Meanwhile, far away in the city of Bangalore, there has emerged a social / political incident and a reaction to the incident, that has captured the attention of India. At least of newspaper reading, cable news watching India. A sons-of-the-soil, we-locals-v-you-outsider, Karnataka-for-Kannadigas party called Shriram Sene has tried to salvage the honor of its women...by thrashing them in public. This prevention-of-vice-and-promotion-of-virtue police has run up, thankfully, against unexpected public outrage.
A link below to a very well written piece by one of the folks who unwittingly found himself in the thick of things as the first fists were landing.
