I fail to understand what is Pub Culture. The beer bars and Bar and restaurants were there in existence since long and now why we object ??? Mere closure of some pubs will not solve the problem of consumption of Alcohol or Beer by youngsters. If At all we are so much interested to preserve the culture, stop production and sale of alcohol. Can anybody do that ??? Does our government is ready for that ??? Drugs are sold freely at almost all colleges since I graduated ( Almost 22 years) has anybody taken steps to stop that ???

So what if pub culture is not Indian culture? All those who are opposed to it are exposing their own insecurity stemming from lack of education and unemployment. There is no rule that what is not Indian culture cannot be practiced. When western countries have begun to embrace Indian culture why cant we be open to them?

India is mosaic of various relegions/cultures for thousands of years. There are good things and not so good things in every culture. We should accept good things from western culture, e.g., technology, language, hardwork, etc. At the same time we should reject the not so good things from the west, e.g., pub culture, smoking, etc. The younger generation should make a clear distinction between the two and should be responsible and productive citizens of India.

Pub culture is not only the foreign culture, wearing pant and shirt, auto mobile, TV, radio, Internet, computer, telephone, radio, nuclear technology, electricity, printing press, gun, satellite, air craft industry. So if you want to Change the culture change it completely. If you don't want to change the culture completely to the Indian culture mind your own business. Before getting down to the road against foreign culture wear proper Indian dress (dhothi). Wearing pant and shirt is foreign culture. wearing foreign dress and protesting against foreign culture is funny

Its basically 'Idle mind is the devil's workshop'. These kind of people (be it of any religion, Sena/Taliban or Terrorist)do not have a conscience so they think they can do or say whatever they want. (With the backing of some vested politicians) We got Independence through Mahatma Gandhiji by non-violence. How much of that true Indian culture do you show in your actions. You talk about end to western dress code and end to pub culture (good). But are these people who do not drink and beat their women folk

Are these people who do not attack women (molest/rape) who are fully clothed (wicked mentality)...??? How much do they help the poor or for a good cause (and if anyone does they called it forceful conversion). What are they doing (not using force).

Can anyone define what do you mean by pub culture?? Ok, lets make a list and destroy whole of non indian culture:

1. Stope wearing western outfits like pants and t-shirts: lets follow dhoti, saree and other regional outfits. 2. Stop watching hollywood movies. Ban all channels showing western culture. 3. Stop playing cricket (as this is a British players game). Stop sending Sania and Bhupathi to tennis who made India proud. Let us start playing kabbadi, indian wrestling, Kho Kho, marble games, carrom. 4. Stop eating pizzas and KFC's 5. Stop bars, discotheques and smoking ciggaretes and start toddy bars, smoking beedies (this is Indian culture) 6. Destroy all religious worship places showing nude diaties (I beleive these have come from western culture and encrytpted by Indians) 7. Stop using Internet as we dont have control on stopping western websites pop up on screen when we click. 8. Stop using english language in schools and colleges. let us have arts, commerce and science taught in local language including numerals. 9. and many more.... 10. To end, let us start beating and robbing others (I beleive these have come from Senas - protector of Indian culture) Hey, Afghanistan is in making !!

If we are talking about anything like culture with regard to the ancestors of the entire population which was inside the geographical limits of India in the historical past, say 1000 years ago, what was it ? What does recorded HISTORY tell us ? If a seemingly endless avalanche of invaders, among whom the two major ones that finally encouraged Babar to have a go at India, are Ghori Mohammad and Ghazni Mohammad. Around that time, DISCORD, DISUNITY and endlessly reverberating FEUDS dominated our region.

That was our culture if at all. We like to bicker among ourselves, so others can come and loot and pillage and finally overpower and rule us, and then, divide us some more ! true is the saying: “Vinaasasha Kaalakke Vipareetha Budhdhi”. [NOTE: Ghazni Mohd. sampled the treasures of the Somnaath Temple in Gujarat, liked the taste of the booty went back and returned,.. looted,.. went back ….this he did some 17 times, because he could only loot so much each time !!! Need I say more ? ] . Earlier it was the Greeks in the time of Alexander (Al-Sikander), and later, it was others: Turks, Afghans, Huns, Moghuls, Dutch, Portuguese, French, English who tried to attack or come to India to take spoil, to conquer and rule, or to further divide and rule a complex mixture of people -the so-called Indians ? Only strong kings like some of the Mauryas, and the Moghuls, and colonialists mainly British held most or the whole mixed populace together as a Nation.

Except under strong Monarchic or Colonialist rule (or Dictator ?) we don’t behave as a unit always feuding and divided, inviting foreign invaders or internal Hara-Keri. That is Indian Culture folks !!

