Moral Policing

DEGREE: MoMP{Master of Moral Policing}

QUALIFICATION: Extreme psychological conditions.

India was known for its tolerance. Gone are the good old days. Today we have IAS.IPS officers ,closely following them are these officers called MORAL POLICERS. Not appointed by the central government these self appointed officers are there to protect our culture{protect or abuse?} for those of you who are fairly new to this term, moral policing is nothing but taking the law into your hands for the purpose of protecting our so called culture .They are regulators of our moral behaviour. Who gave them the right is a question we should ask loudly and clearly. These so called regulators are “culture maniacs” for precisely three reasons…

1) They are absolutely not sure what they want.

2) They really don’t know how they are going to achieve what they want.

3) But they do know they are going to save our culture{HOW??}

These moral policers are making a mockery of our culture. We have seen numerous instances of their services to this society. If you think M.F.Hussain needs to be punished for his paintings. what do you do? Resort to violence?. Only a disturbed mind would call violence an answer to most questions. If we belong to a civilized society we should probably go for a legal alternative or even better just ignore the situation. Ignoring is an option arrived after deep contemplation. Simply because if we are strong believers of what we believe in, then nothing could shake our belief even if it is the paintings of Hussain or writings of Salman Rushdie. As for other situations regarding moral policing like protesting against Valentine’s day and so on and so forth , its upto the judiciary which should not entertain any of the mindless cases filed by moral policers. It only adds on to the backlog of already pending cases.

The world is an ever changing place. We are going to see rebellious revolutions, be it culture, education or lifestyle. We have very few choices, the more we protest the more rebellious events turn. As for the moral policers people will keep pushing the limits of their thinking. We either find an astute way out or stop acting like maniacs. As already put forth IGNORING IS A BLISS.
