OUR CULTURE

We have definitely evolved socially and culturally. Still off late every little detour from the traditional beliefs is smeared to be culture assassination or indecent. Our national cultural policies are no doubt comical, but even stranger is our social norms which change from people to people, from time to time, simply based on convenience.

Advertisements of condoms and contraceptives are declared indecent! Perhaps condoms are indecent too. Men using them must be monsters or indecent inglorious creatures of nature. People defying popular social norms are indecent and are considered to give birth to trans-genders (considered as abnormal beings).

Sanitary napkins must be more indecent, hence a higher GST is levied on them. Even their advertisements should be timed from 23:00 hrs till 06:00 hrs.

Shhhh! Children must not see them or know about them.

But the children can be violated by molesters, pedophiles, rapists. Even then the society tries to hush them. Unfortunately, that is not indecent. That is rather hottest of news selling like Christmas plum cakes.

This society is liberally full and stinking of its own ideological garbage. How do you explain to your child what is the meaning of RAPE, when they read the paper (that, unfortunately, arrives after 06:00 hours) and ask you? Isn't it easier to explain what a necessity is, rather than explaining crime? How could a simpler thing of necessity be indecent?
