PUB CULTURE

The next time you hang out with a bunch of guys and girls at a mall or a club or some such place that is quintessentially ‘Modern’, beware. The protectors of Indian culture might just beat the living crap out of you, and for good measure, molest all the females present there. The price you pay for doing something that is not termed ‘Indian culture’ is horrifying. They call it ‘Pub Culture’, and I guess it’s one of the blackest sins conceivable.

If ‘Pub culture’ is so bad, why do the sons and daughters of the MPs who are up in arms against it themselves go to nightclubs etc.? Rahul Gandhi partied all night just a few days after 26/11. Sachin Pilot, Jyotiraditya Scindia, and all these scions are frequent visitors on the night club circuit.

But forget that. Why should it even become an issue? Why should ‘Indian culture’ be thrust on you? Why is so much attention given to such trivialiaties when larger security threats and economic crises abound?

That’s India for you. The land of a glorious past and an asinine present. And a future that vacillates in between.
