By what standard does he have the right to interfere in love due to xenophobia? The same goes for those condemning cheerleaders and the various other examples.<br><br>My point is that expose these people for who and what they are; shouldn't the media play a more proactive role in this? Rather they stroke the fire, what happened to journalistic integrity? I mean, look at the patriotic chest thumping everywhere around you. We remain oblivious to the fact that men with clubs have killed more people than Hitler's gas chambers in Darfur, but we pray for some child who fell into a well due to negligence.

A lot of hindu gods are portrayed with multiple heads when we want to potray the multiple aspects of their characteristics. Like Lord Shiva for example is often depicted with three heads. Pancha Mukha Ganesha (Ganesha with five heads) is very popular in South India. <br><br>JBo: I agree there is double standards involved in every aspect. But I fail to agree that this is just in the Indian society. Every society has its own biases, itsown prejudices and consequently its own hypocrisies and double standards!Never Mind!!http://www.blogger.com/profile/00743537362678602058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-351069863973132986.post-78801009035306628932008-06-03T14:31:00.000-07:002008-06-03T14:31:00.000-07:00Yup,agree there with never mind.Another that comes...Yup,agree there with never mind.Another that comes straight up my head is Agni and is shown as two headed with 7 hands.<br><br>Can google and find more.Lets see.maxinenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-351069863973132986.post-9317458044265068152008-06-03T23:12:00.000-07:002008-06-03T23:12:00.000-07:00@nevermind - u are forgiven for the hijacking...an...@nevermind - u are forgiven for the hijacking...and i agree, every society has its dark and bright shades...just that sometimes we look at the darker side of our coin with more prominence, blog about it and name it "rant"Vibhash Prakash Awasthihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10560503953678264848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-351069863973132986.post-8931821265998733872008-06-03T23:18:00.000-07:002008-06-03T23:18:00.000-07:00Nevermind --> Nowhere does the post mention tha...Nevermind --> Nowhere does the post mention that this is an affliction restricted to the Indian culture/society alone, please don't presume. The problem being while we are only too ready to agree to what ails us -- and are only too willing to point out that "everybody else is too" -- what are we doing about? Our culture as said by many is quite multifaceted, tries to encompass much and delves into almost most concepts conceivable, YET some negatives become the prevalent norm while the positives are lost or forgotten. Why so and who is doing it? If popular practice of certain norms makes them the rule, how come we don't practice the positive things more? <br><br>Vibhash --> other than making immaterial, poor attempts at sarcasm, do you have anything substantial to say?JBhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06940726266857576700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-351069863973132986.post-69794098584378492592008-06-03T23:55:00.000-07:002008-06-03T23:55:00.000-07:00i have...not no enthu to write...btw if u were so ...i have...not no enthu to write...<br>btw if u were so much offended by the comments, why dnt u put a restrictions on the comments which will allow only those to appear which u like?Vibhash Prakash Awasthihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10560503953678264848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-351069863973132986.post-89654502355320804522008-06-04T00:00:00.000-07:002008-06-04T00:00:00.000-07:00Vibhash --> Not offended, much thicker skin tha...Vibhash --> Not offended, much thicker skin that that, but it's a waste of time reading comments that don't add to the discussion or bring in another point of view or reasons for agreeing to those presented.JBhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06940726266857576700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-351069863973132986.post-11587062766593904942008-06-04T00:19:00.000-07:002008-06-04T00:19:00.000-07:001. i cnt see any sarcasm as alleged in my comments...1. i cnt see any sarcasm as alleged in my comments, first was just a mere question and second was what i thought about the negativity.<br>2. look at your tone in your comments and than see the thicker skin<br>3. a lot of times u get comments like "great post" and you politely reply "thanx".
