Hindu activists attack unmarried couples
13 february 2013
Hindu Radicals Protest Against Valentines Day By Thrashing Couples - YouTube
Radical Hindu activists have protested against the celebration of Valentine's Day by thrashing unmarried couples in India. The Shiv Sena group had forewarned of its opposition to any form of Valentine's Day celebrations, which they say is an indecent form of Western intrusion into Indian culture. The activists became aware of a local restaurant holding Valentine celebrations and set out to make an example of several couples.
School student Akanksha:
"We students want to prevent all these adopting of foreign traditions and generate harmful effects on the spiritual nature because this is not good. And we are students to ban all this on February 14, and we want to celebrate it as a marriage solidarity day."
Students held a silent march, carrying placards encouraging youths to celebrate Valentine's Day as a family and marriage solidarity day while older activists promised further retribution against any unmarried couples publically displaying affection in Hindu areas.
