Sex and the Indian

Hardik Patel’s personal
life has been made ‘viral’ by certain holier-than-thou Indians. If anything, it underscores the hypocrisy
that accompanies the Indian mindset like a holy cow.
India is a country that
is governed by people with heinous criminal records. We have no qualms about accepting as our
heroes people who are worse swindlers than mafia dons. Mass murderers are elevated to the stature of
gods and temples are constructed for them.
But when it comes to sex, we have a quaint sense of morality.
Even Nehru has been drawn
into the controversy and parallel are drawn between that great personality and
Hardik Patel who is yet to prove anything except rabble-rousing skills. Some BJP leaders even went to the ridiculous extent
of posting pictures of Nehru hugging his own sister to show that he was a sex
maniac.
Nehru might have had
extramarital affairs. Extramarital
affairs are not justifiable as they pose serious threats to family bonds and significant
relationships. Nevertheless, they are
not criminal acts when they happen between mutually consenting adults. In the case of Hardik Patel, there is no
justification in taking to public his sexual relationships because he is a
bachelor and he has every right to choose his sexual relationships within the
limits of mutual consent between adults.
Why does India get
scandalised by the young man’s dalliance?
Are we nation of voyeurs? Isn’t
it sheer hypocrisy to enjoy watching videos of other people having sex and then
accuse them of immorality?
Indians have this
peculiar nature of peeping through keyholes and then pointing fingers at what
happens behind them. The habit is not
restricted to sexual activities alone. Indians enjoy eavesdropping and
rumour-mongering. Indians enjoy
tarnishing other people’s reputations.
Indians enjoy belittling others.
The Indian obsession with
the neighbour’s peccadilloes is as annoying as the Indian culture of dumping
waste of all sorts (including one’s excreta) in public places.
I endorse each and every word of this post. It's truth and nothing but the whole truth.
ReplyDeleteHappy to hear that, Jitenderji
Deletedon't think we should be generalizing like this and also only highlight India to be having such issue. I guess this is a problem almost everywhere. I have seen such issues mostly in small cities where people have more free time at their disposal.
ReplyDeleteGujarat is a small cities, I guess 🙄😶😉😆
