Valentine's panty protest hits Hindu extremists
         

Elizabeth Roche – Wed Feb 11, 10:42 pm ET AFP/File – Activists of the hardline Hindu organisation the Sri Ram Sena (Lord Ram's Army) attacking customers …

NEW DELHI (AFP) – Nisha Susan is founder of the "Consortium of Pub-going, Loose and Forward Women" -- a group she set up as a provocative response to a recent attack by Hindu extremists on young women drinking in a bar in southern India.

Susan is a busy lady on an unusual Valentine's Day mission, sorting out piles of cards, letters and lots of pink underwear -- all destined for a right-wing Hindu vigilante group.

"There are many of these coming every day, these ones for instance are from Jaipur" in western India, said the 20-something Susan, holding up a pair of vivid pink panties.

Television footage of Sri Ram Sena (SRS, or Army of Lord Ram) activists chasing, slapping and kicking the terrified women prompted widespread condemnation and outrage.

The attackers, who style themselves as guardians of traditional Hindu values, were briefly detained and then released on bail, prompting Susan to take matters into her own hands.

Using the Facebook social networking site, she appealed to Indian women to send in their pink "chaddis" -- a colloquial Hindi term for underwear.
