Breaking #Bajrangdal members burnt copy of #Kamasutra in an Ahmedabad bookstall for “showing Hindu deities in ‘vulgar’ positions” and threatened to burn bookstalls down if Hindu sentiments are hurt in future 1/N

Vatsayana’s Kaamsutra has been a pride of India for centuries as has been the sculptures of Ajanta Ellora Khajuraho and Konark. So what do we expect? Bamiyan Buddha style demolition of all Indian heritage? 2/N

So as the Hindu sentiments are so easily bruised one might ask how the 33 crore deities even got there and how will the Hindu population be enhanced to ensure the minorities don’t become majority in India? Giant poultry firms? N/N

So what now? Burning of classical Sanskrit literature? What about this one? 4/n

Given this is how Sita is described in #ValmikiRamayana wonder what #Bajrangdal has to say about it… n+1
