I haven't come across that till just now! :shocked:Dear Amala,
How about Thelungu?
Some of the postings in this thread is sad commentary on Indian Male.
If some one not associated with India was to read it, they will assume Indians are a lecherous bunch. I think Indians in majority are not like that.
Secondly the mark of "culture" is not to act on all impulses. If we act on all impulses like Mr. Sarang implies (by talking about mannequin), then are all Indian Men, Animals. As cultured human we must restrain ourselves, and that is the point others are making.
So either all Indian men are animals and women must always be on guard, or Indian men are civilized and would respect women's right to dress how ever they please.
Morality is the differentiation of intentions, decisions, and actions between those that are "good" (or right) and those that are "bad" (or wrong). The philosophy of morality is ethics. A moral code is a system of morality (according to a particular philosophy, religion, culture, etc.) and a moral is any one practice or teaching within a moral code. Morality may also be specifically synonymous with "goodness" or "rightness." Immorality is the active opposition to morality (i.e. opposition to that which is good or right), while amorality is variously defined as an unawareness of, indifference toward, or disbelief in any set of moral standards or principles. An example of a moral code is the Golden Rule which states that, "One should treat others as one would like others to treat oneself."
There are criminal elements in all society all over the world. Ordinary folks men and women need to take precaution to be safe in their surroundings.
I would request all these people who so vehemently give moralizing lectures to women and talk about Indian men.
For information, a compromise may be reached in the maharashtra mannequin-lingerie issue. Dummies facing the street will be clad in respectable clothes, and lingerie clad mannequins will be inside the shop in the lingerie section. Only men accompanying their girl friends/ wives, and boys tagging along with their mothers will get a chance to view.
He might have wanted to. Which is why he protested against the clothing.Wait, I didn't understand what the objection is for a single man to view the lingerie clad mannequin. Will he feel like raping the mannequin?

Taking precautions is right. But contributing support, to the excuses given by rapists (in this case, clothes) is wrong.There are criminal elements in all society all over the world. Ordinary folks men and women need to take precaution to be safe in their surroundings.

Dear Shri Prasad,
If it is necessary, according to your lights, to assume that "all Indian men are animals and women must always be on guard", if that is what is needed for women to get some sense away from their new-found enthusiasm of unlimited freedom. In a sense men are all susceptible to external sexual stimulii especially during the prime of their youth and while some of them may be able to control such sexual arousal, some may not be. It is the latter category which, in my opinion, has the thirst for rape lurking in their mind, and, whenever an opportunity comes before them, they will make use of it.
Even if rapists are condemned to the worst kind of torture and death (in ancient Kerala this was the punishment, I am told) rape cannot be stopped. But that does not mean that women may dress in whatever they want. There are certain rules being followed for a long time in each country in regard to dress and it is only commonsense to adhere to it.
For example, in Kerala any beautiful baby will be petted by both men and women, by kissing it on its cheek/forehead, giving a slight pinch, etc. If in Canada, they feel this may result in child molestation, do people put forward research papers about psychology of child molesters etc., and try to argue that kissing on cheeks etc., should not affect the incidence of child molestation? Each country has its own way of preventing certain crimes. It is only because India is a basket case that any Tom, Dick and Harry feels he/she can preach about what Indians should or should not do.
Sorry sir, no matter how strong your urge you cannot rape unless you have it in you. Unless its in your design. Which is why i asked men here -- will YOU rape? If you cannot, why support excuses given by rapists?In a sense men are all susceptible to external sexual stimulii especially during the prime of their youth and while some of them may be able to control such sexual arousal, some may not be. It is the latter category which, in my opinion, has the thirst for rape lurking in their mind, and, whenever an opportunity comes before them, they will make use of it.
Precisely. A criminal's brain is designed that way, he cannot stop. There is no cure for a blood thirsty tiger. He just needs to be killed.Even if rapists are condemned to the worst kind of torture and death (in ancient Kerala this was the punishment, I am told) rape cannot be stopped.
Oh please, stop blaming it on the clothes.But that does not mean that women may dress in whatever they want. There are certain rules being followed for a long time in each country in regard to dress and it is only commonsense to adhere to it.
Very sorry sir, but you have given a very pathetic example. No one says kissing a baby is molestation.For example, in Kerala any beautiful baby will be petted by both men and women, by kissing it on its cheek/forehead, giving a slight pinch, etc. If in Canada, they feel this may result in child molestation, do people put forward research papers about psychology of child molesters etc., and try to argue that kissing on cheeks etc., should not affect the incidence of child molestation?

Wait, I didn't understand what the objection is for a single man to view the lingerie clad mannequin. Will he feel like raping the mannequin?
Dear Prasad Sir,Yes LOL.
That is the depravity of Indian male today.
And then we talk of Brahmin Gene, and cultured Hindu, Superior Tamil Culture etc. LOL

Dear Prasad Sir,
MOST of the molesters are NOT from the educated group / cultured families. They are just like stray dogs on the road!
It is only because India is a basket case that any Tom, Dick and Harry feels he/she can preach about what Indians should or should not do.
Dear Renu,......... The cultured/educated/high class types are smooth criminals that can even sexually molest a female and then try to brain wash her into believing that he did her a favor or she is the chosen one or he is purifying her...what else do you think the Namboodiris were doing to Nair women is Kerala..they somehow managed to convince that they are shooting holy water into the canals of desire!
Dear Renu,
If they convince the women, it means that the women gives consent!
Dear Renu,.......... So these are the dangerous types that make a wrong appear right!
Dear Renu,[/COLOR]
Indian males are NOT that bad as you think. They only dash on females while rushing through the Qs.
When I was in my late teens, I had a very bad experience at Guruvayoor temple. One [COLOR=#DA7911 !important]fat guy like 'uLundhu
mAvu' - top less - was dashing against me from behind, sending puffs of his hot breath over my shoulders.
I could not tolerate even for a minute and so told him 'choRi patti! Go to the front!' and made him move in
front of me! Till 2008, I did not go to that temple! :fear:
P.S: I remembered only 'choRi patti' which meant 'choRi nAy' and not any more in Malayalam!
Shri Sangom!!!!!!!!!!! You are still responding??!!?? I am amazed at your patience and energy..
Dear Renu,When I wrote convince I meant that the Namboodiris managed to convince the Nair community as a whole.
Not surprising. Should expect this in fact.Just imagine..all these years this never happened but as soon we took foreign workers from India..see what happened?
