New Delhi - Hindu girls who went out with Muslim boys would have their noses chopped off, a rightwing Hindu group warned, according to a news report on Friday.
The diktat was issued in a letter sent out by the rightwing Hindu Bajrang Dal to its cadre in the northern Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, which has the largest Muslim population in the country.
At first, Dal members would attempt to dissuade Hindu girls from dating Muslims. But if the gentle persuasion didn't work, their noses would be cut off, the Dal warned.
The warning said nothing about Hindu boys going out with Muslim girls. The group said the step was necessary to prevent marriages between the two groups, according to a report in the Hindustan Times.
In the past the Bajrang Dal has protested, often violently, against Valentine's Day celebrations and college-going girls wearing jeans, both of which it said symbolised "the onslaught of immoral western culture".
Hindus have already seen India carved up a few times --- Pakistan and Bangladesh --- so they have little reason to like the Muslims who intend to take the what's left of India from them.
Of course they wouldn't need a warning!! That would be pretty redundant --- the Muslims have a penalty already for dating a Muslim girl --- the death penalty for both.
I've come up with a term for these increasingly known practices in that part of the world: the anti-dating personals. They should have a website for this.
Now we know why they don't like pigs....
