Everybody has the right to celebrate festivals. The poor in this country need these festivals as a way of relieving the stress in their difficult lives. But surely those indulging in violence and hooliganism needed to be brought to the book.
A friend of mine narrated a story about how some people in a procession attacked a terrified dog that was hiding under a rickshaw. They threw a fire-cracker at the poor animal and it died. These sadists seemed to enjoy this. People in these Ganesh processions also molest women and attack pedestrians.
Ganapathi Bappa would strongly disapprove of such actions.
