>>So let's be sensitive to people's cultural differences. We can't >>impose Western values on everyone and call those global standards!
Where are these 'offended' and sensitive Indians when Shilpa Shetty does her vulgar 'jhatkas' and hip thrusts in the B-grade Bollywood films she is famous for. Probably fantasising in the back row! Before this hungama, there was the Mumbai police arresting young couples in Bandra for so called 'public indecency'. This is the same police force that has an extraordinarily high prevalence rate of HIV due to the amount of time they spend sleeping with prostitutes. India has the highest number of commercial sex workers in the whole world, even though prostitution is illegal. Applying simple demand/supply logic, it is quite easy to see through the 'Indian' culture that these morons are trying to portray. Loot the country, destroy the environment, visit prostitutes, rape women, commit female foeticide, keep caste divides alive but no PDA's or falling in love please! It's against our culture. Soli Sorabjee is right, we are becoming the laughing stock of the world.
