Indians outraged at an attack on women for drinking in a bar have gathered together to send a provocative gift of underwear to right-wing activists.

More than 5,000 people, including men, have joined the Facebook group, which calls itself the Consortium of Pub-going, Loose and Forward Women.

The group says it will give the pink underwear to Sri Ram Sena (Army of Lord Ram) on Valentine's Day on Saturday.

It was blamed for the bar attack in the southern city of Mangalore last month.

The Consortium of Pub-going, Loose and Forward Women, which was formed on Facebook last Thursday, has also exhorted women to "walk to the nearest pub and buy a drink" on Valentine's Day.

A spokeswoman for the group, Nisha Susan, told the BBC it was giving chaddis (Hindi colloquial for underwear) as they alluded to a prominent Hindu right-wing group whose khaki-shorts-wearing cadres were often derisively called "chaddi wallahs"(chaddi wearers). "We chose the colour pink because it is a frivolous colour," she said.

Eeeexcellent....

That's *exactly* how you handle such backbirths, you mock, you humiliate, you refuse to give them power over you by taking them seriously.

To give in to the fear they want you to feel is to hand them the key to victory over you.

If it weren't for pub-going, loose and forward women, I'd have never met my wife. Bless 'em, they're doing wonderful work.
