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.

Making out, grabbing each other and moaning is hella inappropriate in public. But kisses, hugging, holding hands shouldn’t be villanised the way it is.

Iss desh main har unconventional cheez se dikkat hai. After coming back to india, i noticed people staring at me for no reason, then it clicked ki koi reason nahi lagta😭

I was in delhi a few months ago, me and my friend went to lodhi garden. On a bench in the center, surrounded by some trees, a couple was making out 🤣... And guess what, everyone else was watching them and laughing at them... Bro it was so embarrassing lol, yet no one said anything to them 😂

u/Incorporator_69 22h ago

u/whyharsh90 16h ago

i think lodhi garden is like a go-to place for makeout or something coz last time main gya tha ek saal pehle tab bhi 1 couple jo bench hoti hai garden me uspe makeout kar rha and mere dost bhi ek baar gya tha and usne bhi aise hi kuch dekha tha

I have seen it so many times, kissing, grabbing boobs openly in parks, places like carter road.

u/Your78Ranger 23h ago

What does grabbing mean

6

u/SushanthUchiha 23 22h ago

I think he meant groping

3

u/Your78Ranger 22h ago

That wouldn't make sense. Groping is inappropriate wherever the hell you see it.

1

u/SubstantialAct4212 15h ago

Exactly. Even dry humping is something I can’t accept. It’s gross. But other things are okay.

u/caramel_heavn 20h ago

Society agreed collectively that showing affection between adults is a matter between closed doors. Hence the taboo. I mean why do u want to do it in public when u can do it in alone time. Holding hands is allowed BTW.

u/AugustusCaesar00 21 23h ago

See 50 years from now when kisses and hugging becomes normal, you would be seen as a toixc uncle who thinks making out is wrong by the newer generation.

u/shaktkitty 22 1d ago

It is inappropriate yes but people should mind their business tbh why do indians think that just because something is happening infront of you its happening for you to gawk at ?

People do some crazy stuff outside of this country and no one finds it wierd because they don’t even stop to look at it meanwhile people here are looking at you like you ate an elephant for the dumbest reasons.

u/Emperor2408 19h ago

A time will come when people will ask why do oldies (us in future) have problem with people making out or moaning in public. They will argue that they aren't bothering anyone (directly) and that we should mind our own business.
