The author seems to put her case beautifully as if whatever is done by the Big Brother or the college staff is wrong.
I believe she cannot understand the practical problems raising out of such behaviour in public, whose results we experience now in Delhi (including DPS) and Mumbai.
It is our culture to dress and behave decently in public (even if it is with your spouse). That is the tradition/culture of India.
this is not so.. let us not talk bad about these activities of the police.
The westernization of the Indian Culture is going at such a dangerous phase, that it needs lots of filter in it. We need to allow only those western practices that would be good for our people.
The author's dream of Thursday (scene: 5 ) is too much... While scene 3 happens in many of the colleges,,,,I support the author.
For Scene1& 2: Tell me.. What is the need to do such things in public places..justify yourself? For Scene 4 : The actress delivered her idea in an amateur way. She is paying price for it.
These things need to be checked.
tell me the reason for the following facts 1. very less no of eve teasing cases than any other Metros in India 2. very less no of rape incidents than any other Metros in India 3. very less no of unlawful activities than any other Metros in India
if you find the reason for these activities you can surely understand the Big Brother's attitude. Than any other metros in India, the Police in Chennai has good respect from people. In fact the people fear for them.
Don't do such canvassing any more Think as responsible elderly citizen kb

What a pity!! We are in a democratic (atleast in paper) country. People do not have to fear cops!! Instead of protecting people, the cops are blood sucking(read corrupt), useless lot in India(just like in movies, they reach at the crime scene after the crime has occured). They hold too much power: can torture people at will. Are we in Hitlers's Germany? As Indians our only 'high impact' contribution is from C V Raman. Except for that we are always number 1 for wrong things (AIDS, poverty, TB, corruption, bad roads, dishonesty the list is vitually endless).
Instead of seizing the economic opportunities Indians want to save their "culture". What culture are we talking here:Worshiping cows? Denying people who wants to eat beef? Working in a govt. job with almost no productivity? Greasing the palms of every official? Producing thousands degree holders with rigid, outdated education system? Sitting on the banks of Ganges?
India is backward because of its people, not the government!!!
Who ever wrote this column has really given the right picture of what chennai city is undergoing now.....Hats off for this person who has thought about the column to be published.
I think the politicians and the BIG BROTHERS are creating a big scene without understanding wha culture is for
once you start imposing restrictions the young are complelled to find new ways to be as they want to be. this does not mean that they should be let loose, it is bounden duty of the parents, teachers, and the community to make them realize what is culture, friendship, love etc and be a trendsetter. it is not only the dress or the physical nearness that matters it is really the dirty mind that brings havoc. politicians ride on these issues for their advantage and publicity. let all of us help these young brains to pluck that dirty little part in their mind and everything will be OK.
Even though the city is Metro in nature their thinking is narrow minded. The attitude is so bad -which is the basic reason -- inspite of all intellectuals -- the city has not moved forward that is or was expected, of Chennai.
You cannot blame the citizens. It is the fault of the parties which govern the State.
ETHO RAJA THATA PRAJA - the citizesns just follow what the rulers do.
It is high time the attitude of the politicians who rule or govern the State of Tamilnadu and in Chennai particular change - otherwise things are bound to become worst from worse..........
Already the citizens are starved of water, whereas all other major ciites have received very good rains. Several good televison channels are not part of their cable system, which other parts of Tamilnadu and other cities enjoy. The system of auto, overcrowded buses, type of weather(hot, hotter, hotest) the list can go on and on ...........
The above is not to hurt the sentiments of citiziens of chennai but the reality of the facts.

Buddy, this topic is about moral policing and dont you talk about Weather and other stuff!!!.
Ive been living in this city for the past 26 years and i dont see any difficulty or any issues, this poor thing called SHOBA finds this city a big mess.
Women here are treated a lot better than in other cities, if she wants women to Dress in seethrough attire, kiss publicly, do all sorts of things let her and her supporters do that in Kerala, Shoba's own country!... LOL.
Is the author's screws loose ? What rot is she talking ? Does she even know what happenned exactly ? Without knowing the facts, how can she be allowed to write an article. That bedroom stuff is the height of imagination. I am ashamed of the sick female.
Its a reflection of a section of men in the south who desperately wanna take us back to the stone age to combat the inferiority complex they suffer now when compared to us women.
The subservient woman is their fantasy come true and its probably true of our Whacko Commissioner too!
Obviously nothin go on in the confines of his 4 walls?!
