I was happy when I read Yesterday's TOI,for there was a mention of the famous female actor of South India,Khushboo.It said the charges pressed against her were dismissed....finally!Sex is a taboo in India,speaking about it is forbidden(especially for Women of India) and pre-marital sex is non-existent(yeah,rite!)
Khushboo was accused of corrupting the sanctity(??!!) of women by talking about pre-marital sex and not making a big deal if they are not virgin at the time of marriage.How could this possible corrupt anybody's sanctity.Do men find sanctity between the legs of a Woman? So if she keeps her legs crossed till she get married,could she be labled 'Holy Cross'!!!!
The Tulsi plant is,botanically,named as Ocimum Sanctum.Is it because of the nature of the plant or on the virginity basis....too complex,isn't it? Sex is the integral part of a committed relationship beyond the wedlock's,one of the ways to keep your partner happy,part of life.Then how could it be corruptible???? Forget about the act,in India there are these kind of men who think of it as a crime if a woman talks about it.They want the Indian women to remain innocent about it even if she's married and had kids.Are you nuts or have you lost some???
I'm happy atleast now that the supreme court met the expectations of sensible people.
I'm sure Vatsayana will be happy too ;-)(I'm confused,isn't this guy an Indian?)
lol, super cute...I kinda wonder why Tulsi got roped into this ;-)(I know its the sanctum part etc)
ReplyDeleteMore than a taboo, its considered a behind the door business and yet...Vatsayana and Khajuraho in our text books??????
Well Said... Today's india, we talk about an open culture, but never come forward to admit it. we still live as a community and not as an individual. hope things change soon. and hope soon these culture police (Hooligans in the name of Culture) soon disappear. People hardly realize to mind their business and let others mind theirs'. Well i think i am going the wrong way in the wrong place. ;-)
ReplyDeleteBTW who is Vatsayana? never heard of him.
@Pali: Yeah it's the sanctum part being used to describe the nature of Tulsi against which women are generally measured in being pure or not.And nah,we don't need it in our text books and schools if parents take that responsibility.
ReplyDelete@Sri:Nope,you are in the right place.Google up Vatsayana and you will know lot about him.Sad that you don't know ;-)
well i am more of science person.. not history you see..
