Debates Over Public Youth ‘Kissing Scene’

In the age of the internet, it is very easy to make anything go viral. From a public kissing scene to a girl using a hair straightener in the metro, everything is reaching the masses. One incident in Delhi Metro again grabbed the public attention.

A Twitter user posted a video regarding a couple getting intimate in the metro. Now he tagged a bunch of officials to look into it and considered it a threat to public safety and culture.

As with most internet issues, this also divided the users into two classes, one was rooting for love and the other class was the protector of the culture.

The first group of people are rooting for love. They don’t think it should be anyone’s concern if a couple kiss or show public affection. There are more serious issues to deal with and focusing on that will make things better. This group of people questioned the existence of morality in the case of the Sakshi and Nirbhaya.

On the other hand, several users have shown concern regarding the issue, also took a moral policing approach. They pointed out that this event may threaten our culture and public affection is against our religion and morality.
