I agree

I agree whole-heartedly with the author.

As a people Indians cannot get over the habit of drooling and ogling over females. They publicly exhibit this perversion so shamelessly - making lewd comments, making actions, even go to the extend of touching etc.

This is *definitely* due to the image of women created by the media and movies - with all the suggestive dances, dialogues with dual meaning and 'item numbers'. This is creating a bad orientation in the mind of the people and they look upon every good looking female as an object of entertainment and pleasure. They stare at them like a jackal would stare its prey and make unwanted advances. The reason I say this is that I have observed (from my years abroad) that men from other countries and cultures don't seem to suffer from this 'disease' of staring, ogling, eve-teasing etc.

This IS a product of our filmi culture. There is nudity in foreign movies also - but all that will be as part of the story - not nudity for the sake of it.

And Rediff, you too are in the forefront of this ill-projection of women - with all the drool lists of hollywood and bollywood beauties you put out so religiously.
