Night out by girls against India culture, says Union Minister

Sat, Sep 19 2015 02:48:44 PM

New Delhi, Sep 19 (Agencies): After making controversial remarks on APJ Abdul Kalam and Indian Muslims, Union culture minister Mahesh Sharma has said night out by girls was against the India culture.

"Girls wanting a night out may be all right elsewhere but it is not part of Indian culture," Sharma told CNN-IBN.

He also said he opposed "westernisation in the name of modernisation." He clarified that he was willing to take all good things of west, but would not follow it blindly.

After his latest remarks triggered a row, Sharma tweeted on Saturday saying his statements had being distorted.

The 54-year-old first time MP from Noida, has made a string of controversial statements in the recent days seeking to uphold Indian culture.

In an interview with India Today, he had said former President APJ Kalam was a "was a nationalist despite being a Muslim.'

Twitterati fumes over Sharma's statement

Union Culture Minister Mahesh Sharma's controversial statement that a night out by girls is 'against Indian culture' has not gone well with the Twitter users.

His comments triggered a strong response and Sharma became a top trend for several hours on Saturday.

My issue with Mahesh Sharma is not why he spoke nonsense as a culture minister. It is - WHY DO WE NEED A CULTURE MINISTER?

Another gem from the culture minister Mahesh Sharma- Indian tradition does not allow girls to have late nights!

I think girls can go night out,if they have permission from their elders and also they have confidence with them whatsoever, since today the life different its fast life, but in between any harm happens should not blame the police or the ministry. Take your own responsibilities. Of course Indian Culture does not allow all western culture to be utilised unless it is worth. Do whatever you want to do India is a Democratic Country, all have freedom of their own, but when wrong happens don't blame the Ruling Parties or the Indian Police Force. Jai Hind Improved Indian Culture, this is for the Parents and Relatives of who wants to follow such culture also.

The quiet victims are girls and women.The victims in the hospital were normally raped by uncles,cousins and family members. This is what happens in India when there is no protection from the loved ones and our foolish government ruled by ignorant people. Of-course people deserve it because they chose the wrong politicians.Next election choose some one with a heart and not with a hollow head.

Let all Hospitals who employee Nurses and lady Doctors for Night duty also may be closed and allow all the patients to die without attending them during night time.
Let all Airports who employee Lady employees & Air Hostesses for night duty may be stopped and Airport be closed during night and all International night flights may be cancelled and our Air India which is already under loss be closed permanently.

India is a democratic country. It means the country is run and ruled as per majority people's wishes.(Do not colour the word 'majority' with religious brush please).
The majority of the people have voted and chosen BJP to form the govt. The elected lawmakers have to function as per the likes and wishes of the people who have voted for them. So we all are obliged to obey the rule of the law and wear dhotis and walk barefooted if that is implemented by the govt.
If Majority of the people like this government, the same party will be re-elected or another party will get majority.

Mr. Shetty: Since you are an educated BJP spokesperson, with due respect I am asking you some simple questions.

Please read the comment under your comment written by Peddu, so I need not have to repeat the same questions.

A few years back, the only Hindu nation in the world was the country of Nepal with her 75% of the Hindu population. Recently, in the parliament, the 1/3 parliamentarians wanted to make Nepal as an Hindu Theocracy, but 2/3 of the parliamentarians opposed to that, but to keep their country as a secular nation.

Do you think that their decision was wise?

In India, 78% Hindus, 14% Muslims, 3% Christians, and less than that percentage of other religions like Sikh-Buddhists-Jains etc.

Exactly, how many percentage of the Hindus have voted for the BJP out of the 78% of the Hindus? May be 35% of the Hindus.

The current underlying trend of the BJP Government to transform India as an Hindu Theocracy through injecting the old culture-food-antiquated traditions etc, is it wise?

Based on the historical feed back, this march of the nation under the BJP Government, the whole nation is now fragmented, and India will be faced with many problems.

Please remember that the whole world is interlocked and interconnected economically if India is shifting backward as an Hindu theocracy, that is highly counterproductive and a totally failing attempt. Not to offend the party and the sister parties, Mr. Modi is somewhat too cautious not to open his mouth to warn his political comrades, but that deliberate silence is not productive.

Do you think that Mr. Modi was elected to transform India as a paradise on earth? But now in reality India has been turned as a spiritual therapy asylum treating with the mega dose of Indian culture-religion-diet-yoga and the rest. The M.P. Chief Minister doesn't like eggs, so eggs were taken out from the diet of the poor children in the breakfast.

Now India is ruled by a bunch totally autocratic and mentally disoriented politicians never seen the world other than their own village or the forest caught up totally in the deity worship of the Prime Minister, thus trying to impose their way of life upon the citizens.

Yes minister! You are absolutely Right!
Girls night out is against our culture whereas beheading, riots, rape, child molesting, spitting, defecating in public, animal & human sacrifice are all part of our culture.

DW readers blaming Modi for this idiot`s blabbering is the irony of all.

Why we require a cultural minister when he himself has no culture? Which era he is in? It looks many comments by ministers in the past too is leading to some angle? Is this a conspiracy?

Shall we not sent our cultural minister to the counselor? Is he living in the stone age? Do people not know what is right and wrong for them? Do we need politicians to decide for our lives? Wake up Indians before it is too late. BJP is detrimental to India. Stop its growth.

Many of the Ministers came from the streets since the Cabinet ion was based on political leverage, a bunch of nonsense ........

India never had such an ill-fate in her history.

ಹುಚ್ಚು ನಾಯಿ ಕಚ್ಚಿದರೆ ಅದು ಅದರ ತಪ್ಪಲ್ಲ. ಅದನ್ನು ಬೀದಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಅಲೆದಾಡಲು ಬಿಟ್ಟವರ ತಪ್ಪು. ಸುಮ್ಮನೆ ಅದನ್ನು ಅಂದು ಏನೂ ಪ್ರಯೋಜನವಿಲ್ಲ. ಅಲ್ಲವೇ

What we can expect from this cow Governance.

Presently in India we are witnessing Cow Culture, Eating habits Culture, Communal Culture and Corruption culture which leads us to Raadhe Ma's Culture. We see the governing leaders are India' Vulture.
