'Moral policing' in Mangalore
A year ago a global protest known as the Pink Pants, or Pink Chaddi, campaign was launched following attacks on women in a bar in the southern Indian town of Mangalore. A mob of around 40 men hit, kicked and abused the women in the pub because they said the girls were going against Indian culture. A hindu group known as the army of Ram or Shri Ram Sene said they carried out the attack. The 91Èȱ¬â€™s Assignment team has just been to Mangalore, and found that the campaign has had little effect. A new kind of moral policing is taking place in which young couples - especially Muslim boys seen out with Hindu girls - are now the target. Tinku Ray reports from Mangalore.
