Watched the epi finally...my timings are totally off ...so the late reply...
Thank you all for your responses and for the warm welcome (@Senpoo, nneeiill, mehr, u got to tell me ur names... I 'm Ishani 😊)...although I'm not very regular.
I agree with all of you..as what you have said is correct...nobody wants to talk abt it...period. But what I wanted to know was pretty much answered by today's episode...as I said...it is indeed not a very big deal if asked thru a secret ballot (how many will respond is a different issue in reality as people find hundreds of reasons for not responding no matter what the question is, but then that is how national stats are collected on such sensitive issues...anonimity is the key in such cases) ...and that's what they have shown... this is a drama ...so we got such a good turnout
I am so glad they cut short the drama to give way to the beautiful episode..and I so so loved it...only thing is...SPACE mein itne students the...never came to know in these many months 😆...but ...for the sake of drama...chalta hai...and...Soha is obviously a clinical case...dream seq was not really needed...but Manik-Nandini is pure bliss these days...bottomline is they hv impressed me a lot today...so no complaints..
on a side note..abt surveys...completely agree...huge effort required to get a decent number of responses...but I was not really thinking of reponses here...I was more thinking of the attitude upon being asked such a question with a gurantee of anonimity...
I doubt if people will be offended to such an extent as to start abusing the ones holding such a poll ...that seemed to be a little OTT acc to me...in reality if people find a question offensive mostly they will probably just ignore...but then drama was needed here I guess😛
Love
Ishani😊

Sorry for interrupting. Just answering why the reaction, its not the secret ballot that upset the guys who abused. Its more about moral policing and upholding the culture, its the mentality that Navya by having sex and then Nandini by wanting to talk about it is going against the whole "Indian culture" and that any idea of premarital sex is not only offensive to Indian culture but a "Western" corruption of Indian society. We even had a post here that pretty much said the same thing the guy said today quoting " Indian culture" and "Western culture" This track is manifold in the messages it wanted to send
1. Premarital sex happens in India, no matter how we want to act like it doesn't
2. Its not in any of us to judge whether its right or wrong, because we don't know the circumstances or environment in which it happened
3. Sex education is a must, its all one thing to pretend premarital sex does not happen, but by educating the youth about the pitfalls, atleast we can prevent teen pregnancy and STD's. The youth can make informed decisions without having to hear a morality lecture
4. Hypocrisy is abundant in our society. While a lot of people are willing to watch and read in private, they don't want to discuss sex in public, when it can actually help young people make the right choice in life. By not talking about it, its not going to stop people from doing it, might as well give them the education that makes them realise what can be the consequences if you are not smart.
Sorry for the long post 😆
