While the organisers for Besharmi Morcha are trying to garner support, deciding a dress code and are gearing up to face the wrath of opposition from various quarters, the trending topic on Twitter, Facebook and office canteens have clearly moved on. Moved on to something more dramatic like the effortless use of *beep* *beep**beep*.
We call it creativity. We call it coming of age and urban adult humour, which is fine. But there seems to be a problem somewhere that borders on tolerance and double standards.
If we have the liberty of enjoying creative cinema and relate to it, why is there such a hue and cry over Slutwalk?
It is merely a protest march against sexual violence. We just want to tell people that it is ludicrous to suggest that a woman invites sexual aggression with her outfit. Why is our tolerance sitting on the edge?
Why do we change our stance according to our convenience? The same people raising their voice over Slutwalk will be the ones enjoying and sharing a joke after watching candid slang comedy.
Definitely there is no harm in that. But why is it that we are yet to finalise a date for the Slutwalk while the snowballing event hasn't even been heard in other cities.
Why can't we raise our voices for the actual causes? A murderer still serves only three years in prison and walks out with her head held high. A rapist is not given death penalty. And a molester arrested but never punished.
The leader of a political party who is up in arms against those who allegedly go against Indian culture has a private screening for himself.
Well, times have changed. We just hope that the humour spreads across and we take charge of what is an issue and what is not.u00a0u00a0
u00a0It's perfectly normal to enjoy a movie laced with slangs and sexual innuendos. It is also fine to be homosexual and organise a Slutwalk.
The point is who takes the call. We have come of age. So leave it to us, please.
