Many of you might think I got something so wrong in National Interest pieces written this year. I might disagree! But some deserve a Mea Culpa. I’d deal with the most recent this week.
I feel the anguish of the author and share it, it is shameful that we have so many representatives who have sexual assault cases on them. I also think that attitudes towards sex in India are very unhealthy. Until we promote healthy discussion around sex, encourage safe sex and sex in general without strict puritan connotations of marriage, we will have a large number of men who find it difficult to reconcile what they readily see on porn sites, or in movies and tv series with the reality of their lives and give in to depravity. As a culture, we outlaw or obstruct young people having sex for the decade of their lives between puberty and marriage. Hell, we even try hard to keep the sexes apart, hoping they will magically learn how to behave with their peers when they are adults. This to me is strange and unnatural. It isn’t the only problem, but it is a part of the problem.
Wonderfully written. Rape will stop only when people understand sexuality for what it is rather than suppressing it or letting it run wild. The concept of human dignity is missing in our culture.
Introspection of daily life choices things we say do allow to……can only lead to understand what author have written….great piece
