Yes, it can happen. For this Big Brother, LOVE is crime and the culture says - Do not do good things -Even God has not said this and not banned it!!!
Rather, these stupid people put efforts to stop crime, robberies and corruption. But no, they think that all the crimes are part of our culture and doing LOVE is against culture. This can be the rule of devils only. Why do we allow such devils to rule us???
oh ! god pls stop... % of rape is very much higher in delhi , mumbai compared to chennai and one of the most peaceful state in India. there are more good things to write about..! If the college has a certain dress code what is wrong with that ?. Does Indian culture too matured that kissing in public should be allowed ?..
Even though Chennai is filled with friendly people, These guys are just nuts about their so called culture! Night-life in <<amma-land>> is simply miserable... people are not even allowed into the famed Marina beach late in the night! And all the discos shut shop bang at mid-night... Yet the city has one of the highest crime rates in the country. Time for the cops to realise that its their action that can stop crime and forcing people to inactiveness will not...
There is no point singling out Chennai. Kissing in public is, per the current laws, unlawful. The trouble is with the plethora of archaic laws that Indian citizens are saddled with.
In the name of "morality", we go overboard in enforcing hypocritic laws thrust on us by the Victorian era British Raj. Why should others care about consensual kissing, or dance bars? Why whould we care if somebody chooses to be gay?
We have not matured enough to understand that morality is not something that has to be administered by the govt. through the enforcement of barbaric laws. We have not grown up to realise that inspite of the opium of political freedom, we still do not have true freedoms - economic freedom and social freedom. We have not become wise enought to realise the implications of the name Bharat, which is derived from the name of the child born out of the union of Shakunthala and Dushyantha in the forest. We do not realise that by suppressing teenagers' hormonal inclinations, we are paving the way for true immoral lives later.
Ofcourse, there is no point in saying more about a country that imposes a customs duty of 100% on imported pianos just to keep out "western" influences!
Well what he said is not entirely true. Whatever the person has said is in context of the recent news that have hogged the media limelight.
Part media, part the culture somebody wants to perpetrate who defenetly never had an iota of self worth, these things won't last for long. We have many examples in front of us. Parent's presence in court marriage, remember?
Anyways, people are much matured and they understand the scene pretty well themself.
You've written good, as always, but it would have helped if you checked up some facts and introspected for some morals, before putting fingers to keyboard.
Section 294 of the IPC prohibits obscenity in various forms, including gestures & body language, revealing clothing that attracts unnecessary attention, and other things that may be classified as "soliciting". It is this section that the Police evokes to book sex workers/traffickers, who are also rightful citizens of India.
In a degrading society, where Public Display of Affection becomes a requisite for being featured on Pg 3, where the society is forced to "accept" these as part of "the changing times," where the common man is supressed from reacting against this by the big brotherly attitude of his/her peers (opinion leaders, as theory calls them) and the media (which comprise of writers like you), shouldn't we be re-examining our morals, and the law of the land before pouring venom into the web?
More than "safe" sex, it is abstinance that is seen to be victorious against the diseases you seemed concerened about. Virginity is not a lack of opportunity, it's a choice those with guts make.
Nobody says kissing is bad ( as depicted in the article). But, kissing in public may be embarassment for all and since it is a public place where all sorts of people come, it is better to atleast control the urge in a few places and open up when you are private.
Nobody says boys and girls speaking is bad( as depicted in the article). But, putting say topless or other revealing shirts is that too not in any place. Only in education camups where there needs to be a minimum decency dress code. Dress codes are there in IT firms. Dress codes are there in foreign countries too and even in places where there are none, quotes had been there to put some pleasant and professional dress as much as possible.
I think the author is A self styled leftist like one famous indian newspaper editor who thinks that they are liberating the world with their new modern non-superstitious ideas.
Yes the Big Brother is there ! All the above information what is written is true. But only partially true. Yes Chennai is conservative. Thats why you have less number of rape cases here when compared to Delhi and the other big cities where crime agains woman is on the rise. The same big brother took such a couple in Mumbai and raped the girl in the Marine Drive. What do you say for that. Atleast she was not subjected to that here in Chennai.You allow everything to happen and then start cribbing about it. College girls are asked to dress conservatively so that its not provoking which induces men for molestation. I also very much feel that girls should have a liberal drss code, but what about the stupid roadside romeos who are ready to pounce on them. The heroine made a statement that husbands while marriage should not worry whether her wife is a virgin or not and she was nowhere talking about safe sex. Virginity is a virtue that is very important to our culture. I once again tell that it not applies for woman but also man as well. I am resident of Bangalore and not Chennai and I know the atrocities happening here.
Thanks Arvindh, But Sorry for making a reply on the above topic. I feel, I should respond that since i come across on this.
Who is she(Shobha Warrier) to talk about Chennai....?
Question to shobha: 1. Have you been to here(chennai)...? 2. Even if what you said is going to be true..we people are proud of being in Tamilnadu, since atleast in our city, we are maintaining good law and order in the cities(unlike others) and following our own traditionality. By doing so....what hurts you....? 3. If others(country people) are trying to follow our(Indian) culture....why do you want to become them? 4. Provide authenicated information, we can discuss on that. which will be good. 5. Dont exaggerate things in this fashion and hurt the people.....
Thanks..a lot Mr.divneet for your advise....you have opened our(chennai people) eyes....
