I guess kashmir is more open minded and loves valentines day. This article comes from one who sees our culture and diversity as inferior to western one. But that is not my problem, you have shrinks for self esteem issues. Valentines day is not an Indian holiday or festival but a marketing gimmick to sell more cards and chocolates. Get a grip rediff and grow up.

Indian culture is not Taliban. Holding hands and kissing are expression of love and not vulgar. Nobody is having se7 in public. Falling in love is much better option than being a frustrated youth from the middle east and blowing yourself up in the name of religion. We used to see couples on the beaches in Mumbai when we were 5-6 years and I clearly remember never think much of it as all we were interested in playing. It's the elders who have problems in se7ually oppressed society such as India.

Public display is not love! See comment below. Its all about boys scoring. How many have ended MMS scandals and spoiling innocent girls' lives? Aping west has become a fashion as Indians feel inferior for the next century :)
