[Assam] Moral Guardian

[Chan Mahanta]

It merely proves that India is a land not governed by the rule of 
law, but by goons, in EVERY sphere of life.  Shri-Ram-Sene is just 
one avatar of the goons of many different ilks, with every which 
agenda you can imagine.  Therefore I would NOT make a special case 
for the victimization of  'pub-culture', V-day ( even though it is 
quite ridiculous to copy everything western, including V-day) , 
public smooching, dating, beauty pageants, discos or what-have-you.
