I am glad that the Orissa government is taking propmpt legal action against the dirty people who have treated our Gods and men like Gandhiji and Nehru. Their culture is such that teachers in schools and colleges enter classes and see their students putting their legs on tables and stay that way for a while. A story to describe American culture. John and Mary were happily seeing their children playing in their garden. Mary says, So, " John Darling! See how your son and my son are playing with our son!!" So, let us remember the Indian proverb, Dogs may bark at angels in heaven; but the angels are not worried.

I don't understand this "holier than thou" mentality. The our son, your son story, I mean... Well, they don't burn their wifes and daughters-in-law for dowry, do they? Or in general harass their daughters for dowry? Why is it that in India, in most weddings, the lady's side has to bear all expenses of the wedding? Why is it unsafe for women in many cities after dark, whereas women in the US can walk on the street anytime of the day and generally be safe? Why do you need ladies compartments in Indian trains? Ever wondered why? Here's why - women in the first world have much more freedom and social rights than here. They are therefore more likely to walk away from an abusive or adulterous relationship than an Indian woman (log kya kahenge mentality). They are more financially stable - most have a career. We by and large suppress our women (in varying degrees, somewhat less in metros, more in villages).
Every culture has it's positives and negatives. Do not be under the impression that every american family is like that. In fact, such families are in the minority. Yes, divorce rates in the US are much higher than in India, but still most marriages (except in hollywood) go the distance.
BTW, from personal experience, Desis have no value for their word. Ethics is something we as a culture lack - everything is fair if money can be made is very very common. Second being dignity of labour.

The only reason why the government has acted is that it also contain pictures of gandhi, and other leaders. Had it been only gods, they will still claim it as a mythological characters!
