He could have well bought a pink underwear from a shop and donated it for the Pink Chaddi campaign started by Delhi girl Nisha Susan to protest the militant ways of the Sri Ram Sene. But a Mumbai-based man, who identified himself only as Bharat, took great pains to dye his briefs from white to pink for the campaign. What is more, he even left a handwritten note berating Sri Ram Sene chief, Pramod Muthalik. Bharat's contribution struck a chord with us because it made us feel that our symbolic gesture was being embraced not only by women, but also by men, said Mumbai marketing manager for the campaign, Ashwini Shetty-Pradhan.u00a0

Ashwini, a resident of Powai, says she has already received over 100 chaddis in Mumbai against the moral policing of the Sri Ram Sene, but regrets not meeting Bharat. He could not be traced either because he just donated the chaddi and left. 'I had asked all donors to leave their packets with the watchman. I wish I had met this one contributor (Bharat) because not only did he take the pains to dye his chaddis pink, but also wrote a passionate note criticizing the Sri Ram Sene for their goondagiri.'u00a0
