Freedom and modernity

My mind has been constantly revolving around "The Mangalore Pub Incident" for sometime among all the other things but today I feel the need to jot down my thoughts on the particular incident.
May be due to a topic given in the college about the Valentine's Day celebration for discussion,the incident has once again made me ponder about it.I know,no one on this world would have supported such an incident but I don't see anything wrong in their concept.I was surprised no one including women leaders opposed such incidents.Instead,they shouted that freedom of women was curbed by some "goondas" of Shri Ram Sena.
It was really very surprising how could they support their going into pub in scanty dresses and drinking and taking drugs when it is not a myth that these places are the breeding grounds of all those things which ,I believe, the world condemns.Or it was a completely wrong belief!After the reactions of most of the people to this incident,I think I was in darkness.But still I cannot convince myself that whatever happened was not correct!

Of course,their way of behaving with those girls was not right,I admit that.But in the name of freedom,these political leaders and even media,which is supposed to remain"unbiased" made a hue and cry about the incident for days and days.I can never believe that they were really concerned about the girls and their "freedom".It was just a move to criticize the government.Even if any murder or rape had happened,then also those so-called nation-servers would have blamed the government for mis-management.

In this way,we are blindly adopting the Western culture without even giving a second thought to it.Our Indian culture is the richest in the world and we should not make it impure without applying our conscience.This culture and civilization have given us an identity in this world,yet we forget it and try to change with the time.I feel change is necessary but in a positive way-a way which won't mark the end of our culture which is a result of thousand years of evolution,a way which does not destroy our life and a way which does not snatch away the decency from us.

We have the freedom of speech guaranteed by our Constitution,but is it correct on our part to use that freedom to abuse someone?Freedom is not meant for misuse,it is that right we have got which should make us more conscientious and wise.But freedom is like fire,if in control can be of great benefit but if uncontrolled,even destroys one's bone and flesh.

So,in the name of modernity and freedom,let us not stop at drinking,let us move a little further-taking drugs,adultery,premarital sex and make sure that we are not stripped off our "modernity" and "freedom".
