Do Misbehaving Men Bother You on Holi?

Holi festival celebrations have already started in Mathura and Vrindavan, where Lord Krishna was born and grew up. However, according to a newspaper report, many young women have had their fun spoiled by groping guys.  Apparently, the situation has become so bad in recent years that some women either don't go out without their parents, or are not allowed to go out, because of fear of harassment.

Holi can be great entertainment. But it can also be a difficult time for women. Inebriated guys, covered in color and unrecognizable, sometimes make the most of the opportunity to inappropriately touch and harass women.

What's been your experience? How do you feel about it?

Happy holi even if it does make the men worse but not as bad as those inappropriately touching moustached men of Varkala in Kerla, Hope you guys have fun and wish we had holi.

Men are 100% to blame, responsible for their decisions, actions. Women do not cause men to assault, just because women are outside. This is absurd. Cease your gender bigotry. She got raped because she was outside during Holi. Hogwash! People are raped because perpetrators decide to assault.
