Forever Dead

the title is random. As shall be the post.
'Indian culture'. Brilliant term.Brilliant Cliche.Every single act of violence against expressions of love, the fairer sex and anyone who dares oppose all of this is justified at the behest of Indian culture. If those proliferating this nonsense had their way, my mum would've never got her PhD. My sisters would've never been able to exercise their right to education. Like 'good' Indian women, they'd be illiterate, subservient and oft abused.
If their ideology was to be subscribed to, Hinduism says that men and women are to not fall in love with each other. Any external or material manifestation of their love is to be questioned and quashed by any means possible.Even from the point of an atheist, this is fiction penned down with a lot of imagination.Let us not debate scripture, for the Bajrangis shall lose hands down on that point. Let us rather solve a silly little paradox here. Prithiviraj Chauhan is listed as one of the inspirations for these organisations, as he managed to defeat the 'bad' Muslim ruler, Mohammed Ghori. The same Prithviraj who abducted Samyogita in order to defy society and marry her.Go Bajrangi,solve.
If we are to progress on the incorrect premise that Indian culture advocates repression of free expression,then the very idea of free expression should be repugnant to Indian society. A clear proof of it being an incorrect premise comes from the fact that policemen in Delhi, without any orders or instructions,were bashing up the Bajrangis who dared to create any disorder. 'Screw you saffron brigade' is the clear mandate of the urban Indian population, which is somehow conveniently ignored by the fundamentalist groups.
One of the many reasons for my apostacy, this.Hail Bertrand Russell.

The Delhi HC recently ruled that PDA is allowed, acceptable and dropped charges against a couple that was taken to court for kissing in a park.

Go solve, Bajrangis. :P
