Culture vulture

Enough has been said about the Mangalore pub incident. But what is even more appaulling is the reactions of so many — who claim to be experts on Indian culture and “values”. The question that needs to be asked at this point is: What are Indian “values”? Who determines these? Does this mean we dress up like characters from ancient epics? Should we go back to cattle driven modes of transport? In that case (for those familiar with Mr Tharoor’s work), we should also go back to a matriarchal, polygamous society? No?
Politicization of non-issues has driven this country to ground. It would be folly to fan these fires. One can engage in a debate with people who have a point to prove — not with criminal elements with right wing alingnment.
