Moral policing of opinions in TN meets response

The stink raised in Tamil Nadu by several political parties against actor Khushboo when she expressed her opinion supporting the free expression of female sexuality has been challenged by a website - http://www.karuthu.com/ The founders have called for a movement to respect the right to free speech. Meanwhile, the extent to which the cultural police has gone is shameful for a democratic country. The saddest part of the story is that the protest is being spearheaded by parties who have apparently inherited the legacy of the dravida movement, which was founded on rationality.
