ahaha what gentlemanly behaviour, where were you guys when hyderabad burned a few days ago bcos of a blast by one of their own, where were you when people rioted on the streets because saddam hussain was hung, were you guys sleeping when a UP minister put a bounty of 51 lakhs on the danish cartoonist. Looks like you people fight for freedom of speech selectively

absolutely. Most societies recognise that freedom of expression must necessarily clash with religious sensitivities. Mindful of this conflict, they create their own balance and draw their own boundaries to decide what is acceptable and what is not. For instance, the Islamic world regards all offence to religion as entirely unacceptable. In the West, such societies as Britain and Denmark reckon that freedom is so absolute that religious sensitivities are irrelevant. When cultures clash, as they did over the Danish cartoons, each society must decide what balance it prefers.
Our problem in India is that we have no standards, no barriers and no sense of what is acceptable and what is not. Instead, each time the issue erupts, we engage in the same meaningless, finger-pointing debates, and call each other names. No principles are ever discussed. No guidelines are drawn up. No balance is reached.
And after some time, when another such incident occurs, we have the same pointless debates all over again. In the process, we learn nothing and forget everything.
