"Some TV pundits pointed out that the Redskins cheerleaders are showing more skin on the cricket pitch than most Indian men will see before marriage. "

Let’s be real, it’s more skin than than most Indian men will see after marriage as well!  LOL!!!!

Thought you guys would be amongst the first of desi blogs to cover this, but looks like you’re the last.

When you’re right, you’re right. But if we’re at the stage where we have expectations that can go unfulfilled, at least we’re moving up in the world.

As reported here (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/south_asia/7366516.stm), a desi uncle waxed eloquent, “We live in India where womanhood is worshipped. How can anything obscene like this be allowed?,” Siddharam Mehetre told the Press Trust of India news agency.

Yep, and I’ve got some WBDs in Iraq to sell you, Siddharamji.

I agree with you that India is not socially mature enough as a whole to digest this.

More from the article;

“There have been reports in the Indian newspapers of cheerleaders complaining of sections of the crowd jeering at them and making lewd comments. ”

Oh really? Who would’ve thought?

I say next time anyone wants to pull a stunt like this, send a representative from Blank Noise Project (http://blog.blanknoise.org/) over to the USA to give a seminar to American women about India, her culture, customs and general place of women, and see how many cheerleaders you get boarding a Mumbai bound plane.
