Valentine's Day vandalism and the political economy of policing in India

Time for dread to stalk hearts that beat with adoration and aching. Time for the recollections of mortification and badgering for the sake of good policing to frequent the individuals who perpetrate the "wrongdoing" of dating. Time for the approaching risk of manhandle and attack to strike once more.
Another Valentine's day has arrived and young fellows and ladies crosswise over India will chance head shavings, confront darkening, open thrashings and persuasively solemnized relational unions – all for the sake of sparing our susceptible youth from the underhanded impact of evil Western culture and its ideas of sentimental love. Politically-associated trivial crooks guaranteeing to act naturally selected defenders of India's antiquated culture will be out pursuing young fellows and ladies in card shops, parks, lodgings, eateries and shopping centers, undermining them, mishandling them, stripping private and open property on the watch of the police.
Indeed, even Kerala, frequently held as one of the more dynamic states as far as the standard of policing, isn't invulnerable to this.

Some place, blessing shops offering Valentine's day stock will be vandalized and compelled to close down. Some place, young men will be offered to jackasses for going through the day with their lady friends. Some place, youthful unmarried couples will be dragged from eateries and given an open whipping.

The government is likely to relax the eligibility criteria for Air India disinvestment by allowing airlines with negative net worth to bid. However, non-airline companies may be told to satisfy minimum net worth conditions to prove their financial strength. The evaluation committee of Air India, after discussions with the Ministry of Civil Aviation, had suggested that all bidders be mandated to fulfil a minimum net worth criterion, a source said. However, when the Core Group of Secretaries on Disinvestment (CGD) met over the last two weeks to finalise the bidding norms, some members pointed out that setting high net worth as an eligibility condition would block the prospects of many airline companies.
