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!
