If someone tells her, just ignore and move on. Not telling that the auto driver is right. But why do u even care? You put on whatever you like. Ur wish.
that is illogical.
if ten people arrange themselves in a area to "politely" advise ladies on dressing and this happens every day the area will become a oppressive environment.
these "polite advisers" to make themselves more legitimate can declare themselves under the banner of some religious or "cultural" organization or the "youth circles" that are present in certain parts of south india ( bangalore is in the south ).
this is how groups like 'ram sena' or the tableeghi mullahs in mangalore have been able to create a oppressive "moral policing" environment or why bangalore's formerly cosmopolitan muslim population ( 15 to 20 years ago ) now looks no different from taliban rule environment.
i am not saying i like females to be clothed flashily and talk in rude and arrogant manner ( including pretend-americanisms like "gross", "a*sehole" ) and their entire personality screaming "fake" - i myself want to kick the faces of such females, but this lady's case wasn't that.
KK is wrong. And he is nothing but another street dog who will piss in the open in front of any women flashing his private parts.
why are you propagating a lie??
kanhaiya did not flash to any lady... he was supposedly urinating in a public place in the campus and a then female student ( she's now a teacher in delhi university ) confronted him ... if he was doing the public urinating then he was wrong but one must realize that this female teacher is now a bullet in the armory of the sangh in their anti-jnu campaign.
auto driver should have kept his mouth shut in the first place.instead of telling her to ignore her surroundings.teach those men who shares the auto drivers mentality to keep their stone age thoughts to them self instead of poking in someone else's life.
this is actually the result of haphazard urban development in india where appearance of a city arrives but not a city mentality... this is common all over india where the new industry of it/services suddenly created enough money to put city-like infrastructure hither-thither either in small towns or created new cities ( gurgaon and noida ) or brought in emigrant populations to older cities but who carried reactionary values... one result example was the december 2012 delhi gang-rape/torture case ( amaanat or real name jyoti singh ).
such mentalities exist because india's political system does not concentrate on turning indian citizens into progressive thinkers... much of the background india remains in the pre-1947 era.
Or may be she should have shouted "Bharath Ki Barbadee" and the usual suspects who support Kanhayya & co would back her as well.
NEWS FLASH : people have opinions. the auto driver has an opinion. As long as he did not abuse the girl in anyway, he is entitled to his opinion. Or, did we suddenly become a country where freedom of speech is now curbed?
Or may be few people want to be able to abuse India and Bharath, which is ok as per these "intellectuals" but an opinion, god forbid is not on.
Carry on with the obvious double standards though...
this report is about intrusion into a lady's reasonable freedom to wear the summer frock she wants and you are going on and on with your nationalist sentiment.
it is strange that you are supporting this auto driver's wrong and reactionary "advise" but you are among the ones who much earlier verbally and physically lynched kanhaiya kumar for calling for freedom from hunger, capitalism, feudalism and brahminism.
forget about bharat and all, concentrate on saving the daily suiciding people within india and the daily hungry india and the daily homeless people.
no need to create this drama here. That taxi driver is right. Its because of these things in yr films n TV that yr country is turning into a rape capital of world. On one hand women watch them and think that they will look beautiful in these type of cloths after getting impressed by heroines wearing them etc. On the hand These type of things that is shown in yr films n tv instigates sexual frustration in masses and a country where female population is lower then men's because of female feticide its very dangerous since those poor men who cant afford marriage easily will turn to the women for rapes etc.
And now because of that u guys r transferring the same rubbish into our country too because they show yr films in our cinemas and as a result r disturbing or social, discipline and civil ethics of our society too.
So its better then making excuses to justify this imbecile, u should think about this problem with an open mind and correct it or yr own good.
you are portraying yourself to be a misogynist, capitalist and a tableegh jamaati or talibani.
firstly, about your reference to marriage, why should a marriage involve money?? shouldn't you being a muslim ( as per your claim ) be proposing a simple and compulsory court marriage system attended by only five people including the court officer?? since you are concerned about poor men not able to afford marriage why are you not recommendation eradication of traditional money-heavy rituals ( marriage attended by 300 guests minimum ) and propagation of the cleanliness of socialism??
tell me this - despite 60+ years of love stories in indian and pakistan cinema why does "honor killing" still exist in both countries in 2016?? was "honor killing" imported from the west?? india and pakistan are "honor killing" capitals of the world, after all, india more so.
and despite these films portraying heroes who battle feudals why does feudalism, capitalism and every kind of socio-economic oppression still exist in both countries?? even certain western countries have a welfare system that really should have been the system of so-called islamic republic of pakistan... the west really is more islamic than the non-socialist muslim-majority countries.
I think this was the most polite way to communicate his opinion...... Looking at the picture and the message I guess his intention was good, and should not be made an issue........
Last week, i was standing with my colleague near my office, and this guy was smoking....... An elderly lady came to him and started shouting at him...... First we did not understand, and then she pointed at the cigarette and she ensured that he throw the cigarette, I did not feel bad (even if it was me who was smoking)...... I am not equating both, but Equating the intention.....
what is the connection between harmful smoking ( harmful personally and societally ) and some lady wearing a knee-length summer frock?? i too want smoking and drinking totally banned.
in fact, frocks and skirts are mostly not seen in india now whereas they were prevalent until the 90's... the so-called development of india after 1995 ( it/services industry ) has actually made the background conservatism and reactionaryism more widely applied.
@Levina , your coolest pdf member nair.
No. Irrespective what a girl wears of does, it's never the woman's fault when bad things happen to her.
The blame can not be on victims...
BUT in this case, the taxi driver has a right to express his opinion as long as he does it in a nice manner - which in this case he seems to have.
Do I support what the taxi driver said? NO
But I support his right to say it.
that is such a contradictory bunch of lines !!
edit : it's like the letter read out in the film 'border' : chacha ka payr toot gaya hai, baaki sab theeki hai...
