In India, in past Valentine's Day has been explicitly discouraged by some of the Hindu fundamentalists. Since 2001 there has been each year violent clashes between shopkeepers dealing in Valentine related items and Shiv Sena die-hards, who oppose it as "cultural pollution from the west". Especially in Mumbai and surrounding areas Bal Thackeray and others sent out signals before the day warning people not to have anything to do with Valentine. Those who violate this are dealt with harshly by baton-holding brigands of Shiv Sena who lurk in public places especially parks, chasing young people holding hands and others suspected to be lovers. In many parts of south India couples who are found in parks and other public places are immediately forced to marry on the spot by the Shiv Sena and other similar activists.
This year, Shiv Sena is busy counter striking Rahul Gandhi, Sonia Gandhi and Shah Rukh Khan, and they have forgotten Valentines Day .
