MAIL

Following my previous post   I recieved a mail from a friend presenting to me an obverse of the issue which was stunningly neglected.Here it goes....

"well each person interprets this kind of a protest differently! Like
you've said that you're confused why they chose the colour pink, I am
confused with one more thing, why did they choose that particular
garment to represent  "women". It sounds dirty, or vulgar even, first of
all because it is a piece of clothing, since it is used in intimate
areas... and second of all, the colour is something which subtly hints,
anatomically, at womanhood. so the combination of the garment and the
colour has many overtones which does not really go with the protest. If
you understand all these inner dimensions of what is being presented to
Mr Mutalik, you'd probably think that this is somewhat of an "in your
face" effort to make those Hindu fundamentalists get used to the idea of
powerful, independent and social women.
How about this? well, if they really wanted to represent the protest
made by cosmopolitan women against people advocating Hindu radicalism by
an object or a piece of clothing to be precise, I feel they could've
chosen something like the Little Black Dress, or an Evening Gown, or May
be perhaps a cheap Wedding Gown?? well, those might be costly, but then
they're really speak for themselves.
Besides I was not impressed because, you cannot be sure everyone buys
new garments to send. I'm quite sure there would've been women who
would've sent what they would have been using..... In the view of the
protest and the want to insult the Hindu outfit for violating women's
rights it is the right kind of thing they deserved. But then, not to be
forgotten is the fact that having done such a thing they have well and
truly gone against the term "ladylike".
AS I said before this is my interpretation of the events that happened
after the attack. You can say that extreme situations call for extreme
measures."
