Unless the Baptists are going to each activist's house and paying a few cents for cheap pink undies to send to the SRS, your "theory" simply does not hold water.<BR/><BR/>Baptists!

Obviously, the Pink Chaddi Campaign is financed by some Baptist group. The Campaign is vulgar since gifting the panties is an after-act token of appreciation of good performance, in the West. That the Christian initiative dares not send Chaddies to Moslem clerics shows their true agenda.R.Sajanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12934740644614008702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10387075.post-11728309742556171892009-02-17T00:06:00.000+05:302009-02-17T00:06:00.000+05:30I wonder if symbols don't mean what we want them to mean. Is no the Victoria's secret then a symbol of freedom, not sexualization- it all depends on the interpretation. Am reminded of Persepolis, when Satrapi comes back and finds her friends wearing makeup to maintain their identities, even as she had given it up to be maintain hers. I think it is to be observed in context- which is why there are no absolutes as to what constitutes "freedom". It is about what one wants to do, without harming anyone@lankr1tahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04191162451745534259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10387075.post-25812352915883349602009-02-12T16:30:00.000+05:302009-02-12T16:30:00.000+05:30http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_mslkoGVPUYU/SZNOw8hHJII/AAAAAAAAAIw/iD3W1j-amJk/s1600-h/amul1.jpgamul loves pink c!noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10387075.post-32945225909063657322009-02-12T12:50:00.000+05:302009-02-12T12:50:00.000+05:30I am amazed that even at this juncture eminent writers and theater people are saying that we should not react to what Muthalik and his SRS gang did, because he will get undue publicity which will help him in elections... this is absurd... how can people like Girish Karnad and Anita Nair, ask the girls to eep quiet.... <BR/><BR/>If Muthalik or any other person has any problem with the social evils ... they can at the most comment and avoid such people and social gatherings and do their bit to guard their kind or preach to their kind.... <BR/><BR/>BUT WHAT RIGHT TO THEY HAVE TO BEAT UP SOMEONE IN PUBLIC????<BR/><BR/>If I don't like the way he dresses, and if I believe that Indian culture says that the moustach is the sign of a man's Indian ness then do I have the right to beat up Raj and Bal Thakrey, because they are clean shaven???noclearhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15672696197594124835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10387075.post-79193647817113437632009-02-12T02:00:00.000+05:302009-02-12T02:00:00.000+05:30Actually, the "despicable", "women-oppressing", "ultra-Hindu rightist" and "demonic" BJP Government of Karnataka seems to have acted very quickly and arrested the culprits. In fact, when Mutalik was granted bail on Wednesday morning (28th Jan), he was re-arrested on the evening of the same day.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10387075.post-44847039294003117572009-02-12T00:58:00.000+05:302009-02-12T00:58:00.000+05:30"The provocative image of underwear carries on its shoulders histories of clothing and containing of the body as a modality of power, the Chaddi definitely comes with baggage."<BR/><BR/>Good Lord!
