India who are to blame for such a pathetic attitude.

    What do they think? That the girl and other rape victims asked for it? Insulting as well as inhuman!!

    On a different note, why is Mumbai being hounded by these moral police?

    Pathetic.
    And what bugs me is that those chauvinistic maniacs hold so much power over the common people.

    J – Mumbai has lost its cosmopolitan charm after the moral police took over. I was shocked to hear that you cannot roam the public places with your wife/girlfriend without being reprimanded. WTF?

    Ash – Don’t worry! The Sena is a dying tribe. It is the last glow of flame before it dies out.

    Nitin, ABCD is a ROTFL :) Seriously, the Sena is no different from any other group that brainwash young minds in the name of the great maratha king Shivaji.

    The Sena never stood for Marathi manoos. They just stood for themselves, jacking.

    Chetan – Trust me, many of my ‘educated’ friends considered Shiv Sena as the saving grace of Maharashtrians…hopefully they know better now but there are tons of people out there who still believe in the Sena philosophy. click the Update link.
