Janmashtami: A traditional celebration or an exhibition of flesh?






It is visuals like this that that have become the norm for 'traditional celebrations' like Janmashtashtami over the last few years. This year, though, all decency, culture, traditions and moral values have been burnt in the fire of 'entertainment'

We are now a society, who are welcoming porn stars to be chief guests to our traditional celebrations. Yes, traditional celebrations and not fashion shows or casting couch sessions!

We are now a society, where every child very well knows that picture sirf teen cheezo se chalti hain: 'Entertainment, Entertainment, Entertainment' and it is with the promise of this entertainment that event organizers are trying to marry to starkly different visuals and values together.




I'm sorry, but I just don't see the connection!

I mean what the hell is wrong with the guys organizing these events? Do we really need to have celebrities like Sunny Leone to attend these events? Are there no more celebrities who represent our culture and values anymore? Why are we mixing sex and culture when we can mix glamour and culture?

  1. Sex and culture are not mutually exclusive... If anything 3000 years of history emperically proves that erotica went hand in hand with culture in India and played a Highly visible and vital role in society; its sad that people look at the skewed remanants of whats left of Indian culture and consider that at face value...

  2. I do agree that sex and culture are not mutually exclusive, over 3000 years of history do prove that our culture has always been exposed to erotica. My problem is that there is a difference between Erotica and Porn, and it is that difference which is not represented appropriately
