The rise of Indiban - Taliban equivalent in India?

This morning I was reading the Indian Express online and found the disturbing headlines in the newspaper:

Moral policing: Girl commits suicide in Mangalore
http://www.indianexpress.com/news/moral-policing-girl-commits-suicide-in-mangalore/422628/

Words cannot describe the horror that many Indian youth are going through right now. We are in the 21st century for god's sake and we have these kinds of atrocities going on in India! I am sure that many youth in India have their blood boiling at this.

For those of you who are not entirely familiar about this, recently, a religious group called the "Sri Ram Sene" went into a pub and beat up some girls and guys dancing just because they don't approve of girls dancing or drinking! Come on! What age are we living in? It is the right of every human being to have fun. Sure, I am a teetotaler myself, but that doesn't mean that I would like to curtail the rights of others. Who is this Ram sene to dictate what we should or should not do?

Regardless of what Ram sene does, the more disturbing part is that the Indian government is not doing anything about it. This inaction only bolsters these kinds of people. After the pub incident, when the government did not do anything to arrest these attackers, they started issuing warnings to anyone who would celebrate Valentine's day! When the government still did not do anything, they publicly issued a threat stating that they will beat up anyone who celebrates Valentine's day! The Government is still sleeping.

Valentine's day is not yet here, but you can already see other groups starting to harass girls and guys just for meeting! Unfortunately, now a girl has committed suicide after this. The father of the girl instead of blaming the fundamentalists, has registered a case against the person with whom the girl went to talk to. He alleges rape. Whether there really was rape or not, we may never know, but it is unfortunate that the girl had to die. I am sure there will be no investigation just like nothing has been done about Ram sene's threats so far, and I am sure that our society will continue to blame innocent young people who defy the norms of our society.

The only way to reverse this is to rebel against this and start demanding open mindedness not only from our own families, but also the government. As long as we vote based on religious ideals, we will never be able to change the system. These kinds of acts are only another way of building walls in our society and religions. Since when did a Hindu girl talking to a Muslim boy become a crime? Wake up fellow citizens! It is time to act and demand our government to open its eyes. Otherwise, we can only blame ourselves for the rise of Indiban (Indian Taliban.)
