Things India Should Chill About

Public Display Of Affection

• We Indians have a tendency to keep everything under veil of secrecy

• Most of us were disciplined in a manner that we feel ashamed about expressing our love to people

• How ironic it is that it’s perfectly fine to abuse & broadcast act of violence in daylight like: – out on the roads– in public transport & everywhere else

• But totally unethical & uncultured to hug or kiss someone you love & adore

Inter-Religion Marriages

• It may sound pontifical but we are human beings before we are Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs or Christians

• It does not take similar religion to work out a marriage but compatibility & understanding

• Religious practice & ritual may differ but hearts are the same

• If we develop a mindset like that no religion would oppose concept of love

• Supporting or to engage in an inter-religion marriage does not mean bringing shame to ones religion

Homosexuality• It is unspeakable on something as personal as

sexual orientation & preference being everyone’s business in India

• The so called society has always tried to taught us that homosexuality is against nature & is an unforgivable sin

• Supporting it is a far-fetched dream but at least we can start by behaving normally around them

• It is not a plague & supporting it will not make you gay either

• Contradictory to what most Indians think it is not a “Western Trend”, it is up to us to follow it or not

• We need to start accepting & moreover start respecting it

• Being gay is as natural as being straight & we should not find excuses to oppose it

Career Choices

• Raise hand if you have appeared for engineering or medical entrance exam just because some cousin studied that & is doing great

• In India you must pursue B.Tech or M.B.B.S. first & then decide what to do with your life

• India’s obsession with these degrees is unfathomable, so much that any other profession seems a wrong choice

• With the number doctor or engineer we are still sorted for the next few generations

It’s such a huge subject that it required a continuation…

• Instead of opening more IITs, why can't the HRD ministry get central universities to start long-term courses in vocational fields

• If someone’s dream is to become a carpenter (if you're laughing at this e.g., you are part of bias group) why can't we have colleges in India that offer the best training in such a field?

• While students all over the world get to choose whichever subject they want to pursue, we are still bound by science, arts & commerce streams 

• We really need to start encouraging the new generation to start chasing their dreams

 Live-In Relationships

• Indian society is obsessed with marriage• In fact it's the one thing that unites all the

religions in India • It is really something one 'have to' do? If

you & your partner want to get married – simply great!

• But if you don’t want, this country's laws are heavily biased against you

• A single mother have to declare whether she was raped or not while applying for her child’s passport? Seriously! 

• One can also try finding accommodation if you are open about your live-in relationship

• India need to truly grow up & start respecting a couples choice about wanting to get married or not

How to Dress• In India one’s amount of clothes on his/her,

moreover “her” body is directly proportional to his/her character

• Haven’t we already had enough of others telling us about our life, like:– Career– Sexuality– Relationship, etc.

• Wow! Know they want to suggest us on clothes too!!

• What to wear & what to avoid under the guise of culture & tradition?

• Worse of worse if a girl gets raped, it is blamed on her clothes

• A person has the right to wear what he or she wants - is it really that difficult an idea to grasp?

Artistic Expression• Not everything that everyone writes, sings

about or is shown in films is always well-received

• If someone doesn't like a book, he shouldn't read it; you don't like a film, don't watch it. Simple!

• But in a democratic country you cannot go around calling for bans or burning books

• We have a censor board that blurs out a bra from a film, song or video

• We have "groups" running around calling on for bans

• Every time Sajid Khan releases a film, it offends me but I can't go around asking for it to be banned, Can I?

Culture

• Culture one word that frightens youths • Old people tell young people how to lead

their lives so that one day these young people turn into similar old people & the loop continues

• Celebrating culture is acceptable as long as one is not using it to:– a) display dominance against someone who is

different – b) blame a victim of gender violence– c) justify criminal acts like rape & honor killing

• These are things that turn "culture" into a negative word

• On the brighter side more negative it gets, easier it will motivate people to fight on regressive side

India doesn’t needs to develop it really needs to

“Grow Up”
