PUNE: Heads of prominent educational institutions in Pune - including Symbiosis, Maharashtra institute of technology (MIT), Bharti Vidyapeeth, Indira institute and Cummins foundation - have joined hands with other city groups to oppose the Westernised celebration of Valentine’s Day in Pune.

Vidya Yerawadekar, deputy director of Symbiosis; Vishwajeet Kadam, director of Bharti Vidyapeeth; and Rahul Karad, director of MIT school of management; among others, have signed on posters urging the youth to shun Valentine’s Day celebrations and show commitment to Indian culture.

“Why do we need Valentine’s Day,” the posters say in Marathi, urging students not to accept the Valentine’s Day culture and instead celebrate ‘Vasantotsav’, the spring festival.

The posters have been released by Pune cards and gifts association and Tandem, an organisation established by Bharatiya Janata Party activist Sandeep Khardekar, who started an anti-Valentine’s Day movement in 1998. Symbiosis and some other educational institutions, besides former mayor Vandana Chavan, are part of this organisation. Yerawadekar told TNN that Symbiosis was participating in the initiative “because we liked the idea of spreading Indianness among students.”

She said it was necessary for Symbiosis to participate in this initiative as a large number of students from her institute participated in celebrations like the Westernised form of V-Day.

At a press conference on Monday, the Pune cards and gifts association announced that this year, too, they would not stock any Valentine’s Day items for sale. In 1998, some card shops and florists had been attacked by right-wing organisations opposed to Valentine’s Day celebrations.

Since then, Pune shopkeepers have refrained from selling any V Day item out of fear of a similar backlash. “We have stopped selling these items for the past three years as we feel that unpleasant incidents like forcing girls to accept Valentine’s Day cards or roses were happening,” Nitin Naik, vice-president of the association said.

He added that the association had decided to join hands with Tandem to stop the “commercialisation” of love and encroachment of foreign culture on the Indian way of life.

Khardekar, who also addressed the press conference on Monday, announced that a seminar on ‘Love: Our culture and modern ideas’, would be held before Valentine Day is observed on February 14.

“The aim of the seminar is to create awareness among the youth about V-Day marketing gimmicks and the unhealthy trends creeping into our culture,” Khardekar said.
