Because of this.No other reason ( I prefer delusion to cold hard reality).

I suppose the people who go around doing such distasteful stuff(distasteful IMHO) do it because they have no chance of doing “distasteful” stuff(distasteful in their not so humble opinion).

[quote] “We are deadly against Valentine’s Day. We are for civilized love and affection.” [/quote]

Does he mean “dead against” ? Or that Terrible Valentine’s Day has no hope against them? Knowing these fellows, they may believe the latter as well.

They may be for civilized love and affection, but what about civilized behaviour on the streets?

[quote] “Sena activists sent out a diktat against Valentine’s Day celebration and threatened to beat up couples found celebrating their love.” [/quote]

Perhaps threats of thrashing were made civilly.

Another excerpt: this taken from here

[quote] “An attempt to burn effigies of “Man and Woman” by Thevar Thesiya Manram was foiled by police, who arrested 17 members of the association.” [/quote]

Well, what do you know? I thought these kind of protests were reserved for “Man and Man” and “Woman and Woman” (I understand Earth/Fire/Wind/Water/Heart…I mean,one of Earth/Fire/Water had such elements which shocked our moral society!)

But “Man and Woman”? Then we may as well as ban all movies/tv shows/books, not to mention exiling everyone but bachelors and spinsters(non-dating of course).

I suppose all that is left for the remaining people is “Me and Myself”, which, quite frankly, gets boring after a while.
