The other day I went to a show in Delhi featuring an NRI stand-up comic where the hall of 2000 was overflowing with mainly young men and women. This comic launched into graphic descriptions of all kinds of sexual acts with actions to match and his language was sprinkled liberally with four-letter words, both in Hindi and English. How this act passed our prissy censors is beyond me but I expected some people to walk out as the show, though funny, was just plain vulgar. Nothing of the sort happened. Everyone laughed and cheered for more. It then occurred to me that there is a whole new world of sexuality out there. Look around and you will see changes. Couples locked in embraces on park benches, walking the streets holding hands, extensive coverage about sex in the media even TV soaps incorporating sexual issues into their story lines. Sex is definitely out of the closet in urban India.
Hi, according to me it comes naturally to this very modern urbanized breed to discuss freely on topics like sex. When at one end sex education is becoming an important part of the indian education system, and on another end outrage like in meerut and by shiv sena should be condemned. It should now be accepted as the real truth of a life leading to a new life. And the urban pupils should feel freee to voice their views and feelings so much as its a widely covered topic in the magazines these days. SEX is now not a cliche.
