Is Moral Policing the new cottage industry?

The moral brigade is on the prowl again. This time around they have aimed their guns at actress Shriya (of the Rajnikanth blockbuster Sivaji-the boss-fame). Apparently, she was dressed in an outfit that outraged the modesty of the "Hindu Culture" and which went "against ALL that the Hindu Culture stood for" during the celebration of 150 days (or more) jubliee celebration of the film Sivaji.
My curiosity piqued, I wondered, what sort of a dress was she wearing that outraged the modesty and disrespected a 5000 year old culture. A culture that survived all kinds of invasion from across the face of the earth and yet managed to stand proud and erect and strong till today was felled by a mere chit of a dress???? What sort of an outfit was Shriya wearing? I quickly turned to the newspaper that carried a picture of Shriya in the said outfit. It was a beautiful, dress with sphagetti straps, with just a shadow of her cleavage showing. Mind you her clevage was not seen at all -much to the disappointment of many of my friends.
Is this the dress that disrespected and "was against the Hindu culture"? The guys from the Moral Brigade need a serious brain transplant. Or better still they need to be transplanted to MARS. C'mon guys, Shirya was wearing more than what she was wearing in the film which ran to packed houses and saw men coming of the theatre drooling over their already wet bibs.
How come the Hindu culture is not affected when Shriya or for that matter some of women prance around, in minimal clothing, shaking their booty and more on a 75 mm screen? How is that these men go to the theatres and clap and drool over the heroines who are so skimpily dressed that sometimes even I, with my so called liberated views, wonder why they are even bothering with that scrap of hanky around their waist?
Above all I have just one clarification: Why is Hindu culture selective in its desire to be outraged? How come it does not get outraged or disrespected when 14 and 15 year old girls are raped? When women are pawed in public? When brides are burt for dowry? When women are killed by demented spouses? When men use women for their own sexual gratification? When acid is thrown to disfigure their faces just because she spurns a man?When women die of starvation? When young girls are married out at 10 and 11 to men old enough to be their grandfathers? When women are forced to sell their bodies to feed the family and keep them from dying of starvation? When women die during childbirth due to lack of proper facilities? When girl babies are killed within a few hours of their birth because they are considered to be a burden?
How come Hindu Culture does not get outraged or livid or disrespected by any of these atrocities but it does when Shriya wears a modest spaghetti strapped outfit?
What is the logic behind that? Tell me.
I am not even going into the history of the Hindu culture to prove to you how eons ago women would walk bare-breasted and the men of that era did not blink twice because they did not see anything wrong with it. I am not even going to try and explain to this moral brigade how, once upon a time, the same Hindu culture bestowed upon women great freedom ranging from choosing their spouses, participation in the political process, economic freedom et al. I am not going to go into any of these things because the moral brigade has no use of such arguments.
So, I shall ask them -what is the logic behind your action? Is it like a weekend hobby for you? Or is it part-time employment? Or do you freelance?
Or is it just that unemployment is so rampant in this country that moral policing has become a new found cottage industry in this country? In that case, I can only hold the government responsible....
PS: Ms.Shriya Reddy, you did look nice in that sphagetti strap dress. Can I have the name of the designer please? Would love to have a similar one in my wardrobe
