Valentinspräsent für Hindu-Taliban (Update)
Indians outraged at an attack on women for drinking in a bar have gathered together to send a provocative gift of underwear to right-wing activists.
More than 5,000 people, including men, have joined the Facebook group, which calls itself the Consortium of Pub-going, Loose and Forward Women.
The group says it will give the pink underwear to Sri Ram Sena (Army of Lord Ram) on Valentine’s Day on Saturday.
It was blamed for the bar attack in the southern city of Mangalore last month.

The Consortium of Pub-going, Loose and Forward Women, which was formed on Facebook last Thursday, has also exhorted women to “walk to the nearest pub and buy a drink” on Valentine’s Day.
A spokeswoman for the group, Nisha Susan, told the BBC it was giving chaddis (Hindi colloquial for underwear) as they alluded to a prominent Hindu right-wing group whose khaki-shorts-wearing cadres were often derisively called “chaddi wallahs” (chaddi wearers).
“We chose the colour pink because it is a frivolous colour,” she said.

Im mittelindischen Bhopal drohen Hindunationalisten jedoch gewaltsame Aktionen an:
The Hindu groups say Valentine’s Day is against Indian culture. They have even performed ’shastra puja’ at a number of places to display sticks that they say will be used against couples spotted together at public places on the day.
The Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP), Bajrang Dal, Shiv Sena and associated rightwing groups have said they will not spare youths spotted celebrating Valentine’s Day in Bhopal. The ruling Bharatiya Janata Party in Madhya Pradesh is part of the larger saffron brotherhood.
Like last year, the Hindu organisations have also announced they will marry off young couples found romancing or meeting in public places like in parks and restaurants on Feb 14.
