"The Supreme Court's disapproval of handcuffing notwithstanding, government railway police (GRP) personnel not only handcuffed a lovebird on Saturday and Sunday but also played the dreaded "Ram Sainiks" of sorts by making him and his girlfriend tie the knot late Sunday evening. "
was a post in one of the blogs. I was amazed to see the responses got for that blog, but even more astonishing was the fact that every single person thought moral-policing was 'dreaded'. That prompted me to start this blog where i will discuss nothing, but the so called 'moral-policing' and its influence on Bharatiya society.
Let us take a detailed look at the above mentioned 'love-birds' with some assumptions:
1. Assumption 1: The 'love-birds' want to get married!
So if somebody took the initiative and got them married off without all those fuss of parents, relatives and society (especially considering the fact they were of different caste), then that is a very noble act. If some NGO had done the same then you guys would've lauded that.
2. Assumption 2: The 'love-birds' didnt want to get married - just some coochie-cooing!
Well school goers would call this dating, some call it pure 'lust'. Tell me something, is there any one of you who havent been physically involved with more than one person. You love somebody with all your soul (and body) today. Tomorrow you guys decided to split up (a term from 'dating' dictionary) Then some'body' else come to your life - you love him/her again with all your soul (and body). And so many of them. So finally by the time you finally enter the 'holy' matrimony, you'd lost count of whom you had sex with. Live a happy life ever after? I dont think so. Think about all those mms/photos that you feature in and are circulating all the web. Think about your spouse watching it some fine day or you grow old and your own kids getting them.
Kids!!. Just imagine what you would do when your own kids start doing these things. Especially if you have a daughter and you caught her with her boyfriends one fine morning at a RS when she was supposed to be in school!! Or you find a strip of i-Pills in her purse (Thanks to them kids can have sex without really worrying about abortion - what an ad?)
3. Assumption 3: The 'love-birds' didnt want to get married - but no 'touchy-touchy' either!
Oh come on!! Who are you kidding? Today there is nothing of that sort. Today or tomorrow you feel like touching others fingertip then hold hands, then just a little hug, then a kiss on the cheek and .... let us try this position..
I mean either type of love will take you to those levels. It is natural for a couple to have those feelings, but what kept some (mainly older generations) were the responsibilities towards parents, (what my mom would think when she knows) society (what my neighbours and friends would think, when they know), the loyality (let me save it for 'The one'), righteousness (this is sin) and finally some fear of God (God, I dont think this is right).
Today with all those channels, wide spread of internet and porn sites, availability of 'proper' places and lesser and lesser time and control from parents, school going kids have lots of opportunities to explore.
If you didnt want touching, the other wants. And you dont want him/her to be mad right?
This is a debate that should not be debate at all. What are the positive things you can think of when a couple goes out on a valentine's day? (whose day? you dont celebrate diwali nowadays)
Why cant you guys just study (not just books, but study dancing, music, some instruments, some martial arts, yoga, some sports) when parents are there for you, get a great job, marry a wonderful person, have a happy and peaceful life and finally die with a smile on your face (ofcourse with lots of people to cry around you and remember you for a few generations atleast as a wonderful human being).
Too tough to be disciplined?
