In general we are hypocrates. Preaching one set of values and practising another. Last year there was a sting operation in Pentaluma county California. Out of 30 people caught on camera for soliciting sex with underage girls, 9 were Indians. There were latinos and Cubans too and only 2 whites. To coumpond the matters Indian consulate made casual remarks like the Mumbai police. We preach respect for women and murder them in the womb. We will not let pre-marital sex between consenting adults and yet highest number of underage girls are traded in south asia for commercial sex. Most people lose their virginity in brothels but they will not let couples even sit together holding hands in a park.
Moreover concept of western women being totally loose is wrong. Women and men here have very respectful relationships. The may not live the "saat janam tak saath" concept, but they do have very descipleaned behavior in public which is to say consenting adults do what they want but people will not force themselves on a girl even in a sex club. Yes there are sex crimes but the are not underreported as in India due to stigma and there are harsh punishments. Moreover unlike perception in India fun here means not just sex. Young people go skiing,camping, trecking, sledging or even play pool. All in all very healthy as compared to India. India needs to do serious rethinking on its problems and not blame the west. Anyone who lives here knows that. Incidences like Mumbai, Pune, Patna, Goa ....

Jaleel, what you mention is just one part of the story. It is not the question of hypocrasy nor culture. Crimes and sins do happen in all communities and societies. However it is the sense of shame or degree of shame thats attahced to these acts that counts. Mankind is born with inbuilt shame - especially the womankind. This is nature and any amount of liberalization will not take this away, only the degree shame will lessen. It is this sense of shame which has made it a crime to show the private parts in normal western tv or movies. You may see a woman topless but never completely nude, the fig leaf comes handy, why? Why this hypocrisy of west, show all or show nothing, why the fig leaf?
The moral degradation of west is very sever and has affected the individuals, it is sickeness of mind, loneliness, west has all material benefits then why the emptiness?
Though things do happen in India atleast the curtain is there. This is not hypocrisy, nor cowardness, but that sense of moral repsonsibility and shame which makes one hide his sins. Hiding ones sins is better than committing it openly.
Let us value what we have and preserve it for the coming generations.

I fully agree with you. Indians are the worst hypocrates creatures. Here in India everything is done and even worst behind curtain. Here also there are sex clubs, massage parlours etc, where openly everything takes place.

Men too have their self respect sir. Are men not modest? What about women seducing men? Does that not amount to molesting men? Why one set of laws for men and another for women?
