The Great Indian Moral Police
desigirl | January 17, 2008
What a busy life it must be, to lead the life of the Indian Moral Police? Never a dull moment in their life, putting out moral fires in every corner of the town, saving the innocent public from the amohttp://im.sify.com/entertainment/movies/images/jan2008/sriyafunction200.jpgral denizens that are out to besmirch the Indian Culture and the rest of it. They have barely sat down after the Shilpa Shetty kissy kissy fiasco, only to bounce up over Shriya’s dress (or lack of) sense.
Actress Shriya, who played Rajini’s love interest in his hit film Sivaji, has offended the sensibilities of the moral junta by wearing a ’skimpy outfit’. She has made the conservative heart of Chennai nearly stop by daring to appear in an “off-white dress that rode up her knees while she sat, and a plunging neckline that highlighted her hour glass figure”, that too at a function graced by the Chief Minister Karunanidhi. What a hussy!
Instead of setting an effigy of hers on fire or blowing up a few buses like they normally do, this time they actually resorted to the law! Quelle Surprise! The Hindu Makkal Katchi actually complained to the police that Shriya has offended the Hindu culture and may the long of the arm reach out, grab her and throw her in the slammer? Even more gaspably, the police declined the invitation saying it ain’t part of their job description!!
How can one make these up? Only in India, I tell ya!

chitra | January 18, 2008 | 6:42 pmAll the furore because she sat in front of the the biggest sob of all - the cm. The upholder of tamil culture - spawns children off random women and call them his children’s mom.Whatever!
But the funniest take on this was by the local police. when asked what will you do to this complaint they have apparently responded”we can only watch the video,what else can we do”?You bet ,we are like this wonly!:)
LOL! I say - we can’t help but look at these idiots fondly - well as long as they keep to their cages!!!

scudie | January 19, 2008 | 4:47 pmGood point chitra.. Maybe cm got pissed because he was very much turned on by her, but is too old to do anything abt it,and then decided that the woman has to punished for her crime of being hot.

Holy Crap ! Only in the South. In Mumbai, she
Ol' Mate | February 29, 2008 | 2:23 amHoly Crap ! Only in the South. In Mumbai, she would be considered so pattikaatu.. I say … we are 40 years behind mumbai and 100 years behind the West. Now Mumbai is no diff - there are idiots like Raj Thackeray who annoy the hell out of me.. Creating unnecessary tensions …
Now don’t get me wrong..
I would suck up and take the “patronizing bullshit” over this bloody crap . Actually, its not that bad in the US. If it wasn’t for Immigrants we wouldn’t have the greats of Albert Einstein, Martina Navratilova, Sammy Sosa, Andrew Grove (Intel Founder), Henry Kissinger, Madeleine Albright, Michael J. Fox, Makkal Thalaivar ~ Engal Anbu Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, William Shatner (Forget Startrek and “Beam Us Back, Scotty!”), Carlos Santana, Unga Ooru azhagi Paatima Elizabeth Taylor…
Its funny.. Whites had to fight the British, Blacks had to fight the Whites, Mexicans are fighting against Whites and Black… hmm.. I am not sure where we Asians fit in ?
Bottom line, I love it out here - cause its a great country.
