(I have written on this Mangalore incident on my other blog. In case you dont follow it, you can find the post here: Women attacked in a pub in Mangalore)

I asked the question of the poll in this post to about 11 people in my class.
8 out of 11 opted for option number 3 while 1 person each selected option number 2,4, and 6. Of the 5 girls,1 of them chose 2 option as her voice while rest went with # 3. Out of 6 guys, 3 selected option # 3 while 1 each went for 4 and 6. The one which selected option 6 had this to say “WTF”. (WTF!?)

I also asked them to write their views on the issue if they wanted to. Here is what a few of them had to say:

1. Nikhila (female):

Westernisation to some extent is fine. The main use of clothes is to cover yourself,in the name of westernisation people dress sensually. They think that wearing small clothes (tiny infact) is modern and fashion. Obviously they give a wrong idea.People can say they can wear whatever they wish. But she is not the one who sees herself in that dress.So we have to dress in a way that we dont pose any wrong idea to others.

2. Anonymous (Male):

3rd option because everyone has his/her way and right to live. No one can change anyone by force. One can be changed himself only and not by any other. So to do this kind of deed to anyone is a hinious crime. So I opt 3rd, because it depends on person whether she/he should follow her culture or be much westernised as said one can be changed by himself.

3. Anonymous (Female)

These kind of offenses, who ever do these crimes should be hanged till death. The people who can not respect life and others, they dont have a right to live.
