There are many good issues were raised by PMK. I think majarity of Tamilnadu politicians are corrupted. PMK is against Tasmac shops, too much fee in educational institution, aquiring farm land for industries etc. I am not saying PMK is genuine. But they are having the guts to oppose the rulling party than other party.
Visual media impact in TamilNadu is very high. Actress are like god in uneducated tamil people. You know some stupids built temple for Kushboo. These are all the cultural violation. We have to alert the people to be aware of all these cultual violation.

It is easy to find fault in any ruling party. PMK uses this technique in every election. Whether it is ADMK or DMK they will snap the relationship with that party after the elections and start blaming everything on the ruling party. Responsible leader role - When people voted for the coalition, stay in the coalition especially in the ruling party get maximum benefits for the constituency that elected you. This party just takes law and order in their hands whenever they want to make a point. The ultimate motive - How big impact they cam make in the next election.

well said - PMK only job is to pay attention to Movie personalities - in private, they watch and enjoy but in public criticize them :-)
Hey - these movie actors are public entertainers so leave them alone what they want to do. If they want to get rid of obscenity, they have to go have porn stars 1st before turning attention on Shirya or Namita.
Focus on your attention on wrongdoings of govt, corruption & welfare of poor.
It's an irony that this subject is discussed in an assembly where male members removed the doti of other members infront of female members...any good going...keep it up...
I think the Tamil Nadu Government and the Tamil Political parties are showing no signs of education these days. They are triggerring unwanted issues and inviting trouble for the tamil people living all over the world...
You should see the amount of taunting the Tamil people are suffering cos of some stupid people.
First, it was the agitation against Hindi... Result: Throughout India, people talk/understand Hindi and ONE state, that HATES Hindi!
Second, the agitation against English movie names. Result: All producers and directors running to tamil professors to find a translation to the name of the movie they are making.... Rudiculous Rule!
Third, "moral" police, running around booking every couple they see on the road. Even married people, were booked and demanded marriage certificates as a proof that they are married and not 'lovers' - how do u expect ppl to carry the marriage certificates when they go to Park and Beach...?
Now, the dress code.... Scan the tamil movies for over last three decades and see the dress code.... the language in the songs, the double language in movies.... etc.
Unfortunately, TN is one of the states where there are a lot of educated ppl....
I hope this would change, or else Tamil ppl will be scoffed at for the mistakes that a bunch of uneducated politicians are making!

Looks like there is a mafia running amock in TN. Wow "agitation against English movie names", "moral police, running around booking every couple they see on the road", "dress code". Is this Tamil Nadu we are talking about or Pakistan/Afghanistan ? And you guys voted these people in ?
Generally in Corporates the following is a 'NOT Acceptable' Dress code. Tank tops, sweatshirts, tee shirts, halter tops, bare midriffs, spaghetti tops, strapless or plunge cut blouses or dresses, shirts with writing or pictures printed on them
Beachwear, overalls, spandex or other form-fitting attire, and distracting or revealing clothes of any sort.
This can act like a guidance for a public function where "decent" dress code is expected

What is the big difference between a public function and a movie? In both cases public are the ones who attend so what difference does it make?

Its the ambience and environment. All of us are actors in our way, that doesnt mean we wear undies and goto a marriage or public meeting just because I wore at beach party with my friends who already saw me nude. The same friends of mine would redicule me.
Its not about Shriya (big fan of her shapes), but going to casual or in party wear to a public gathering is being out of sync. Especially the mumbaites (Suniel shetty in a southern awards function came with rags and unbuttoned fly, people were like where did this monkey (we are of same race) come from).

Why the hell 'corporates' and 'entertainement business' are compared? That too for guidence in dress code? Joke of the day?
I dont know where the hell on earth the polititians of Tamil Nadu get such a topic for debate and that also in the state assembly.This only shows that Tamil Nadu has now attained a high degree of development,as the precious assembly time is not for discussions regarding development or legislations but for the dress code and that also which cant be termed obscene in a real sense. There are no laws in India which puts restriction on the dress code.Everyone is free for what to wear provided it is not obscene but the term obscene itself is a confused word. There are 6 rights under rights to freedom which are all come under fundamental rights but which are limited by the fundamental duties which we are supposed to follow excersing these rights,like for freedom of speech should be used in the sense to not provoke anyone,etc,etc. So,what Shreyas has done does not violate any law,but still someone feels hurt then he/she can very well protest registering complaint,letters,boycotting the acctress,etc,etc.

