[India]Kissing event’ register protest against ‘moral policing

Thiruvananthapuram: A group of Facebook users has decided to conduct a ‘Kissing event’ in Kochi to register protest against the Yuvamorcha attack on a hotel in Kozhikode last day. The programme is scheduled to be held at Marine drive on 2nd November. The day would also be observed as ‘Kissing day’ and would register protest against ‘moral policing’ with kissing. Organizers of the event have also created a Facebook page ‘Kiss of Love’ to promote the programme. Social media has been witnessing heavy protest over the Yuvamorcha attack on ‘Down Town’ hotel alleging prostitution.

Here is the actual report from the channel who released the footage containing private moments of lovers in a restaurant which led to attack by moral police towards restaurant.This led to the kissing protest.Please excuse the language.

Its not random people.Couples can kiss each other.Others(4everalone s) will get hugs

There is a difference between kissing on cheeks(most likely to happen) & french kissing.

Come on dude. I can see that image no probs. But there's something which comes under "NSFW" category. I think you will only understand once you start doing a job.
And FFS, it looks as if the man is raping the women. That is not entertaining in any way to say the least.

They could've chosen a better way to protest against moral policing. Kissing in public is illegal in India, and you gotta respect the law. Maybe if they hadn't mentioned that they'd kiss in public they wouldn't have faced this police clampdown.

There are better ways to protest than to indulge in illegal activities. But this doesn't condone the behavior of the yuvamorcha goons who attacked the people and vandalized the hotel. They acted like hooligans and should be arrested. Not sure if they have been.

Yes, the laws against public displays of affection are archaic, but you don't protest against those laws by breaking those laws. That's anarchy.

Kissing is not illegal per se in India but police can book you under section 294 which says that “whoever, to the annoyance of other… does any obscene act in any public place” shall be punished with imprisonment extending up to three years or with a fine or both so it means if others are not annoyed by your kissing(almost impossible in average indian public place) then it is not applicable.However even if a couple is booked court can still provide relief as it was seen in case of a married couple by delhi High Court:
The Telegraph - Calcutta (Kolkata) | Opinion | Who’s afraid of kissing?

In his interim order, Justice S. Muralidhar observed, “It is inconceivable how... the expression of love by a young married couple would attract the offence of obscenity and trigger the coercive process of law.”

The Indian constitution allows you to have multiple spouses if your existing spouse has no objection. Then why these guys have problem?

While I don't condone a55h0le moral policing idiots, I don't' support kiss of love supporters either.

Many of you used the phrase "Mind your own business" and I would like to tell the same to public kissing people as well. While I am in public I have the right to not be in a awkward environment with people kissing around me. They should mind their own business, by doing in private, and not create awkward situations in public. By doing it in public, they make it public, and hence everybody else's business.

Kissing is an intimate act that should be kept private and not shown off to rest of the society, which public kissers do, intentionally or otherwise. Their actions seem more like a teenager's stupid acts to aggravate his/her parents, just for the sake of it.
I guess they don't know much about discretion.

Its not meant to make kissing in public, "legal" or anything like that,nobody will prefer that way.Its a way of protest ,absurd ,but if two people/couples kiss each other, who are them to stop?
And protesting involves breaking laws.

If people can kiss in the public can the also have $ex? It's intimate, shows love and act of nature, also it's our own business.

Kissing is very different from that.Kiss as a form of greeting is very common in some countries for decades now.Now-a-days future monarch of England kisses her wife on a balcony in front of a crowd of thousands & millions of tv viewers & here we are arresting couples for kissing in a park/restaurant.

In foreign countries lovers kiss each other in public.
So after the kiss,are they having sex in public ? No
Would they be comfortable to have sex in a public place?No
Like I told earlier its just a protest,me too think that its not the right way ,but because of its approach ,it will gain more attention and hopefully Government will do something about moral policing.

I saw what the protesters did in Kolkata, they were not kissing as a greeting, they were literally doing french kissing. A lot of parents felt uncomfortable with that. Protest does not need to go to extremes.

As per foreign countries, try kissing on the streets of Iran, see where that leads you.

Jeez! Don't people have a life or a proper job? Kissing, no kissing, kissing in public, having sex in public, who cares? There should not be a set rule for all these, anyone can do whatever they want!

I for one don't like that exaggeration of kissing of western cultures, why unnecessarily would two persons exchange their saliva is beyond me. Being said that I hate the namaskar **** culture of ours too, bowing down to someone else's feet, good God!

This is the problem right here, everyone thinks their culture is the ultimate one :facepalm:

Kiss - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Vedic texts of ancient India dating ca. 1500 B.C. onwards talk about rubbing noses together.[9] The epic poem Mahabharata mentions mouth-to-mouth kissing.[10] There is a theory that kissing originated in Ancient India and was spread to Greece by Alexander’s conquering armies.[9] Against that theory is the clear mention of deep kissing in Aristophanes’ play The Clouds, which was written ca. 420 BC.

So, kissing may be an Indian culture after all :lol:

In Iran,You dont necessarily need to kiss, to get jailed,try watching a volleyball match with ur female friends !

India is a huge culture hodge-podge. We have incorporated so many cultures over the years that it doesn't even matter anymore.

lol..''foot in both camps'' guy suddenly giving free candies

if you can't digest than leave it ...lol

I'm happy the youth are fighting back. In an India that's thinking of having a global impact, we can't have archaic ways of thinking. The idiocy needs to be stamped out, but will it? Our PM says "Make in India" and then praises Khaps. So who knows what the future holds.

All I know is that the more well read and well travelled (internationally) the Indian, the more he/she hates the way things are done here...

Travel is dangerous to prejudice and bigotry.

CHENNAI: A lot of hugs, many, many kisses on many, many cheeks and a few barely glimpsed, fleeting, now seen-now gone pecks on the lips - that is how IIT-Madras’ students registered their protest against the disturbing trend of moral policing in the country.

In what would have been a striking protest had it been held on the crowded beach of the Marina, or the bustling streets of T Nagar perhaps, 70-odd students gathered in front of the Himalaya Mess on their campus, sang songs, made a few speeches and then got up and hugged, kissed and pecked on record their stand on the issue.

But the ‘Celebrating Love’ event was not a ‘protest’, pointed out organisers. “This is not like the ‘Kiss of Love’ protests. That took place to take a stand against the incident in Kochi. We took this opportunity to express solidarity with the protestors. But, this is about celebrating love,” said Arya Prakash, a member of the Chitabar Independent Student Collective, which organised the event.

It's Just Celebration and Expression of Love, Say IIT-Madras Students - The New Indian Express