Manohar kamath< udupi is right. Our food and dress too are our part of our culture. In India there are so many cultures, which one will we follow now? If we follow the culture of one place then others will not accept it. Our movements will be restricted. There will be a civil war due to cultures. Regionalism will be the bone of contention. I know one greatest culture of India that is tolerance. India is unique because of this. North, South, East or West India was known for this till the selfish people for power destroyed this culture.

The parents or brothers and sisters of most of these protesters are in western countries and these people live with their income directly or indirectly. They(those who are outside India) speak western language to live and feed these people. Our govt. did not provide proper employment to them. So they went out of India in search of ROTI, KAPDA AUR MAKAN. Whatever excess they save is coming to India (foreign exchange) Our law books are in western language. Education in English. How many people from this group can read the bus no. if written in Kannada ? Advanced medical equipments are coming from western countries with western people to operate and teach our staff. Would you like to put restrictions to these people life style? Or you do not want western machinery to come to your town ? You want western tourists in your city to generate income. You want his money not the tourist. You want to repalce AK-47 with bow and arrow. I also do not like a poor person or middle income class person visit a pub and loose everything in the name of prestige issue. meantime I do not want to loose a rich person from Mangalore to stay in some other city where he gets his life style without restrictions. So many multinational co.s are planning to open their branchs in Mangalore. It means development, employment. Why you people axe your own legs. Control is better than vanish. Can our youths go to some other city to see fashion show and spend their money in that city ? Or you put restrictions on youths not to go to that city ? "Kill the snake without damaging the stick" Learn how to control. Do not destroy.

Are they not using this pretext for their convenience?! The misguided youth, all of them were wearing pants and shirts instead of Indian traditional dresses on that day when they attacked the girls. They are ashamed of wearing the panche or dhotra and jubba!!!!!!!!!!! To whom are they teaching what they are not practicing?!!!

The leader in his speech says that women are supposed to be bringing up children remaining at home. In which age is he living?!!! Does he know that the husband also has equal responsibility to look after the children??? Then why doesn't he propagate the principle of men remaining at home?! I only appeal to these boys to open their eyes and see that the world is beautiful and developing today because of the major contribution of women to the society. Let us start respecting the women for their contribution to the society which is higher and greater than what men do. Let us be gender sensitive and allow every individual person to live happily.

Why Hindu Yuva sene is against young Hindu girls? All the while suppressing Hindu women, and making them to look after children, cooking and being a housewife as she is married to the four walls of a house? Woman is a machine without feelings, emotions, always has to deliver goods for the welfare of men. No freedom for women because they are females, they cannot be equal to men because they are females. Is this what you want to say? When the women of other religion can be in this modern age as per the need of the time, why not our Hindu women? Are we again going back to 'Sati' 'Purdah' 'Child marriage' and 'female infanticide'? Of course that too was our part of culture once. I donot think that media had the time to know the religion or the political affiliation of the women beaten up, molested at the pub. Still we do not know whether these Victims belong to BJP or Congress? When you lament that these news channels belong to Congress, Do you mean to say that other News Channels are for BJP? News Channels are not biased and do not belong to any party.

Dear readers, The photos and videos are very shocking. I am really hurt and distrubed to see my city 'Mangalore' being hurt and injured time and again with all the wrong reasons. The most shocking and the sad part of this incident is that the one's who are protesting (as seen in the pictures) seem to have misunderstood or have no idea about indian culture.

They seem to have understood it in interms of its external appearance and have forgotten the main aspect that the indian culture is a 'culture of peace and tolerance'. The so called protector of indian culture and hertiage should not forget that indian culture is a culture of peace. Moreover the irony is that they themselves are seen wearing western outfits (dress) and are protesting against western culture and tradtion. Can they be considered as genuine and true? Mangalore has been a peaceful city for years and readers have an important role to ponder over and rethink over such incidents Are we really protecting out culture and heritage or by such incidents are we trying to distroy, shatter and break our culture that is rooted in Peace and love.

2. Pant and shirt is not Indian culture ours is either "Kashti" or "naked". Let the useless sena begin wearing that.

3. Attacking others, weak, unarmed, and women is also not our culture. Goonda culture is not ours. Ours is Himalaya culture - runing away from towns, villages to places of loneliness. Let these jobless senas learn & practice it.

4. Big companies & call centres is not our culture. "Gudi Kaigarike" is ours. So is "Bhavati Bhiksham Dehi" is our culture. Let the sena begin it. (Not working - they are already practicing it).

5. Insulting gods (whether others' or their own by abusing their names for terrorist activities) is not our culture. Let the illiterate senas learn this & practice.

