JoeGoaUk, Is that couple "married"? :-) And who said kissing is "banned" in public places?
More seriously: "obsenity" laws in India are vague and can be applied to any situation. Don't forget these are a legacy of our (still continuing) Victorian days too. You might have not come across this court ruling: http://www.india.com/news/india/kissing_public_legal_india_2870 OPENQUOTE Shaswat Kumar, who is a copywriter in a Mumbai, based Ad agency strongly opposes, “I don’t know why people have such double standards. This is the land of Kamasutra and come to think of it we have severe objections to public displays of affection like kissing!” Whereas Sharan, a Bangalore based student has another valid point. “If you think kissing in public places in India is an offence then why not pissing? I think pissing is far more disgusting!” he retorts. Mohit Shankar, who is an RSS activist from Patna, however, strongly differs, Kissing in public is something against Indian culture and why do married people need to do it in public? They can do whatever they like inside closed doors. Who is stopping them? Please don’t dilute our civilized culture and tradition for God’s sake!” http://www.suite101.com/content/why-do-married-people-need-to-kiss-in-public-a95420 CLOSEQUOTE This could be the stuff which could trigger a "heated" Goanet debate to last a week of Sundays. Isn't the "patalleo" season over :-) FN Frederick Noronha :: +91-9822122436 :: +91-832-2409490 On 26 September 2010 10:54, JoeGoaUk <[email protected]> wrote: > Talking Photos: Kissing banned in public places? > Who said ‘Kissing’ is banned in Public Places? > Perhaps, it’s the 'snogging' that is banned > http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk31/5023066578/sizes/l/ > http://www.flickr.com/photos/joegoauk31/5023066966/sizes/l/ > ..in my case, kisses never solve my problems, it only starts them
