Dating, Love & Relationships Around The World

The last stand on public kissing in India, seems to have been shoved under one of those fabulous Indian carpets. In March, the Indian Supreme Court, squashed an arrest warrant issued against Hollywood actor Richard Gere for kissing Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty

Gere, tightly clasped Shetty - winner of Britain’s Celebrity Big Brother reality show - and planted kisses on her cheek in front of gaping Indian truck drivers at an awareness event in Rajasthan.

Considering Bollywood is known for it’s sexually suggestive sone and dance routines, this particular incident caused an uproar throught India. Kissing in public is technically illegal in India

A further example of India’s backward views:

• a couple from Israel were fined 500 Indian rupees ($11) for embracing and kissing in a traditional Hindu ceremony. The couple had decided to get married while visiting India
• More than 100 couples were rounded up by police in Bombay and they were taken away in vans, fined up to 1,200 rupees for indulging in “obscene” behaviour and forced to endure the humiliation of calling their parents from behind bars. This from the commercial capital of the country and the home of Bollywood.
• Supporters of the Shiv Sena (Army of Shiva), a nationalist party accused of orchestrating violence against Muslims in the 1993 riots, attacked people celebrating Valentine’s Day

• there is a ban on sex education books in state schools.
