So..the Toronto youth decided to organize a "slutwalk" earlier this year..and indians being true to their disposition decided to tread on the same path...
For those of you who are wondering what the provocative terms stands for- it is a protest march held by men and women wearing revealing clothes to drive home the point that wearing "sexy" clothes cannot be construed as sexual incitation.
Umang sabharwal(the pioneer of the event in india) has 'unknowingly teased a very raw nerve' as the papers reported.true enough the affair is a hotly debated topic but on a personal front i think its a rather bizzare if not ludicurous course of action to protest against the prevailing predicament.
Now,just for the record,iam totally for the issue being addressed,yet i cannot help but wonder how the current stance will serve the purpose!ok...so the march created waves in toronto but hey..this is india!!any state of affair that requires the slightest attention has to draw mass participation from the public (remember the anna hazare and baba ramdev protests...on second thoughts lets try and forget the latter;))
All iam trying to say here is that such issues require participation by people from all walks of life...AND NOT JUST THE YOUTH.protesting through such vexing ways will only help in attracting a large no.of frowns rather than participation or support...and hence the entire purpose behind the rather offensive(pardon my language) event is defeated!
