I am really happy that Superstars like Mohan Lal-ji are speaking up against draconian laws that stymie our progress. He is the kind of role model our society needs.
It is a great point he is raising. Teenage boys hesitate to sit near 90 year old woman in public transports. I was too, when I went to school. Now, I live in America and sit close to woman of all ages, I even hug my lady friends and colleagues, sometimes in front of their boyfriends or husbands, and nobody mistakes it as perversion.
If we don't even have the minimum right to express our feelings of love and affection even to our loved ones in public, what moral right do we have to point fingers are countries like Pakistan and Saudi Arabia?
And the self-styled moral police in our society cite religion for their cruel acts. Islam had always been conservative and medieval. But Hinduism had always been progressive and broad-minded, both culturally and religiously. But today's Hindu moral polices seem to have no knowledge about what Hinduism actually stands for. All they have to do is look up at our temple towers, where our ancestors have depicted explicit sexual positions to indicate that love and sex are NOT taboo.
As Lal-ji says, if you are uncomfortable, effing move on!

Mr Vilambi is talking his experience in US. My question is what he lost by feeling hesitated to sit near an old woman? Has he not reached US? The point is our culture shuns such public behaviour. Why not leave it? Why to tinker it as in West? Pl tell me what is your aim by kissing on the roads? Don"t you guys get time in your bed room? And u want to pass on million bacterias......

You had a very sad life we get it, please check the walls of khujuraoh they beg to differ with you regarding our culture.

You are the biggest idiot. Dont spell out your fantasies here. In the west people have been kissing in public for decades, and the roads arent yet filled with beds! Your problem is this - you want to have complete control over your daughter's life! And you are scared!

What is wrong with it, what sky will fall if it is done in public. do you really think that the kids believe in the story of the stork. Our culture changed the day cut lets invaded our land, other wise khujurao conveys a different story of tolerance. the cut let go-od takes offense and cant bear to watch the skin hair and beauty he created, but sindu gods had no such issues.
It is a publicity stunt pure and simple. Go ahead kiss any body you like. Kissing children of course is not objected to by anybody. So this is about too adults possibly in love kissing each other which to many people in India is some thing private and intimate not a public affair. But interest parties after publicity find in it a good opportunity. Just let go. IGNORE.

Kissing in public is a publicity stunt. lol. Grow up Mr Old school Dubey. In your time you watch all sorts of movies which is a public event and go to private places and masturbate. thats not what we are talking here. Kissing is personal only to those 2 adults who are indulged in it. If you can't bare that don't look at it. you old school folks, get ready for your grave.

Item girls suggestively gyrating and imran hashemi doing his stuff are all ok, but heaven forbid somebody do it in public, that is a threat to our culture.

Shows your upbringing. Uncouth. I said IGNORE kissing in public not abusing elder in here.
people shift to other states for working. their act should confine to work culture only. they should not force their dirty culture on locals. this will create unnecessary problems to other migrants who are decent.
please do it at your home or atleast in your state, we are state where infants are physically abused then what happens in schools if this rotten thin called kissing in public is allowed?
How many people have you seen kissing in public. Were they kissing on the road or while walking or driving? I guess any kissing takes place in parks and such places which may be public but normally desolate. I haven't seen any kissing in public .. maybe some snuggling in parks..
Some support public kissing, others oppose. Our society is liberal and no doubt about it. One can see now the girls are going to so many careers, changed dresses from Sari to -----, going out of their home town for higher studies, enjoying hostel life etc. Criminal are global so not just blame India, though not acceptable at all. Boys and girls are roaming around hands in hand, public don't object. One fear; allowing public kissing can lead to public smooching or other shameless acts? What about IPC ? Any amendment required by MLAs / MPs ? Or should there be distinct park or place where strictly couples are allowed with lowest charges (for security and maintenance)to show love to each other ?
In the West the men and women say 'I Love You' at least 3 or 4 times a day and still the divorce rate is very high whereas in India no man or women except those high society people say 'I Love You' to each other but the divorce rate is very low. Why we should ape the west? In the west people not only kiss in public but some perverts indulge in sexual activities publicly. Shall we encourage that too? May be we can witness such acts in public places in the near future. The same is actually happening behind bushes, beaches, parks, secluded dark corners, parked cars, etc.

our divorce rates are low because second marriage is a taboo culturally. Not because we don't kiss in public.
