Hearts, chocolates, Valentine's cards and flowers have made their way into stores, but not everyone is happy that this unofficial holiday has made inroads in India. According to various news sources, many Hindu and Muslim extremist or separatist groups protest the holiday which they believe corrupts moral values. As an article from azcentral.com notes, some leaders believe the holiday is a conspiracy and a dangerous importation of American values.
Burning cards and holding rallies are not the only ways these groups protest. Some groups have even threatened to harm couples who are caught holding hands or engaging in other public displays of affection.