Frederic Moni, Just for the Heck of Blabbering Something pls don't scribble ur nonsense in the Forum. Whether the Dress code was Vulgar or not should never become a State Agenda, there are bigger things for the State and the Nation to Tackle. If u don't Like Shreyas dress code, stop watching her movies, can you?
RE:Shreyasssssssssssssss
by Postwala on Jan 30, 2008 02:53 AM
what the hell are you talking, just because he said he did not her dress, he should not watch her movie.
Secondly, Assembly men are elected by us, if you can discuss if its good/bad, why should they not. Law/legalities are not about money. They are meant for creating a framework for all of us to coexist and live - economicsis only part of it. Its good they are discussing/

first i want to see the book or sculptured rock to know wat is tamil culture or where tamil culture is defined. If we have to go by known history in books and pictures in historical places, woman in tamilnadu atleast did not wear blouse, why dont they force that. First know and teach people how to respect Human being, then we can teach about culture and all other things.
There r many who r saying why dont Politicians take Action...Well Politicians r like Vijaykanth who itself r very Naughty Old men...Recently Vijaykanth Enjoyed with Young Beauty Kiran Rathode in FILM Thennavan...by the way I dont also Care Heroines Dressing even without anything coz I njoy Watching this...If dRESS cODES R PUT ON HEROINES THEN Vijaykanth will b Protesting that inside his Mind....

This all boils down to individual freedom and individual responsibility
This actress has a right to wear whatever she wants. That is her individual freedom and no one can deprive her of that. Some of us may not agree with her choice. But we cannot stop her.
There are ways make yourself heard. Stop watching her films, write to her, stop supporting the products that she promotes, etc.
But to force her or to threaten her is harrassment and a crime.
Some are suggesting a "Dress Code". This is the level of insanity on this forum. Every adult has a right to wear whatever he/she pleases. I am a Muslim. My wife chooses to wear a headscarf. These are matters of personal freedom. We should not legislate these issues and force people. How are we any different than the Iranian Mullah ?
Same applies to opinions of writers or artwork of painters. As a Muslim, I do not agree with what Taslima write, but I respect her right to express her opinion. Same thing with MF Hussein. I believe his Nude painting of goddess was in bad taste. But I respect his right to do that. Same think with the cartoons of the Prophet (PBUH). I was offended. But that does not mean that the Danish should be deprived of his right.
We have become so intolerant. Its my way of the highway. No wonder we have so many fights and arguments in our communities over trivial matters
Lets realize something. We do not have to agree with an individual or his work in order to respect HIS/HER right to free speech

How does that matter ?
I am talking about a principle where people are viewed as individual, not based on religion, not based on caste, color or sexual orientation.
Read your response to my comment and think deep if it really adds any value to the topic of discussion.
Then we will blame the politicians that they have the wrong priorities and are wasting time fighting over "NonSense" issues. Are you not doing the same ?
RE:Shreya Dress code
by Arun Kumar on Jan 30, 2008 12:23 AM
Right. It doesn't matter.
But, onto your comments that one is free to choose one's own dressing has to be taken within limits. You'd appreciate that freedom always means within certain constraints - something like 'freedom of speech' doesn't mean one can talk 'whatever' one likes to.
RE:Shreya Dress code
by imran patel on Jan 30, 2008 12:31 AM
Arun, Who decides those "Limits" ?
The Mullahs or the Hindu fanatics may propose something like a Burkha. Will you agree to that ?
Here is what you miss. There can be a DRESS code on private properties. If you are working for a private company, then they can mandate a dress code. It is their property. It is no different than you mandating things at your own home.
But when it comes to public property, you cannot legislate a dress code. If you try to do that, it will be severe on females. There will be different rules for men and woman. It has to be left to the individual to make good decisions.
If we legislate "Dress Codes" then we will have to enforce those rules. The Police will do that ? More corruption and bribery ?
What dress do you choose ? Some prefer Shalwar Khameez, some prefer a Saari. Some prefer a full sleve blouse some with half sleve...some tie the saari above the N@val, some below...There is too much variation to have a standard rule.
We must educate our families, our children and our relatives to make the right choices in life. We should not extend our authority over others.
So what the Iranians or the Saudi or the Taliban did w.r.t. dresscode was correct ?

I am sure there are such idiots in you part of the community as well. statements like these are unwarrented.
