Well her dad was Nobel Laureate, does that mean that all Nobel Laureates daughter need to be Sanyasini(priest) or should they be wrapped in cloth and mummified. India was never a conservative country look at the sculpture of beautiful women in temple. It is the influence of Buddhism, Mughals that confused our brain. Were we not more progressive before that.

India was always a conservative country. It has always held up decency and chastity at high level. Dont make things up. If India was liberal towards the arts that doesnt mean its culture had encouraged nudity and open sexuality. In any case a poor and largely illiterate country has other pressing needs than a sexual revolution that will surely encourage prostitution, rapes and abuse of women.

You are dead wrong! India was and is the only country which did not prosecute people because they believed or entitled to any other opinion. India was the only liberal country in the country which never prosecuted jews for practicing their religion. In the past when Zoroastrian fled iran they found refuge in India. Your point totally contradicts a greatness of country which despite ugly force major e tried so hard for centuries but still stands united despite numerous language, religion, caste etc. How can you call a country conservative which has been tolerant towards different customs, religion?

Because you can not be tolerant without being liberal. What moral are you talking about? Abandoning old parents, corruption, apathy these are all high moral. Nandana sen's photo is no different than what you have seen in medieval, mythological painting of woman or sculptures in temple, this is what I am trying to point out. You have a problem with Nobel Laureates daughter wearing such clothes. My point is it's her business. There are many who wear white clothes and fully draped; they have inflicted more harm to this nation then a person wearing clothes who is in entertainment business. Why are you criticizing that?
