RANT/VENT 😤 Indian society needs a change

Post image

Why is public affection still treated like some kind of crime in India?

Every time my partner and I meet, something as simple as sharing a kiss or hugging each other tightly turns into a mission. Instead of just enjoying the moment, we're constantly looking for a private corner where we won't be judged, stared at, or interrupted.

And even when we finally find a quiet spot, there's always that one random uncle who suddenly appears out of nowhere and decides it's his responsibility to monitor our lives. We're not bothering anyone, we're not hurting anyone, yet somehow our existence becomes everyone's concern.

What's frustrating is that basic affection between two consenting adults is still seen as "inappropriate" by so many people. Meanwhile, staring, moral policing, and invading other people's privacy are somehow considered acceptable.

It's 2026. Maybe it's time we stopped acting like a couple sharing a kiss is a threat to society and started teaching people to mind their own business.

Not every hug is indecent. Not every kiss is obscene. Sometimes two people just miss each other and want to be close for a moment.

That's it. Let people live.

From the states it reminds me of our Christian Nationalist "Incels." They have shit personality and no one wants to spend time with them, so instead they make it their goal to immiserate anyone they see displaying happiness or interpersonal care.

It does break my heart, empathetic as I am, that I cannot just explain to these young people that meanness earns meanness, and kindness earns kindness, and no amount of cruel enjoyment of others' suffering will ever get you as high as you can get from random acts of kindness, and the latter is far, far easier to accomplish, quite frequently if one chooses.
