Activists belonging to Sankriti Bachao Manch and 'Akhil Bharatiya Vidhyarti Parishad (ABVP) protested the launch ceremony of Rishi Ajaydas's Hindi book titled 'Vivah - Ek Naitik Balatkar' (Marriage, a moral rape) as they found it an attempt to belittle the institution of marriage viewed highly in Indian culture.They claimed the contents of the book is an insult to marriage institution and an attack on Indian ethos.While manhandling the author Ajaydas, some activists tried to blacken his face, but police prevented them.
Speaking to ANI, Sanskriti Bachao Manch convener, Chandrashekhar Tiwari said: 'If someone tries to launch an attack on our culture then we can even take more severe action than this. This was just a trailer and if someone attacks our culture then obviously we will not tolerate it.'
Similar incidents happened with Salman rushdie's satanic verses and Taslima nasreen's Lajja.Authors should be very careful in writing such books.Scriptures always advocate peace and tolerance but devotees always turn violent.
