Bargirls are being forcefully evicted from Thane city of Maharashtra by Shiv Sena, a regional and communal outfit. It is systematic operation tacilty supported by police. All Marathi newspapers are appreciating, praising heroism of Shiv Sena cadre for attacking and beating two women members of Bargirls Union openly on the street. English newspapers and electronic media however have condemned the act. More than 700 bargirls and their families have so far become homeless and shelter less on the eve of monsoon. Shiv Sena has given ultimatum of 10 days to remaining 2500 bargirls to leave the area or else they will use even greater force. The government, police, civil society and human rights groups are all silent spectators.

This is nothing but 'Moralistic Terror'.
Shivsena though plays the conspicous role in these and similar violent episodes of white terror,others have nothing to say about this and simply treat this as routine. This is attributable to our flawed logic of lending support to the outdated concept of 'Social Order'which excusively defines monogamy coupled with hetero sexual family as the norm. This is particularly emphasised with an ideal of Nationhood that gives no respect to Human Rights, Rule of Law and the Constitution.
Where else the kind of tacit support from the State Administration to these bigotist hooligans do come from?
