Shocking
Mangalore-type incidents are becoming more frequent. One hopes the government will take strict action against the vandals before they start attacking people on occasions like New Year-eve too.

It seems, like their Muslim counterparts in Pakistan, groups like the Sri Ram Sene also believe that it is a sin to enjoy life.
