I didn't write a title for this post because I just wasn't sure what title to put. This post is about the recent decision of the Maharashtra Government to ban sex-education from the syllabus.
The very fact that the subject was banned is bad enough but the way the decision was taken makes it even worse. The incident exposes the hooliganism that has taken over Indian politics. Burning books in the Assembly is definitely not a way to protest, is it? It is also, perhaps, the best example of something that I had realized a long time ago. Indian parents shirk from responsibility. It happened when many TV channels were taken off air for showing content deemed inappropriate for children. It is the parents who should be responsible for what their wards watch and not the TV channel. Here, children are denied knowledge of sex just because the adults are to shy. What else should you expect other than a rise in sexual crimes? Adults are perverts and they expect their children to be the same. If they get knowledge about the way their body functions they would be disillusioned about a whole lot of things. It would destroy many prejudices on which this current social structure is based.
I usually try to avoid such a direct assault in my posts but this incident has really made me blow my lid. I wonder do these people want. Do they want the next generation to die of AIDS...?
