They have taken up this made-up issue and trying to reform society and retain the religious heritage by restraining indians from celebrating the day for lovers. Although I haven't understood about the fascination that you need a hyped up special day to tell someone what he/she means to you. The day's over glorification is partly because of the media and marketing in its shoddiest form. Although love has been the constant cultural occurence and let's not go that path to figure out if it is really so.
The point I came here to make is why such fatal fanaticism and fear and insecurity that it will sweep away the rich religion that we proudly possess. Sometimes I feel its more to do with making their presence felt. I also wonder if forcing such kind of ideology will be a long term result that handful are trying to achieve. Belief system is best in its form when it is self-dictated. We are already facing the brunt of another level of religious irrational zeal and it has not failed to reverberate time and again. We have more serious societal issues to concern ourselves with and darn wonder why aren't we channeling our energy towards real problems. Trust me there are quite a few.

Because these are sensitive issues and rile up people very quickly I guess, hence the focus on them
there are a lot of directionless people out there, what can you do? everyone wants there 15secs of fame and fanaticism gets it then why not?? such people should just be ignored and perhaps even be educated!
Fanaticism makes me puke. why cant ppl just allow every individual to live life the way they want as long as it doesn't harm anybody else? I say fanatics r ppl who need the most HELP!
