I did leave a comment there for them and this is what i wrote for them
"I think that a peaceful rally is a great idea.
First off, let us all agree upon the fact that this goonda group that attacked women in mangalore did so for cheap publicity and to intimidate business people in mangalore to pay up hafta. Which is why, we are going to pledge that we will not give them any more publicity.
Therefore, from now on, let us pledge that we will never mention the name of that goonda group ever. We will never mention them by any other name other than goonda group, that way the name of their group doesn't get unnecessary publicity.We will only refer to any goonda as just goonda or rowdies.
Repeated attacks on women citizens is to be viewed as the government apathy with the law and order situation in a state.The central government needs to look at this as a law and order situation and take some action.Now that there is a going to be a peaceful march, I would suggest that a prior email is sent to the police commisioner informing that a peaceful rally will take this route to finally end at his office inorder to discuss the safety of women citizens of the state.The media needs to cover this rally .
The email campaign is a great idea. The emails need to be sent to all people responsible for the safety of citizens in the country.I would advice not just women from karnataka but also women from all over the country to take five minutes and please send an email expressing your concern about the safety situation in the state.I would also suggest that women and men(the law abiding proactive non-ignorant and non-selfish,non-psychotic men of india) please use their own words in expressing their fears about the law and order situation in the state in the emails to the central govt. and in their blogs and in local peaceful campaigns urging more safety measures for all citizens.
I would also suggest that all women deliberately wear jeans and tshirt (even if they are not in the mood to do so ) and assert their personal choice of dress.I do not think that any normal guy would go and try to strip a woman in public unless he is vey sexually perverted and frustrated and is trying to vent out his personal anger on a stranger.
I would also suggest that the dress code for everyone attending all peace rallies and meeting is only going to be jeans and tshirts.Every human being has every right to dress how they please.The government needs to understand that half of the voters in the state are women. Needless to say that many of them voted to bring the present state government into power. It is the duty of the state government to manintain law and order situation in the state. There is absolutely no excuse to allow citizens to fend for themselves.
We are paying taxes so that the police force is paid salaries so that they can protect the women and men of the state.Meanwhile, all these incidents must be a lesson to all voters for all future voting sessions. Voting is done by secret ballot. Please go and vote to only non extremist groups or political parties .Otherwise the state will become as lawless as it has become now.
I also suggest that we form a proactive chain of citizens all over the country. We need to form a blogger chain that is interconnected by atleast one follower . Information about proactive rallies need to be exchanged via blogs and emails. Looks like we need to start another independant struggle here. Ahimsa and peaceful rallies are the way to go.
Also , women, even if you are from the smallest city plese go out and vote for the most nonextremist parties .And yes, please only wear jeans. Any vehicle that stops near you , immediately note down the vehicle number and sms your friends the number. Call 100 as soon you see someone approaching you in a threatening manner. Stay firm, stand right there and tell them not to come near you.
Ask them a few questions about indian history and culture to those goons and pretty soon , their ignorance about indian culture will be out there for everyone to see.If you are a bystander, go far away from this hussle, look for a public coin booth phone and immediately call 100 and tell them that somebody is being assualted at this particular address. India is a democracy and vote is our power. Whether male or female, fight for your liberty. Use your vote.
