my views on Manglore pub incedent

It is not our duty not to allow them to go in the river but it is our duty to teach them how to swim in the river.

Recently there was an incident at Manglore, Karnataka where women were attacked by some group of people while they were attending pub. Those who are responsible for this attack are said of one Hindu association named "Ram Sena".

I think it is very shameful incident. How can it be justifiable to attack on women by just saying that pub culture is against our culture. But why to attack only on women? Is it OK for men then? Actually problem is that fundamentalist are against of women going in pubs. I think it is totally ridiculous and utter nonsense act and can not be granted. Fundamentalist arguing by saying that pub culture is against our Indian culture. But in reality pubs, except Gujarat, are part of modern urban India from many years and the liquor has been in use from ancient Indian time.

Men and women are equal and Indian constitution has given them equal rights and so any act must be without gender bias. If men can go to pub then women do as well. Even if we think that pub culture is not good and it is against of Indian culture than this is different issue. Actually we should instill moral values in youth by good education and by becoming an example than let them decide what is good and what is bad. It is not our duty not to allow them to go in the river but it is our duty to teach them how to swim in the river. I see an Indian culture and western culture as two different miscible liquid in a vessel so that way it is impossible to stop them mixing with each other.
