There are quite many arguments about sex and premarital sex going on here. Before saying anything I guess I'll have to put my own belief on the table.
Do I personally believe in having it before marriage? No.
But does my belief have the right to dictate the rest of the people? No.
Does my personal belief, in any way; has the right to influence theirs? No.
Do I've the right to judge others on the basis of my beliefs? No.
Do others have the right to judge me on my person belief, one, that in no way harms anyone? No.
Do I've the right to show prejudice against them? No.
Do I've the right to categorize them? No.
The reason our societies are in such a mess is because sex is treated as such a taboo. You can't even say the word on the dinner table or in the lounge. It's forbidden to talk about it. Mothers horrify her daughters about it, fathers terrify in the most indirect of ways. Society frowns upon people who participate in it.
And what does that do? It's an emotional abuse, a mental torture for the victims' of society. Sex is something that does not happen on public vote. It is an individual's decision. If you're an adult then you've the right to decide your life's course. If you're an independent adult, and, you're counted as an adult then having sex is the choice, they should know, you're very well mature enough to make.
Whatever your choice, it's yours.
And with the example of Navya they're showing, that if wrongly assumed, you also bear the consequences of your choices. Those are the risks you're agreeing to take when you make the choice. But that choice will always be yours to make.We all risk something when we make a choice.
Nobody has the right to punish us for the choices we make. Like nobody has the right to tell us whom to vote.
Or when to marry, or whom to marry.
Or when to do a job.
Or when to believe in yourself.
Or what dreams to have.
Or what desires to pursue.
Your choices and your beliefs cannot make me or break me. They've no right to mark me.
Mine will do that for me. They'll teach me and they'll mend me, they'll elevate me or they'll hurt me. They'll give me life long lessons or they'll break me but it will be my choice. Not the society's.
I'm so glad the issue is raised in the show.
Let's see again. They're not debating premarital sex, they're simply asking why this hypocrisy? why so much inequality? Why, on the basis of some rigid set of controls, do we stop treating humans as humans? Why this prejudice and for what? Because they made a choice? Why do we assume that we can destroy their life because to us they've not followed what we deem our moral code. Why should Navya leave the college because she chose to be in a physical relationship? Why only Navya if there are so many students doing the same thing? Why instead of helping our people when they suffer the consequences of wrong choices do we assume the positions of Gods and give verdict after verdict on their existence and morality? Why instead of spreading love and helping them out do we spread hatred and disgust?
Why do we not think, that tomorrow, it could be one of us.
With one of these choices to make.
Tomorrow this same society could turn their back on us.
Tomorrow we could be humiliated and abandoned and thrown out because we made a choice.
Because we made a choice to love and to have and to nurture and to give and to be who we are.
Why take somebody's choice of living? Why take what makes them them?
Why Navya only?
Why Navya even if noone's doing it?
Why?
