BTN: Moral Policing : NRIs for policing.. Resident Indians says Not required. : Also read what Muslims say about Moral policing..

HT National Debate:: Do you think that Ram Sena Chief Pramod-Muthalik's idea or passion of a moral India is 'bad' ? Click YES if BAD else NO

Dear readers:

There are few initial responses and there are two sets of opinion - clearly 180 degree apart.

It is interesting to note that NRIs of USA and UK, who live with UK and USA culture preferred  for a 'moral India'.

Note that the question asked is about the 'idea' and passion of a moral India; So those who answered NO need not necessarily be condoning  Pramod-Muthalik's idea of enforcement.


 "What method is required to restore morality ?"

As far as Muslims are concerned, they are very much organized themselves by a Muslim Personal Board and their board backs moral Policing.

Muslim Personal Board Meeting In Bhatkal Today

AIMPLB member backs moral policing

The Hindu/S O News, Monday, 09 February 2009 - 02:07:37 IST

ADVERTISEMENT BHATKAL: Assistant general secretary of the All-India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPLB) Abdul Rahim Qureshi has defended the stand of the Hindutva outfits on what they deem to be "moral violations." Although Mr. Qureshi condemned the use of force to enforce a moral code, he identified with the interventionist strategies of vigilante groups in coastal Karnataka. "There is nothing wrong with demanding ethical behaviour from people of your community. But these demands should be made by employing skills of persuasion and not through force," he told media people on Saturday. Referring to members of Hindutva vigilante groups, he said: "We agree with them. We are also opposed to pub culture. We also dislike free inter-mixing between sexes," Mr. Quereshi said. Averring that it was all right for Muslim men to mix with Hindu men as also for Muslim women to mix with Hindu women, he said: "But, it is not proper that men and women from different religions mix freely. In fact, it is not proper for men and women from the same community also to freely mingle with each other." He also advocated marriages within the community even as he stressed that he saw no place for "romance" between men and women. "Every person - Hindu or Muslim - will have to answer their maker after death. There is no place for inter-religious marriages. How will they justify their deviation from their religion to god?" he questioned. Dismissing human rights groups that have described vigilantism as a social evil, he said: "it (vigilantism) is aimed at controlling social evils."

When you have seen Hindus religious readers meet like this and discuss inter-religion issues. I don't remember.
