indian moral (po)lice
India seems to have gone mad all of a sudden. Public institutions have gone crazy conservative and the public is stupidly silent about it. The police have taken it upon themselves to instill moral values in the youth of the country. And what exactly are these moral values? Think of nimrods from the 12th century and what their values would be. A few weeks ago a couple kissing in a madras club were arrested for indecency. The club has been shut down for allowing such "obscene acts". Apparently such moral policing is not restricted to chennai. This sort of nonsense is happening in most big cities. Why is there no protest? An 18 year old girl gets a say in who gets elected to public office but does not get to decide what clothes she wears. Or who she chooses for a boyfriend and whether she can hold his hand in public. Hold his hand, mind you. And this is India Shining? A progressive country waiting to break loose. Give me a break. Soon they will start shutting down the voice of dissent and we can quit calling it a democracy.

yes, it is a SIN to kiss in a club where except for the pesky voyeurs, no one else is really giving a damn... or getting corrupted/inspired whatever. But it is completely socially sanctioned and acceptable for kids to watch songs featuring grotesquely fat women jiggling orgiastically in the arms of lecherous men in film songs that are constantly beamed into tamizh homes overflowing with "kalacharam" by sun tv and co . cest la vie. and not to mention the new breed of violence rampant in the movies ,inspired by films like sin city,which have people marinated and roasted to perfection in bubbling oil and being battered to death by buffaloes . These promote and elevate our culture. A bottle of beer and a snog on the sly denigrates us. we are tamils, we are like this only.
