Hindu Extremists Target Club Culture

Fundamentalist Hindu politicians in India have launched a campaign against nightclubs suggesting discos are symbols of Western culture, the Guardian revealed this week.

"Hinduism is not seen as a threat to the West or as a force that could clash with European civilisation but like Islam, Hinduism has its fundamentalists," the paper reported.

"A number are members of the Indian government- one minister from the religious wing announced last month that discos in five star state-owned hotels would be shut down to halt the influx of western culture."
