Proving that America doesn't have a monopoly on abject stupidity. O.K. The Hindustan Times newspaper reported that two girls with their faces bruised from beatings were paraded on a crowded mall Road in Kanpur city. At least 250 couples were attacked in restaurants, hotels or while buying flowers and greeting cards Monday. Scores of shops selling Valentine's Day gifts were attacked and ransacked in Kanpur city. Police have arrested dozens of people for arson.
Nothin' says lovin' like somethin' from the oven.
The Indian Express said that several couples were punished publicly. Men were beaten and women were paraded in the streets with their faces blackened with bruises. The right-wing students had warned people not to celebrate Valentine's Day, which has become very popular in India in recent years. Another nice fucking name.
