Taz Mahal was built in love for his wife.Radha loved Krishna.It is said that love is holy.If it is holy,then why does people protest valentines day,punish lovers in various parts across the country?In developed nations display of love is neither considered as obscene nor the people punished.Neither in any scientific ,moral or religious books,love was ever considered as against natural law or illegal,nor any country in this planet ever failed to develop for expressing love.Then why only in India?

British Prudishness left its mark on us. Valentine's Day is maninly protested by Hindu extremists thinking it represents infiltrating Western Culture.

Do I have to tell you that life is a wheel? All things have cycles.
The weight of a wheel obviously stands atop chest of reader. In the next life move aside faster. Until then, decide which way the
circle is turning and seek some advantage from that. Personally,
while the Taz Mahal is wonderful to look at if only from reflections
of still water, I'm not building another.

Indians donot consider love as shameful. But they realize people diong sinful acts in the name of love. That's we is considered as shameful by Indians. True love is never looked down by any of the Indians.
About Valentines day, it was a welcome until we started interpreting it wrongly. Not only in India but all around the world. All around the world there's a day dedicated to mothers, a day dedication to fathers and a day dedicated to friends. In India we also have a day dedicatied to relationship between brothers and sisters. Valentines day is a day dedicatied to your love.
We have changed the essence of the valentines day. It's more of a self centered celebration. HOW MANY PEOPLE IN THIS WORLD HAVE DEDICATED HIS/HER VALENTINES DAY TO THE SAME PERSON EVERY YEAR SINCE HE/SHE STARTED CELEBRATING IT? The answer would be shocking. One day in the year, we commit ourselves to someone, and a few years down the line we commit ourselves to someone else. Where is the essence of love?
No we cannot explain this by saying that a person caonnot stick the the same person throughout the life, or what if things between them go wrong. Else why do people fall in love when they don't know whether they are compatible or not and when they have no concrete plans about their future. And if without considering these facts you jump into it, why don't you stick on to it. When people fall in love they claim they can do anything for their love. but after the break off they would respond things didn't work out well for them. Was it love or experiment? If it was an experiment, they are not entitiled to participate in the celebration...
The fact is that we don't celebrate the day for our love but for ourselves. We plan out a romantic time to enjoy. Girls expect gifts, boys expect something else. The day when most of the couples forget their limits. When I say limits, I don't mean that they have sex or something like that. I am talking about the public display of their affection which is rightly so, not acceptable in our Indian culture.

real love...is never shameful or obscene.
but it should be pure....like the agape love or even affection .
but the love that is being protested is the lustful..bodily kind...eros.
