Moral code when implemented by you is step in right direction when implemented by others its suffocation and discrimination

Even though I am completely aware about your views about India (such extreme as CIA/RAW training 500 Taliban to attack pak nuclear plants) still I am giving it a one last shot.

The moral code is not being implemented on the local people but the foreigners who have an altogether different culture which is in conflict with the local populace. Thus to prevent any untoward accident they are being advised. It is upto them to decide whether to follow it or not and thus cannot be compared to radical Islamists who punish those not following their diktats. It is them who decide what to do.

I feel the games should have been held in some part of India where a large part of population is modern and is well accustomed to western culture and westerns. Maybe some city which has a huge foreign tourism. Goa, Bangalore or some other south Indian cities might have been a better option. Foreigners attract almost zero attention when walking around the streets of Goa, Bangalore or Cochin.

This is not moral policing for god sake.

It is just an non-punishable advisory .And kissing in public - there are enough loonies to harass and stare at them and this wil just avoid the athletes of that discomfort.

Shoes inside rooms - well thats an Indian tradition so that the germs on the shoes are not carried inside the rooms.

And as far as the tissue paper part - I dont believe that the CWG would have mentioned it.

Fortunately for India, it gets to escape the libel of "Islamic oppression" when it enforces a moral code upon its soil.

Indian moral police has just assigned a new job. A brand new project called CWG!
Welcome to India !!

If they want to kiss and hug in public, they are better off in US or Europe. In India it can create whole lot of problems and the last thing you want it any riots or mobs.


I guess better be safe than sorry.

Those rioters would be doing something unlawful and criminal then. It's their problem if they can't deal with a kiss.

India is lawfully mollycoddling law breakers by this moral code.

 

[inddef]

sounds like complete bullshit to me. all they really need to take care of is their physical security. which requires being very careful about who they are dealing with more than anything else.

sadly the country is run by people born in the sixties or eariler so such silly ideas are being put out.

No kissing, follow dress code: CWG to tourists

NEW DELHI: No hugging and kissing, no wearing short clothes and no discussion on religion in India. Public toilets are very few and fil.thy, so carry your own tissues papers and always take your shoes off before entering a house in India.

These lessons on etiquettes and a plethora of travel tips is what the Commonwealth Games Organising committee has put up in its website for the tourists who are planning to travel to India during the Delhi Games from October 3-14.

In its 'travellers zone' section, the OC have given a list of tips on 18 varied topics ranging from Visa to Toilets, besides a separate point on 'some important dos and don'ts'.

"The Western practice of a peck on the cheek as a form of greeting a lady or a grown up girl is JUST NOT DONE when you are in India unless you happen to be in 'Westernized Indian' circles ... If you find the lady is not extending a hand shake, go for the Namastey," reads one of the advisory.

"Be aware that public displays of affection (hugging, kissing) are generally not appreciated. However, it is common to see men showing affection and camaraderie on the roads and in villages throughout the country," it added.

The website also gives tips on a dress code and what one should do if one visits a house in India.

"Modesty in dress is an important aspect of Indian life and, away from beaches, one should respect the local customs. This is especially important when visiting temples and religious sites, where trousers or full-length skirts should be worn and shoulders should be covered and in Sikh temples, your head must also be covered.

"If somebody has invited you home for dinner, carry with you a bottle of wine accompanied by a bouquet of flowers or at least a box of sweets or chocolate bar for the children ... People usually take their shoes off before entering a house and putting feet on the furniture is considered bad manners," it reads.

There are also tips of eating behaviour and what to discuss in public.

"Politics can be freely discussed in India and most people will have an opinion which they will not mind being contradicted, but avoid discussing religion.

"If eating Indian style, with the hands, it is useful to remember that it is considered impolite to use the left hand for eating," it says.

But of all the tips, one that takes the calk is lessons on Indian toilets for the travellers.

"In India, public toilet facilities are few and far between and outside of the hotels and restaurants can be of dubious cleanliness. We recommend taking every opportunity you can to use a clean toilet in hotels and restaurants and that you carry tissues/wet wipes with you," it read.

Also if you thought of driving in the Indian roads, think twice because it is India and traffic congestion here can give you a torrid time.

"For your safety, we suggest that you do not hire transportation from unlicensed or unapproved operators. We can provide you all types of transportation at very reasonable prices. Self-drive cars though available are not recommended as it is not advisable for you to drive on the Indian roads with all the traffic," it read.

Indians are curious by nature, so if you are stared at, please don't mind. It is just curiosity, says another tips.

"Even in the most cosmopolitan of cities in India the chances are that your different appearance might mean that you will be stared at, though this especially happens in the smaller towns and more remote areas. Please do not be offended no harm is meant, it is just curiosity," the advisory adds.

Why is it okay for Indian cinema to promote promiscuity, public affection, small dresses, sex, drugs, alcohol - the whole package but forbidden for the Indian public to actually implement it?

Isn't it a duality? The Indians on TV and the Indians in reality are two different people.

Indian cinema is purely commercial. They produce what sells. No need to drag bollywood here. You're just upset because Pakistan's own film industry is so miserable that Pakistani's are watching bollywood for Entertainment. CWG is not just a commercial event. It is much more than that. Enough bollywood bashing already.

Indian Cinema is still very censored compared to other cinema's. If you have issues with the content blame the director/producers and not the country, for christ's sake.
