Fantastic article. Shobha Warrier has exposed the hypocracy in Chennai. I am (or perhaps was) a Chennaiite myself and am in my early 30s. Looks like I was able to do things with more freedom in my college days than kids get to do now.
The Big Brothers in Chennai seem to be oblivious to the concepts of 'Freedom of Speech' and 'Invasion of Privacy'. Do they realize that in many cases they are infringing upon the constitutional rights of people.
Its extremely sad to see my beloved Chennai deterorating to such depths. In a city where politicians are not questioned for polygamy and well connected people indulge in 'extra-curricular' activities at their whim, the common man is crucified in the name of 'Culture & Tradition'. Whither culture & tradition disappears in these cases I wonder !!!
