Pub Culture – To be or not to be?

I am writing this article after seeing and hearing a lot about it, especially what happened in Mangalore a few days back, which was a very shameful and a terrible thing to happen to a so called civilized and developing country like ours. Now the CM’s of Karnatake and Rajasthan have given there comments stating that they want to ban the pub and the mall culture in India(This is the link which has the interview of Karnataka’s and Rajasthan’s Chief Minister - courtesy Times Now News Channel.), as they believe that it is ruining the Indian Youth. I want to ask them that who are they to decide about what the youth of India should do and what he/she should not do?

According to the Indian Law, a person who is 18yrs or above has the right to vote and decide the future of the country and at 21 a guy and at 18 a girl can get married and become parents but they feel at the age of 25 a man or a women would not have the wisdom to know when to control themselves and how much they should drink or should they be drinking or not?

The politicians believe that a 18yrs old man has more wisdom then a 25yrs old man. I want to tell these politicians that every month I pay tax from my hard earned money or that they get salaries from the taxes that all of us pay and now they will impose ban on us or tell us what should we do and will guide us, so does that mean we stop using our brains and blindly follow them and do what they dictate to us?

Is this is what is known as democracy or are the politicians making a fun of it?

Thanks for the appreciation. I feel that this message has to go to the masses and then from there we can take this up.

Right...and this is what happens when 18 yr old votes for someone who’s above 60 or don’t vote at all and let them win.

Yes and after winning these politicians want to impose there thoughts on us, completely forgetting that they will have to come back to us after 5yrs as they bloody well don’t have a choice.

Yes, we can have drug addicts, drunkards, adultery, prostitutes, call girls, high divorces, etc. all in the name of freedom and democracy. We can allow destruction of society in the name of liberalism and democracy. Just because a person is 18, it doesn’t mean that we allow social evils like drinks and drug addiction. Hail our democracy! Hail the liberalists who are leading democracy to its end.

Rohan did you even read the article and how is ur response related to those men who were brashing up those innocent women. Can’t women have fun are they not human beings... are the rights not equal in the Constitution of India???

Anant, I read your article. Its not about men and women. Its about a culture that is sowing the seeds of destruction. In a decade or two, nobody would know who is who’s father. Drug addiction would be very common and even legalised! Women’s rights are nothing to do with this incident. But, when you talk about women’s rights, let me tell you that in present day India, men are the discriminated gender. Check this out: www.498a.org Women have got all rights and without any responsibilities. So much for western concepts of feminism and women’s rights. Its women pamperment! Its not women’s empowerment! But that’s another debate altogether. We cannot have arracks, wine shops, dance bars, Pubs, call babes etc. and in the name of freedom and egalitarianism.

Well with times a lot of amendments have to be made, but yes one should have the wisdom of how to excercise the rights but on the other hand the one’s who are using it with a caution should not be at a loss or punished, everyone should not be painted with the same brush.
