Hello Ruby, Hello All--- Good ideas, but not as straightforward. This is a clash of values and will take time to even out. We are in flux. Bless your stars we have not had purges and revolutions. Look at the countries in the West and see what they have gone through. We are not special, but largely fortunate overall. The bouncers too have to go home, and Indian watering holes do have bouncers. Others can take it from here.. but allow me to make a few points.
It is about not being left too far behind and every attempt being made to reconcile personal fears, attitudes with the changes happening around as well as making every attempt to benefit politically from such changes. Of course there are the rare individuals whose "closed-minds: may have nothing to do with financial gains. It is always a complex of issues, ideas, and who is more real among any given group everywhere. Most of us who on any side of any issue, but have an opinion--are living OUTSIDE of India. Many of the same who frequent bars today may turn arch-bigots tomorrow, including the women. Some of those same attackers will have children who will turn out well, grow up to be successful and also develop a ken about alcohol--drinking responsibility at pubs in the future. Those same fathers will be proud of their children--that they drink high class liquor!. What would one do if one of those attackers becomes a friend, and then one finds out about his past. . Lastly all get a grip on your minds. There is a zen saying: If you meet the Buddha on the road kill him. Worth reflecting upon. There is lots happening in the places we live in for sure that we could get agitated about--I mean outside of India; unless we are living in self-contained communities. Most of us are not that fortunate to say the least. Best all. ++++++++++++ venantius j pinto > From: "Ruby" <rubyg...@hotmail.com> > To: "GOANET" <goanet@lists.goanet.org> > Subject: [Goanet] Sri Rama Sene men target Mysore pub - Bangalore - > India (HINDUTVA FANATICS) > > Goanetters, > In AU we have 'Bouncers' (Licensed) employed at Pubs.
