There are limits to what can be done in public.You may feel like expressing affection,but for the person watching, it's a personal gesture that makes you feel uneasy.Where we are even never comfortable at home ,how can we comfortable with some one doing that in public.So in all cases public display of love and affection should be avoided.While the young seems to have a broader perspective of what's allowed in public,the older generation seems to prefer to keep its amour private.Lets debate this itopic in length

The debate has nothing to do with justification. The issue is about respecting and watching the local norms and culture. First, I have to make it clear that I am NOT supporting heavy affectionate acts in public. However, it is acceptable to show light signs of affection (kissing and hugging) in public. I have been residing in the USA and Europe for a long period of time. So, I am sorry if I am presenting somehow a liberal opinion.

We are moving forward, so expressing love in public is no harm but we should have self respect to ownself, respect to whom we are  expressing our love and primarily we should respect our domain, our culture.

in my view it is nothing to do with justification, where we live we must respect their culture.

There is no harm is showing expression of love in public, unless u r not undressing yourself which is making uncomfortable for public. Kissing and hugging is very common. Lets take an example of Goa beaches you can see people topless, what abt that. 

Its ok, why to worry, they are not harming you. Be a bit more open minded. I don't think there is any think in this to debate abt it.Kissing and hugging is equal to shaking hands with someone in public. when u can hold hand of your spouse in public why can't u hug them or kiss them and infact court has declared that there is no harm in it.

Lets grow up.

According to me PDA - public display of affection should be more uncomfortable to the displayers rather than the watchers, when talking in the Indian context. We the watchers don't shy away or become uncomfortable while watching an affectionate couple instead we keep on watching and pass on a candid smile. And once that is done we keep on looking at the couple time & again to make them feel more concious about what they have done. 

If you ask me from the displayers point of view then there are sometimes when noone is able to control some very natural urges of your body. You feel like hugging or caressing your partner immediately to maintain a flow of your emotions. Nothing else. But some couples are there wherein things happen artificially. PDA is just meant for showoff. Thats when the things get hotter on both sides.

I would love to know the outcome of a debate between the older generation vs the younger generation on this topic. However after reading the article "Kissing in public is legal in India"-Court dismisses charges against couple, I can imagine the reaction in some sections since Indian moral and cultural values are respected all round the world.  India was unique in every aspect of life... now, it appears that there is not much difference with the west and this would hurt the Indian reputation.
As a person from the western part of the world who still follow the indian culture to an extent...expression of love in public is very common to me….not that I appreciate it..but no longer pay attention to these things. However, my advice will be that true Indians should stick to their cultural values.
