It looks like the Indian TV media has missed out another event of Talibanization which had occurred earlier this month – on January 16th in Mumbai. If the Mangalore incident was initiated by Hindutva brigade’s cultural-moral-religious guardians, the culprits of the Mumbai incident was self-styled Islamic religious police. This time the victim was a Pakistani woman and the attackers were a group of women. The crime? Sporting a tattoo that said ‘Shukr Alham Du Lillah’, meaning ‘Thank you, God’.

Mumbai Mirror reports:

Riyaz Ahmed Talukdar, a member of Jan Seva Sangh, a local NGO, had first spotted the tattoo on Saba’s back and informed his mother, Shabana Talukdar. Riyaz said, “When I saw the tattoo I was furious as holy words from the Quran were on her back.” Shabana, along with a few other women, then came to the mall in the next 15 minutes and confronted Saba in the washroom.

They slapped the girl several times before the mall management intervened.

Imagine what kind of image this incident, which forced the girl to leave the country, gives India before the world. I don’t know how our TV media has missed out this, but this doesn’t look good on them. They will only be taking bait from the Hindutva extremists by not giving prominence to the Mumbai incident and concentrating only on Mangalore incident.
