Am I the only one to think India is an independent country with no freedom at all? Just like how people overreacted after Aamir Khan’s intolerance comment, there are many more things we Indians should consider relaxing about. Yes, man, there is no big deal now and here are few things India needs to accept.
1. The menstruating woman
The menstruating woman
Menstruation is considered to be taboo in Indian society and even today, there are various rigid traditions followed in the society for a menstruating woman. By the time we are now, people should consider themselves relaxed about talking about menstruation and the problems every woman deal with.
2. Western dress culture
Western dress culture
How to dress is probably one of the questions we are always eager to know about. Well, we live in a democratic country and it depends on a person on how she wants to dress and present herself. We are always under the impression that a number of clothes on a person’s body is equal to the person’s character.
3. Sex
Sex
I think we have grown up with the various concepts and hence talking about sex should be relaxed. Talking about sex is a taboo in India and on the other hand, we are fighting for sex education in school. Is it cool enough?
4. Couples
Couples
When a couple is spotted romancing in a public place, you fear the policemen. Yes, they come there, abuse you to the best and inform your parents about the same. But that’s not enough, these policemen will further force you to get married.
5. Nationalism
Nationalism
Nationalism is a sort of patriotism and it lies in each one of our hearts. But unless and until, it is India vs Pakistan, we forget that we all are Indians rather than Marathi, Bengali, Punjabi, and Tamilians. You can not love your country by being critical to other’s state.
6. Homosexuality
Homosexuality
Most of us have grown with the concept that homosexuality is something against nature and those people are not normal. Homosexuality is a not a disease, in fact, this community is looking for people who can help people to find love in their own gender. Being gay is as natural as being straight and there can be no justification for opposing it.
7. Virginity
virginity
Girl’s virginity is quite a popular issue in Indian society where the charterer of the girl can be judged by the age she lost her virginity. Girl’s virginity, more similar to sex is deeply rooted in Indian society which should be rubbed off quickly.
8. Targeting man in the name of feminism
Targeting man in the name of feminism
We live in a country where a woman is worshipped but still she finds herself unsafe every moment, every time. Although the number of rapes are increasing day by day but it is wrong to declare every man as rapist under the name of feminism.
