Again that auspicious day has came when all the love birds all over thw world try to fly over cloud nine.The Valentine’s day an ocassion which now has became inevitable event for every Indian youth.

Valentine day generally portrayed as day to endear your love to your soulmate,it is the day when young hearts can only giggle and swing arm in arms and let their heart speak without anyone’s concern.But this love day which is an outcome of western school of thoughts is not only contrained to these limits.Historically this day was meant for expressing love br it for mother,father sister,brother or love towards humanity.

There is no predefined rules that this day is where boys and girls have freedom to express their love .In fact this god gifetd feeling doesn’t requires a particular assigned day to express yourself, but as we have certain specific occasion to celebrate melancholy each an every event of life so do we have for love.
In the last 2 decade this V-day has grown up immensly.Not even in metropolitan cities but also in tier 2 cities and small towns are also influenced with this new festival of love in their itinerary.

But as we know in India we have so called social activists who have the sole responsibility of morality nad ethics on their great shoulders and they consistently are trying hard to save our society from this western festival of love symbolising it with vulgarity in public.

Every year they become active only before 14th february. In actualy these moral police are the group of people who don’t have any concern with the core issues of our society ,these are seasonal uneducated,narrowminded activists whose working methodology is similar to orthodox Talibani ideology.
They go in masses and start kicking ,beating,dragging couples in parks ans restaurents where people go to spen few lighter moments of their own personal lives.
These activists saw a lover couple in each anevery boy and girl couple ,and there are cases when they have beaten brothers and sisters ,husband wife as love birds.

I dont understand that why they are fighting for who they are trying to protect from cultural invasion .Publically insulting women is the way they are trying to counter to this day.
Such incidents reflects that though we claim to be modern but how socially backward we still are.
How helpless we are to fight against this social moral police who is taking laws in their own hands ,we are living in free society where we have freedom to do whatever we wish untill it violates social norms.I don’t think that India culture is so rigid that it is not able to assimilate this western concept of expressing love within our own cultural boundaries.
These seasonal activists don;t have any rights to invade privacy of others.There are so many noble causes for which nothing is being done , why don’t these social contractors volunteeer themselves against, poverty, child labour, women trafficing ,corrruption, that will definitely help India to grow and flourish.
This social conservatism is going to lead us nowhere, the need of the hour is to open our senses and broaden our ideology so that at least we can save our coutry from such social intolerance.