Hello Hindu Yuva Sena & groups, I completely agree with your demands on banning Pub Culture >But i disagree on the hate culture you have adopted. You are not law makers or executive authority or advisory board .  I have seen in many cases you people are expecting publicity rather than real clean results. . Do you respect Indian Constitution and democracy in India? . Do you respect other religions and the people belonging  to lower caste & Tribe?  Is there any single example where your group have fought for communal harmony in our society? . Have you ever thought of  the parents and family members of your Jobless youths / members of your group? . Threatening, assaulting, killing, abusing, molesting, breaking the law, looting  belongings, misusing the government or administrative machinery are common  in recent days. Do you  believe in any human values?  Don't you feel ashamed on physical attacks on women in the PUB and honoring the culprits after getting bail . We all are here for short time  and we need to be a great asset and  helpfulsociety, family, religion and ultimately we must be the honest& patriotic citizens of India. I pray for you all.

Looks like a lot of SENA's are going to be born in the near future to get simple publicity and show leadership so that they can get some political mileage. The main reason for these Sena's to emerge like mushrooms in the society is that the treatment that is vetted to the arrested leaders and our corrupt system that lets them go scot-free. I was watching the pictures of Ramasene leader Mr. Mutalik, how he is being escorted by Police, how our media persons surround him and give him ample priority among a common citizen, where as he should have been condemned publicly and shown doors instead. My only question to the Group members shown in the pictures that, Does any of its members enjoy having a privilege of a Girl Friend, and has never drank a glass of beer nor enjoyed a music or enjoy attending a party. What culture are you talking about…Have you not enjoyed a sight of modernly dressed woman on the street.

Don't you go, watch and enjoy the movies which have got enough of these scenes with women being raped/and exploited. Please be honest and answer, then go and tell the whole world what Hindu Culture is. There is nothing that you can be proud of in the Hindu culture that you are boasting about. First respect the women in the society, at your home and learn to obey the rules that were made for the public. You don't have a right to beat up a fellow human being in the democratic society. Ask Mr. Yediyurappa to stop issuing licenses to these pubs/Bars in Karnataka state, close down all the Arrack shops and see how your Hindu culture will prevail in the society.

Very well said Mr. Harish, If all Hindus had to think like you world would have been a better place to live. Now, fine we don’t want Pub-culture, then ban the liquor in the state, can our CM do that? The hooligans are left out on bail, and on TV they even said they will do it again, what does that mean? If they can take law in hand why others have to listen to their conditions? In Independent India, everyone has the right to live, as he/she wants without harming anyone, so far it was pub-culture, now one fanatic fellow talks about Valentines Day, then another one will get up and say not to have holiday for Christmas and New Year, what is this? Why people are so selfish? You Hindu Sene, Ram Sene or whichever Sene you are just read your Geeta Saar, see how beautifully explained, if you can read and understand then try to live like that. No need to fight, no need to ban if you all can do something good then do it, if not STOP doing bad in the society/community. God created only Man & Woman, religion is man made so just believe in that God and live and let live. Jai Hind!

Violence is not the way to uphold hindu culture, SURA PANA was exists since good olden vedic days, Banning it will amounts to contradict the Hindu Culture of olden days, Hence the best way to solve the issue is bye renaming it as SURA PANA GUDI instead of PUB SHOP. Well understood??

Its true every citizen has right to protect their culture.. And i totaly agree with Mr.Harish's comment.Why dont you guys protest, inspite of we common man paying up tax for every silly thing our country is not clean and kept tidy. Why don't you guys spend your energy on such issues. Every indivial has the right to do or follow as they wish if its within the limit of law. Banning of pub culture is mot the solution to this problem... think civilized people.Hinduism doesn't mean creating violence in the name of religion.

Past records this country have that women in villages fought war against liquor shops and won. See the present sitauation here the men fighting to stop girls drinking in pubs. WE Indians need to follow the western culture like punctuality , hardwork,descipline and clean and green places. Electronic media like times now and NDTV failed to focuss the real issue here in this case . First the pubowners took the law into their hands by not taking valid permission to run the pub and kept the place for illegal activity . Govt police means to enforce the law of the land .They have 7 lacs villages with 12400 police stations in this country . Let us act as moral police to find out who is taking the law into their hands first and fight with them on social grounds so that no SUCH TYPE SENE will be act in future

Hindu Sena, Bajaranga Dal, Rama Sena ..etc etc all these senas fighting only for Hindus. Why there isnt a single group fighting for development of India. These groups say that British had come and gone and again there is Pub culture will bring western culture in India. But these groups are following British Rule "Divide and Rule". There are trying to divide the nation in the name of religion and rule the country. Indians pleaese be aware of these groups.

