Everybody says that displaying expressions of love is not against our culture and jeopardizes its very sanctity. Come on !!!
One can see such acts, or in fact , much more "provocative" ones ,immortalised in full glory on the walls of our ancient temples. No, I'm not talking just of the Khajuraho temples, but a lot of temples and palaces in the south, including Karnataka ! So aren't these temples and palaces not part of culture. Didn't we evolve from them??
Ancient Indian society and culture was far too liberal , even for current Western standards , and the very fact that ,such expressions of love were carved on temples ( supposed to be the centres of culture and art in those days) proves that people respected and revered love and passion. They were not Taboo !!! Somewhere down the line , our society started to slowly introduce these conservative ideologies , which are so damn unnatural to our culture , and alas, today we scorn them as being sacrilegious!!!
Would these people who blacken out "obscene" posters in the city walls do the same on temple walls ? It is totally ridiculous how our society has evolved to be so hypocritical !!!!
