Do ppl in chennai need this kind of "Moral Policing". For that matter is this actually moral policing. Tomorrow when a mother kisses her child in public, we may see "Big Brother" questioning her actions. This has to stop. Moral Policing is fine, but who gets to set the limits??
i am from & settled in bangalore. in the past, i've lived in chennai for more than a decade....chennai is not like the city that has been described in this article. plz dont asssume about a city if u want to write an article for the heck of it. i guess u r feeling insecured since all the IT jobs are moving to chennai and the IT / BPO companies are coming with huge facililities in chennai...
dear sir, i read ur article in rediff, i want to tell u one thing, that is not chennais culture that is indian culture,so try to avoid this type of new in ur prestegeous websit.
haha..well..whoever wrote this must really have had some awesome experiences in chennai.i was there for like 7 months in chennai & i guess most of whats written's true (exept for a li'l exaggeration ofcourse,since its human to do so)..another thing bout chennai is their ability to change people's names left , right & centre..(in my case centre i guess)..coz i got used to people callin me raGul.
i stay at mumbai and i guess most of the places in india are pretty averse to pda's,coz it aint too different out here either as far as the tiff's between pda's & big brother's are concerned.But i guess everything changes with time...thats natures principle..
Well, out the outset i do not agree with what is happening in Chennai with reg to the moral policing. But the author has written the piece in such a way as if evrything is BLACK there, which i do not think so is the case. Added to it is the attitute of present day intellectuals and people like our author and media to justify and oppose things in the pretext of Freedom of Expression!!! For GOD sake, please have some balance of mind. We are progressing all fields, no doubt but we may need some more time to accept things like fashion, open sex, live in etc etc things. After all we are just aping the Foreginers under some pretext or the other and i accept that it has become inevitable but do not write off people and the expressions of people as STUPID. After all, those who agitated against the comments of actress were more of illeterate women and for them such sentiments matters more!!!!
Be more sensitive in criticism and we have recognise that we still need some more time to move on to that mode which our author expects to be!!!!Untill then one shoudl have to encounter such things happening around as it only shows the disparity that is clearly there in our society.
Scene 5 is absolutely idiotic and own imagination.. Scene 4 is becoz of politics and not becoz of people..
Scene 1-3... do u dare to say that becoz of these actions( scene 1-3) any of the youngster will be spoiled....can u point any of the "responsible" parents who oppose these actions... no, u cant... every thing drives to discipline... We love the way Chennai is... Becoz of the new culture and MNCs' invasion to India...the youngsters are losing the great Indian culture and values...
Chennai police has taken necessary steps to save this culture as much as possible....
Dont blame Chennai for its discipline.... we are really proud to have such actions in the city... it makes the parents feel happy that the future is disciplined...
Hi , The author seemed to have no other intention but to highlight a good culture in the worst way. Kissing is a way of expressing love, but hold. Kissing in public places should be discouraged.
Hi Big brothers please wake up. we are in 2000. this is not only for chennai it for hole county to stop moral policing. who has give you right to tell what is good and what is bad. we have our parents and elders to do this. why dont you do your duty properly to stop muders , theif , gangrape and otheres. pls make sure you dont inlovee you time and energy in htis small things.
