Radical Hindu women !

    Set up by the hardline Hindu organisation VHP (Vishwa Hindu Parishad or World Hindu Council) in 1984-85.

    Women aged 15 to 35 years are eligible to join the group.

    The group's website describes it as a "dynamic voluntary organisation" of young Hindu women.

    It says the organisation "strives for the security of society" and imparts knowledge of culture and tradition.

    Every member is expected to exercise regularly for "increasing her physical stamina" and to read "good literature".

    The group says it "ensures rehabilitation" of widows, women who have been deserted by their husbands, or women "involved in accidents".

    Training camps of 15-20 days are organised for members in all states.

    The group runs vocational training and tailoring centres and blood donation camps, among other things.

    Members are also trained in "dagger wielding" and use of firearms, according to the website.

                         

                 

Eighty girls march and chant through the streets of the western city of Aurangabad.

They are about to proudly proclaim India a Hindu nation. 

Durga Vahini literally means Army of Durga -

named after the goddess who is among the fiercest in the Hindu pantheon !!

The girls are dressed in white salwaar kameez (pyjamas and long tunics)

and saffron-coloured dupattas (scarves)

Two of the camp leaders are at the front of the bus leading the girls in a chant:


"Hindustan is for Hindus. Pakistan can go to hell!" 

They are trained to be warriors and wives -

they must be strong enough to break the bones of the enemy -

but docile enough to never question their husbands. 

At the beginning of the 10-day camp, a majority of the girls were soft-spoken and shy !

                                 

Why do women have to be called radical?  ::LOL::


I consider a doormat to be radical.  ::LOL::
