Sri Ram Sena action hits pubs hard
Sri Ram Sena apparently go round pubs to beat up women drinkers. Or so the popular papers say. What the truth is, and how Sri Ram Sena may modify its views to 'hit' the pub owners rather than the people in the pubs, remains to be seen.
IMO: I am not a member of Sri Ram Sena - in fact the organisation now seems to be banned in Goa, for example - but at least their action works.
Sri Ram Sena's action has hit the pub industry hard. "We are very badly hit," L.K. Sudhir, owner of two popular pubs - The Liquid Lounge and Froth on Top, said. "There is up to 90 percent drop in the numbers coming to our place. We had hoped our clients will be back during the last weekend but there was no improvement." Some pub owners feel it may take six to seven months for business to pick up.
Karat, however, said the young were still frequenting the pubs. "But women are not ready to go to pubs." Mangalore is the headquarters of Dakshina Kannada, a district which is the envy of other districts in Karnataka. That is so because it tops in literacy, sex ratio and educational standards.
IMO: There are better ways for Indians to behave than to emulate the corrupt decadent US and UK by getting drunk.
