wather it's media or congress or general public but, one can not say that BJP should not be blamed for the right wing Hindu organizations role in the states where it is in power. Moreover, when has Hindutava derogated to such an extent that women are beaten up, why even bother to protest against pub culture or western culture. As a Hindu or even anyone else every individual has the right to choose his actions. What is damaging this country is not the celebration of Valentines Day or going to pub or wearing western cloths, what's more damaging is the ever deteriorating democracy. Why the BJP gives such organizations an upper hand to carry out violent protest against any issue of morality. We should remember such moral lessons can be best imbibed by the parents and at best left to them or an individual himself. What should be raised is the issues like Amarnath land row. But, when it comes to such issues BJP sidelines itself and lent outside support without getting much involved. Instead BJP got to punish hard any such moral brigades which try to disrupt any peaceful activities weather it's morally not to it's taste. If nothing else then learn from the movement after Rang de Basanti, a Bellwood movie, as youths from cities or from villages related it to very well. These actions (going to pub, celebrating Valentines Day, etc.) don't make them less Indian, less Hindu or less Muslim or anything. BJP has to raise the issues that concerns the nation and not the ones which a handful of think is there idea of India as a nation. If one has to ask his grandfather, he will always praise the times of his youth, but things change and we all got to adapt to those changes. As said by someone "Only thing constant in the world is 'Change' "Culture will change with time and no one would have power over it whatsoever. Weather its terrorists who can not digest the changes in the Muslim culture or priests in the Church who raises his voice against abortion rights, both forms of protest, peaceful or violent, against the change has failed, as has Jon Mecain against Barack Obama.