I am afraid if politics is mixed with religion. Why these people are against media, who are really doing a fantastic job. I beg the Government of Karnataka to allot jobs to the unemployed. It seems all those who are involved in such kind of activities are unemployed and they bend their tails whatever other say and have no reasonable power in themselves. I really appreciate the efforts taken by media specially Times Now for having continues followed up the incident.

Why pub culture? What about wine shops & restaurants? Dont these people get drunk & spend their evenings in these same places.Our country has adopted so many forms of western culture like clothes, language, science & technology etc. think of it & we adopted every bit of it. If these sena people want a change in the society, it is their duty to set an example by first indianising themselves to every bit. Practise before you preach dear  sena people.

These are trying to do something good for our Next generation. But why are these people only behind banning the Pub's. why don't they ask for ban of alcohol. I personally think that these people are more addicted to alcohol than anyone else. If they are not addicted then let they protest to ban alcohol even i will leave all my work behind and join for a GOOD cause.

Surprising to note two things : 1). Unfortunately, I don't find any female (young ladies) who protest this move. I could see seven elderly women. 2). Can you guess education level of this group ? Can you count how many of them seen pre-unversities or colleges ? Beggars are not choosers. These young boys could be dangerous to the society to the extent - on their faces one could read they look like Al Quaida group or Talibans or even Hamas group. What police is doing now. Why don’t they arrest them ? Even some of them could be frequent visitors to bars. I would appreciate same if these same people also close the liquor stores , bars etc.

Is beating up women Indian culture? Please dont use the name of religion like 'rama sene' and 'hindu sene'. All of us know that you are politically motivated. How many of you have not watched an 'adult' movie in a theatre? How many of you haven't enjoyed it? Is that Indian culture?

Hypocrites!! How many of you haven't cheated,urinated on walls,spat and smoked at public places? is that Indian culture. Call yourself 'India sene' or 'bharath sene'. Before that get some sense and manners for yourselves. I dont pay tax to see you damage public property every time you have a silly problem with someones dress. Don't spoil the name of MY religion by using violence. Thats not Hindu culture, neither Indian.

Dear Hanumanth Kamath , soldiers required at the border to fight pakistan.. are you ready to go or recruit.. alcohol as a whole should be banned in india.. the excise department will go bonkers if such rules prevail. lets get practical..

Akshatha.. yes we all fought the british and chased them away ..but how can we trust you on such a job as a leader as you are in an organization which has killed the father of the nation - mahatma gandhiji who was assasinated by natharam ghodse who is from RSS

Though in my opinion, the Hindu Yuva Sena, does not represent, the views of the Majority of the Moderate and secular Indian Hindus, It would be good and benificial if, any of the recognised Hindu national organisations, takes a stand on this issue. In order to put an end to this issue peacefully for the time being, If the Hindu organisations, are also of the opinion that pubs in Mangalore should go,they should go, If no comments, then these senas should be put out of action once and for all.

Dear Readers, Iam surprised reading this news and the pictures. The title conveys and the manifestation conveys the message of preserving the culture. But the photograps in the rally shows all in western T-Shirst, Pants and Jeans perhaps also wearing western style of undergarments. The question arises to me that that if they arrive in this outward pattern of dress what cultural heritage are they asking in this dress. Today in the world of globlaizzation and modern sciences of health and science the world has become one. It does not mean we leave our ortodox tradition but not carried away with fundamentalism of mob mentality. India should dedicate in the field of technology which our great rishis and munis have contribuited in the olden ages. We have great religous sacred books likes vedas, upanishads, mantras, bhagwadgita and puranas with lots of contribution of sages. The invention of science and technology, medicine, astrology, matecmatics, laws of Manu etc have been rendered our country famous till today but what is the new generation contribution. Perhaps we have to still look forward to the develpment of the allround economic development and leave this outdated mentality. If wearing pants, smoking and drinking in public and creating this scandalous public notion will not make a country prosperous. Its our traditions and culture which speaks of our great contribution of blood of Bhagat Singh, Netaji and others to freedom with responsibilty. We need prospertiy of our life, home and society which inturn will make our country prosper.

Not wearing this white kahdi and saffron tilak, destroying public property and sheddind blood will bring change and prosperity. Its unity and looking into our fundamental duties our constition and our religious traditions will bring prosperity. its absurd to me to find this kind of mentality in Mangalore hurting women n creating strike for pub mentality. If so then stop wearing all foriegn style of dress, using vehicles,moving in foriegn land for lucrative jobs and payements and using multinationazionalised forigen products. "Swaraj" is not meant for "swaraj" but for common good of the person and nation. let us learn to live in liberty of thougt, life and culture which our culute, traditions and concience. Jai Bharath mahan, Jai hind!
