Defence seems to be offence these days.
It is said offence is best defence. In the present day India, however, it has become fashion to trample mercilessly the feelings of large section of society. It has become fashion to mock the age old traditions, values and culture which are essence of feelings of the people of our country. The manner in which the common people are mocked is so humiliating that they feel hurt. If someone who is sympathetic to such common and innocuous people come forward and raise objection to humiliating practice such person is also mocked. The approach of such person is termed as retrograde. A term moral policing is also used for an act of such person.
I was a student of science. I don't jump to any conclusion abruptly. My approach to understand any tradition, practice, rituals which have survived till now is altogether scientific. For instance, in our country, almost all which exist in nature is worshipped. Trees, rivers, mountain, herbs, water, clouds, sun, moon, rat, snake, cow, bulls and so many things are worshipped. Those who worship these manifestations of the nature can't when asked attribute any scientific reason to practice of worshipping. They treat these things as gods and deities. Because they treat these things gods and deities, they should me mocked by terming their beliefs as blind. Rather than derisively pass judgement on such beliefs all of use should explore scientific reasons behind such practices. In the process we would observe that there are a number of practices which have lost relevance.
These practices can be rooted out gradually by way of imparting proper education and not by way of mocking such people. Please check the film makers, artists, TV Channels, Advertising Agencies to shun from projecting obscenities rather than calling sensitive people as moral police. Otherwise, it would be nearly impossible to check crime merely by implementing laws.
