Indians send pink underwear to 'Hindu Taliban' in revenge for bar attack

A group of liberal Indians are plotting to send pink underwear to fundamentalist Hindus on Valentine's Day in retaliation for their attack on women drinking in a bar.

Members of the Sri Ram Sena (the army of Lord Ram) raided a bar in the southern city of Bangalore last month and beat up some of the women drinking inside, accusing them of loose morality.

The gang then threatened attacks against anybody who celebrated Valentine's Day, which they called un-Indian, prompting accusations they were a "Hindu Taliban".

Nisha Susan, a spokesman for The Consortium of Pub-going, Loose and Forward Women, urged Indian women to "walk to the nearest pub and buy a drink" on Valentine's Day.

Glad to see liberal Indians standing up to fundamentalism.

1. They'll end up wearing them themselves.

Behind all religious fundamentalism seems to be some sort of sexual frustration and shame.

And boy can I think of a list of people I'd like to send pink panties to.

7. "... beat up some of the women drinking inside, accusing them of loose morality."

Religious fundamentalists have NO sense of irony.

Let alone morality.

Religionism... it's a disease. A sickness that will kill us all if left unchecked.

10. Maybe Sheriff Joe Arpaio was ahead of his time.

He uses pink underwear used to humiliate his inmates here in Maricopa county.
