the example you are gave on honor killing, stoning, bla bla bla is absolutely irrelevant to Namrata's scandal. in her case, people are concerned and they are condemning such action as it is morally degrading.
-> No one is denying that what she did was bad. But do you want to give a death sentence for her?
Honor killing and stoning is exaggeration. Did you read in the news that mao taliban and other local people went to gherao the victim of Prakash Ojha's victim's house and threatened to bring her naked out of house? The analogy I presented is the norm of punishing the victim. In Namrata's case, it doesn't apply since she's not the victim I guess. But here's my question to you. Please tell me which one of Namrata's act we are deploring.
a) she had oral sex
b) she filmed it
c) the film was exposed
d) she slept with a married man
if we just let go such action, we'll see more of it in future. teenagers and emerging artists take her as a role model and if her actions are justified and if teenagers and women get inspired to do such thing, then we'll downgrade ourselves one step closer to animal. remember, it's not about namrata, it's about her action.
->I agree that she can no longer be a role model. But I don't think that she should give up her life and go to banbash. Since her profession is in entertainment industry, she has the right to work. Regarding teenagers following it, I think it should be a lesson for them. I don't think teenagers are so naive and dumb that they'll follow like her footstep. For what? To gain publicity? Well, Namrata was already famous before this event.
Since we live in western society here and our children will probably grow up here. We can't control our children's actions all the time. God let nothing happen. Scandals in school these days are not that rare. But I guess people deserve the second chance, and I don't think Namrata will ever rise again to the level she was once. But we should stop this bullying tradition.
Regarding my exaggeration, another extreme example of the talibanism by nepalese mobs can be found in mysansar. Mobs in ratnapark stripped a woman naked and then beat her for committing adultery. Do we really need to wait till someone stone? We already read the news of a child sacrifice last week.
khoikkhoik, I'm with you.
