... it is nice to note that one socio-political outfit in India has come out in the open to celebrate it: the Periyar Dravida Kazhagam (DK) founded by E.V. Ramaswami Naicker. Here's the logic:
"Periyar EV Ramaswami wanted to see the creation of a casteless society, and the PDK feels that love marriage is the route to reaching such a goal. Love marriage is the only way to a casteless egalitarian society," PDK general secretary K Ramakrishnan told this ... newspaper.
Here's some more from the story:
The outfits opposing Valentine's Day, Ramakrishnan said, had a jaundiced view of 'love' and its celebration.
Of course, he quickly added that what the PDK supported is true love and not momentary infatuations that are quite prevalent. The youth should adopt a mature approach to love and for this sex education is necessary at school level.
