You-all believe that "Opinion poll"????Quote:
An opinion poll was conducted by Outlook and published by India Today and Outlook about sex outside marraige which showed that most are not so righteous in India as they claim to be. Kushbu was responding to a query by India Today on this opinion poll.
India today came up with an opinion of poll of "high class" people or "kushboo class". I even remember the article, "maaRivrum Indian women's sex awareness or of that sort" I remember reading a similar article about 10-15 years ago from the same India today. Trust me, It was nothing but BS!
You believe that opinion poll conducted on this kind of issue??? How many women will go talk about sex to some strangers ???
They dont know anything about the reality. Kushboo should have been taught the "right scenario" by C Sundar. May be, he does not know the reality either! I still believe she was ignorant!
Whether the opinion poll was baised or not the fact remains that Kushboo was out of line speaking about such a sensitive issue publicly in the manner she spoke.She should have had more forethought than that..should have realised how the issue would snowball since she is such a public fig.She is ofcourse entitled to her opinion and what she said was not necessarily bad or wrong..just the way she put it is came out crass I think.

If the poll taker ever went to rural areas and asked those questions, he/she probably won't return home alive.
Even some Indians living in the US do not allow their daughters to date. You can imagine how it is in Madras, a conservative metropolis.
India is changing. I see that everytime I visit India. But, not that fast! :)
You made your point clearly and beautifully, raj! :thumbsup:Quote:

Instead of taking Kushboo apart for a statement which, as Sandeep and A.Ratchasi have both pointed out, was based on the results of a well-publicised poll, people with common sense should have condemmned Thirumavalavan's immature vindictiveness. That was the only point I was trying to make. The wrong tree is being barked at!Quote:

Interesting article by Sudhish Kamath in the Hindu!

Why we Tamilians are so hypercritic and not even tolerate or allowing an actress to tell her opinion? She is not saying that pre-martial sex is the most correct one than maintaining virginity. Even if she had said some thing opposite to our current so-called social values, it is her views and she has full right to express it.
As Badri rightly put it, if we consider the virginity as the status of purity of mind, then most of people from our society may not have the right to throw the stones. When we compare the crime against women (in the form of eve teasing, sexual harassment, illegal/forced prostitution, unaccounted abortion, dowry deaths, female fetus aborting, killing of female babies) and sexually distributed AIDS cases, we Indians may beat many European countries, where pre-martial sex is not a big issue. For example, I would like to quote the latest study by a social scientist Gregory Paul ( http://www.abc.net.au/worldtoday/con...5/s1470370.htm ) based on the data from the International Social Survey Program, Gallup and other research bodies, in which he concludes that more open society like France, Japan and the Scandinavian countries are most successful in reducing murder rates, early mortality, sexually transmitted diseases and abortion. aS i WROTE BEFORE, another best example is about the matriarchal tribal society of China called Mosuo ( http://my.execpc.com/~wmvoice/paper/momnews.htm ), where virginity is not the baseline for a healthier family and crime free society.
Among Tamils (even among their Gods), the virginity is the term only related to women. It very clearly indicates that this is invention of male dominated society with the aim to ensure very own offspring, just like all other animals. “Peyyne peyyum mazai” “Kallanum Kanavan pullannulam purusan” sort of proverbs only indicates how women are brainwashed to believe the golden cage as a beautiful place to live.
Our present day marriage system is losing its value. The “Agananutru Kaadal”, where love is the whole hearted reason to devout ones life and body for his/her lover, is nearly vansihing. What we have is the remains of a marriage system, which is primarily based on the financial and social status of brides and grooms, fixed through the many matrimonial columns. The current difficulties to attain such social and financial status takes away the great youth hood where hormonal activities are very active. Hence I feel it is unnatural to expect highest quality of personal integrity for such financial deal called “marriage”.
I am not supporting perverted society or animalistic way of living or a society where sex is considered as object to sell. What I support is a very open society where the individuals have the chance to live as per their wish (without hurting other’s feelings or harming others physically or emotionally just to satisfy individual happiness), not forced or feared to live as per the opinion of prejudiced views of society. I feel the basic aim of sex is keeping progeny not just pleasure. If two individuals are matured enough to understand and accept the outcome (bringing up the children as long as they are physically and mentally dependent) of such act, then they have the full right to act as per their own interests.
Can anyone, those who oppose her views, explain how her views affect the society?
