Really?? by bionicscribe http://kaaliyakapoor.wordpress.com/2009/03/13/impossible-really/#comment-27 bionicscribe Tue, 07 Apr 2009 10:51:04 +0000 http://kaaliyakapoor.wordpress.com/?p=45#comment-27 Well, i guess in India, no matter which caste or community or region you originate from, right from the time you are born the fear of God is drilled into you. and everything you do is directly connected to this funda. If you drink and smoke then you face hell; you face failure in everything you do in life; you r adding up your bad karma. Samething as far as sex is concerned. So even when you enter your teens or reach adulthood these upbringing taints/dictates everthing you do; maybe at a subconscious level. Sleeping around might be one area where it's more difficult for the Indian youth to follow the abstinence rule. Where upbringing takes a backseat most often. But if there are many around who don't, i think it's probably the lack of opportunity rather than anything else. Here what society thinks abt us matters to us and dictates our decisions quite often. The fact that things are slightly different in the larger metros kinda proves this point.

I cant imagine a 22 year old european woman not taking these things for granted as a normal part of her adult life... Most Indian kids say they obey because Indians respect their parents always...you cant argue with them and tell them that self-imposed guidelines are a sign of maturity and adulthood....

I think we will have to stop the acceptance of substandard conditions and try to improve things. The problem with that is there is too much finger pointing, we blame the police, the police blame politicians etc. I agree.

If that is the case, and a large number of parents in the US are increasingly convinced(for religious reasons or whatever) that abstinence is the way to go. Will they also start following our model in times to come? Which is what my doubt is.
