Moral Policing in Chennai

The moral policing in Chennai continues. After dress code in universities, hotels are being targetted for holding 'obscene' parties. Where are our liberal values?

Aren’t we missing the fact that we in Chennai are being told what we must think and be? Hello! Where goes democracy? Where goes free speech?

Pray, would someone tell me who in this culturally rich Chennai has been offended by the late-night partying and the likes? Would they stand up to be counted?

And while you stand, I’d like to ask you: mister or miss or ms moral police, what has caused you to loose sleep over the partying or whatever it is you find aggrieving?

Who are you to tell me what i should do? Would you listen to what i have to say? Who are you to draw my borders and decide my wardrobe or the authors i read or what i do with my time and money as long as i have in no way infringed on your reasonable liberty? Who are you pray?

And who's given you the right to rule my private space? Is intrusion your culture? Is intolerance your culture? Is hypocrisy your culture? Because it sure isn't Chennai’s as you claim.

if you noticed, i am as much against the moral policing that is going on as yourself. i could not agree with you more, and think that the moral policing happening in chennai is detestable. hence the call for liberal values, which let people live as they want to live.
