Little else may bring out moments of collective hypocrisy-hysteria like our attitudes to matters of the powerful and the sexual. In other current words, politicians or porn. Are parts of this nation being remarkably consistent in the hysteria and the hype?
India banned the most recent adapatation of Stieg Larsson's The Girl with the Dragon tattoo, a film for its adult scenes of rape and torture. Now it is also keen to go ahead in the latest porngate and ban cameras of private channels inside the Soudha or State Assembly. So shooting the messenger, what in this case has arguably not come across as an irresponsible media moment ?With what rationale? So the MLAs should not feel watched while at work ? Who will catch the shirk? The state's own cameras? A case of cracking down on the cameras and the extracurricular passions of members representing the people of Karnataka ? What do you think?And this may have opened the vault of political hypocrisy but was this the worst pornographic sex on the sly type scandal in India? See this next video and decide. And in the video after that Prasoon Joshi probably hits the nail on the head about audiences while actually talking about Indian cinema here.He says what Indians are is very very confused.
