Hypocrisy is a word one can apply to the actions of certain people. In the north, there are fanatic Hindu organisations like BJP and Shiv Sena.
Day before yesterday, there was a music program in Delhi to raise awareness of Aids. There were 4000 truck drivers who attended the program. The chief guests were Hollywood actor Richard Gere and actress Shilpa Shetty.
Gere is on a world worldwide tour to raise awareness of Aids and he has visited India several times in this connection. In one of these programs, Radhika and Kamal Hassan have also participated.
During the Delhi show, Gere got a bit carried away and he hugged Shilpa Shetty and kissed her. Such happenings are common abroad and Shilpa is also used to it. Those who attended the program also did not make much of it.
But out extremist organisations who deem this against Hindu culture, started to protest by tearing up posters and burning effigies. They demanded that Shilpa and Gere have to apologise to remove this slur on Hindu culture.
It does not look like Shilpa has paid any heed to something ordinary like a kiss. Richard Gere has requested that arrangements be made to help him leave India with pleasant memories.
When the kisser and kissed are cool about it, why are others bothered?
