The ruckus over a gere peck on the shilpa cheek, which is being branded as an un-Indian act and a kiss, is actually neither.For one, a kiss , is different from a peck and technically speaking lips have to meet. And about being un-indian, well, the oldest refrences to kisses are found in Indian texts, and according to some research, the kiss itself could very well be india's contribution to the world.
According to some research done by some history freak, first references to kissing appered in the vedic texts of 1500 BC. Even the mahabharata has mention of it and of course, you know what the kamasutra is all about, dont u?
But tell that to Pawan Surana, ex-head of rajasthan women's commission (i think it should be called rajasthan prudish women's commission), who says "No indian woman should have tolerated this", or to Poonam Chand bhandari (damn fame seeker), a jaipur advocate who moved court against Gere-Shilp for indecency.
Just what the fuck are these people up to? Are they trying to rebuild an archaic Indian morality on the debris of a once liberal culture? yes, seems like the answer.
Seriously just who the fuck are these people who call themselves moral police. They are just a bunch of lifeless prudes who raise their heads over non-issues like men and women holding hands, or couples kissing.....or even spending quality time in the park. These people are actually india's lunatic fringe.
Are'nt there more serious issues out there? I really don't see why political groups react in such a violent manner, i really don't see their point. I mean yeah its offensive and ooooh so hurting when couples hold hands in the park or kiss...but its really fine when cops go raping young girls isn't it? These nincompoops let the issue settle down once they've had their 15 seconds of fame.
Also the oooh so innocent prudish plebs of our society, the older...supposedly more experienced and understanding generation, support these bunch of thugs.....whereas after creating a racket its these very thugs who indulge in eve teasing or may be even rape.
So yes....unfortunately it is a prudish, hypocritical country we live in, and it has become second nature for Indians to voice their paltry opinion on everything under the sun. People who make moral judgments should judge their own character first.
