I strongly object to the use of the word 'Talibanization' used in reference to the recent attacks (by yet another 'Sena') on girls in a Mangalore pub.
Let's stick to the right terminology, please. It's not 'Talibanization', it's 'Hindutva-ization'.
To quote the Chief Militant of 'Shri Ram Sene' (the right-wing, Hindutva organization behind the latest dose of 'Hindu Righteousness')
"We are working for Hindutva, to save Hindutva"
Good. That's more like it.
Chief militant, Pramod Muthalik, says that cowardly violence on women was absolutely necessary to 'save Hindu sanksruti'. He added that this was the way they treated their mothers and sisters.
Strange. His goons didn't like they had any mothers or sisters.
I also object to the use of terms like 'moral policing' and phrases like 'taking the law into their own hands'.
Which morals, exactly? And what Law?
Ajmal Kasab did NOT 'take the law into his own hands'.
Afzal Guru did NOT 'take the law into his own hands'.
The Hindutva militants, who are currently enjoying a relatively free run in the BJP ruled Karnataka state are NOT, repeat NOT 'taking the law into their own hands'.
Let's condemn them for exactly what they are: Hindutva-vaadis.
