Is india conservative?

How do you come to know that India is still kind of conservative. Lets try and solve this simple question with even simpler questions or instances, observations which you might have heard or seen at some point of time.

Q1. mummy main kaise paida hua???
A1 beta bhagwan ne bheja.
A2 beta koi baba aaye aur tumhe yahan bahar chod gaye.
A3 yeh bhi koi poochne ki baat hai, chalo jao padhai karo.

In class when biology teacher is teaching reproductory system?
"maam can you please explain once again" as you say this she says "read it you will know". She does not repeat anything, the entire chapter is completed in one go. While this process is on, she is all red, and there is a continuous sound of gigling and hush hush in the class.

When some newly married couple goes for honeymoon, and you happen to ask "arre bhai dulha - dulhan kahan hai" The family responds with utmost simplicity " ji woh to GHOOMNE gaye hain".
The first time a girl calls you up, the time you talk to her just twice of that you have to spend explaining who is she, what for she called up, why did she call YOU up, why not others. By the end of the day more people in your family know about this , than the number of people who know that you still piss in bed.(not me as in some people still might)

All girls in typical indian dresses suits and sarees are welcome with respect mixed with and icing of suspicion. The western clothes clad are scanned from top to bottom (to find what she missed out while buying the dress), compared to some far better bollywood babe and ending with cliche's like "yeh aaj kal ki ladkiyan . pata nahin kya kapde pehneti hain, kya poore kapdon ke jyada paise lagte hain? hamare jamane main kahan aisa hota tha, sharam to bech khayi"

When you have a kid, and people wish you congratulations instead of feeling only great(and macho) and saying thanks you always append it(shyly) with statements like "bhai aapko bhi aakhir aap iske chacha hai ya etc hai"

Then there are instances when you are watching some serial or MTv kinds with your family, suddenly the advertisement comes up of durex, nirodh ks etc. Now no escape, if you have the remote you might change the channel(contradictory to your personal wish, and pray it repeats when all leave), or you just happen to start gazing the floor, roof, bedsheets or something as if suddenly the roof/floor broke off etc . At times you just pick up a conversation and all pretend to get involved with lots of "haan haan, nahin nahin aise kaise etc coupled with head shaking"

You might be of 20+yrs of age still you can not watch 18+ movies on star (now stopped) or other channels which are bold to continue. Neither go for a english romantic movie with the family, you will always be on the edge of your seat, the on screen couple might shoot off anytime. All people entering a hall showing "A" rated movies, look around before they enter the theatre.

Where still people think that "only girls" can be molested or raped the male clan is safe and secure and nothing of such nomenclature can happen to them.

I think lots many things like these will put across the way India thinks (as in the majority). I could get these, see if you can add to it something that you came across.

holi hai......abhi pata laga !!!

India has many good things that makes it stand apart from others, apart from you and me lots of festivals is one good reason. Holi the most recent one gone by.
When staying at home or in a metro, city,town, village or any civilized (as in with people around) you firstly know the right day and date, secondly with lots of people around you know what all to do to enjoy the festival, and even more you actually do it.
When you are away from civilization you miss out on all such things, the beauty of such festivals. It is at such places I realised that my biology teacher was right, man is an animal a social animal.

Right in the desert of rajasthan, i never came to know it was holi till one crew member came by with enought gulal to put tika and not more. Quite similar was the holi in college final year, just that we are a big bunch of hostelers, high on bhang preparing for it 2 days in advance.
It started with a plan to dig a hole in the hostel lawn area, fill it water so that the land becomes mushy and loose. This was the place for so called "herbal holi". The tool to dig, a board pointing towards a sapling reading" this was planted by the director of the college on some date years ago" ( the sapling not there just the board). Pulled it out and we started off.
This ended till evening, then came the preparations for bhang, went to the market could not find it openly. So bought other accessories for "thandai" then asked the mess cook to arrange bhang. he went out and brought fresh from the college back side and showed a lot of it growing there.
Holi morning, no cliched happy holi wishes or good morning, just a knock on the door and as the door opens and before you realise whats up. you are up in the air, people lifting you not for GPL but for the herbal holi bath. You are pushed and rolled and kicked and mud forced to all places you can think of, while this is on only try to save your underwear so that it does not come off, many couldn't do that.
After all have had a good face and body herbal pack, the entire group marched to the girls hostel singing the all time hits, rang barse and aaj na chodenge etc. The boys forced open the main gate but could not move ahead so in the lawns started a typical hindi film holi. With a bunch of freaked out unrecognizable, drunk and mentally unstable due to bhang, shouting dancing and throwing eggs colour on the girls standing in the 1st floor balcony, the girls reciprocating equally with enthu.
This ended with a stint with all bhang ppl having a meeting and the leader our narender tau delivering a multitopic, multilingual, nonstop, uninterrupted speech for more than an hour.
Now thats holi !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
