Valentines Day has become too commercial in every country it exists in, including India and the U.S. In India, it is also a reason for protests. Something they both agree on…(In 2006), hard-line Hindu groups and radical Muslims burned Valentine's Day greeting cards and held protests across India against celebrating the festival of love, saying it was a Western import that spread immorality. So the hardliners have started protesting already.
On the other hand, Indian firms export a record 100 million stems of roses this year, which is worth $ 80 billion. D Damas, a jewelry company, is having Valentine’s specials.
In my opinion, Valentine’s Day lacks any essence of sanctity for any religion but commercialism. Even so, I bought myself a bag of Lindt chocolates. I figures “it’s all about loving yourself.” So I took that from Karan Johar.
"When Indians do something they tend to overdo it." Valentine's Day is fuel that gives the local gundas the power to bug the women in the neighborhood. If only the hardliners were out there detering these type of crimes instead of trying to stop those celebrating Valentine's day in a peaceful manner.
