Kiss Fine (Misc.)
By media.desi on May 1, 2006 in Discussions
Kissing in public has always been a taboo. It was only now that the young couples had started to open-up and did not find anything wrong expressing their love in public. But to all those love birds kissing in public has just gotten 10 times more expensive in India’s capital, who face fines of Rs 500 if they are caught making “illegal use” of public spaces. New Delhi’s authorities found a fine of Rs 50 rupees levied under a 1936 law was too little to deter couples.
What do you have to say guys? Is New Delhi Going too far or is it taken the right step? Use the comments section.

hmm…being a expressive person myself..i really have a biased feeling. I guess its one’s life and expresing ones thoughts feelings…however physical or emotional shouldnt have any barriers nor levy any fine.Just doesnt make sense! But equally i agree livin in europe..i dont want my bharath to go on the way i see here everyday!The word ‘expressive’ is translated into ’soft porn’on the streets!It is alright…whn u know where to draw the line. I dont want to be a hypocrite here like most us are when it comes to topics like this..so i am neutral towards the topic. But fining someone just coz u let a lil bit of ur feelings loose…according to me is a lil tooo extreme!

I think 500 is less. the difference between animals and humans is civilization. smoking in public is similar ex:. if its going to effect others, then YES. Definitely has to be stopped. public expression should be stopped. There is no clear line of demarcation. Placing hand over shoulder is OK, but how about fingers of the hand…u can do what ever at your homes. Not in public. Children will get spoiled.

I agree with both of you guys.
but is it the ultimate solution. I everybody will kiss and give those 500 bucks and get away. with the advent of software or call center jobs 500 rs. is a meager amount in =India

We are going back to where we came from, Primitive man used to do all sorts of things in public. We call ourselves civilized bcoz we know wat to do in public and wat not to. You are always welcome to express your feelings, But do them in such a manner so tat u lead others by example.

Well guys, yes there should be a limit, even western countries has limit like public nuisance. Well if this is a law, then law can and will be misused easily in our country. See, this should be left for the society, public and their common sense not for the government. Government should never interfere in your way of expression. Think tomorrow, if you and your partner hold hands together or hug, there might be fine too. Extremists cannot be given power(shivasena atacks on archies, mullah’s fatwa against Sania etc). So I am against law but I am also not supportive of public romance.

Well I think Kissing in Public is too much. Its like crossing your limits. If Govt keeps quiet now then after few yrs as what I see the growth and development, ppl will start having SEX in Public places too. Am not against it but just watch out where you are and what you are doing. You would be influincing small kids with your behaviour. You need not join in MLTRY or desh sava to serve your country just be in your limits and watch out. Thanks for reading and dont mind for the typos.

We have to understand one thing…kissing can just be out of pure love, it has a lot of emotional value. On the other hand it can be romancing. Imagine your partner doing a very funny and childish thing and if u kiss u r kissing the child in him/her….it truly has nothing to do with romance. As long as kissing is with in limits its fair. A fine is absolutely not a proper thing. All those who are doing these acts are smart young ppl and they know the values. If its little too much fire a warning n leave’em alone. Whole country has to change its attitude with time….probhiting things like these will only make it more worse.

A kiss has its own importance in our daily life kissing in public is not that sin or a issue to consider but kiss should be in its own limits and well to be appropriate for the situation finally what i want to say is culture and moral ethics of the society has to be abided .

500rs fine is very less. I think it should be more. Expressing in public is not at all necessary.

ahhhhhhhh cmon yaar we are cultivated thats why we can understand whats love and whats not,if we kiss in the public place doesnt mean that we are being primitive again,but the only concern is under what laws we are doing that,and india even after 100years it will be the same emotional country.its too bad that people are fined just bcoz they are loving.

I think kissing in public is okay..On the other hand we should start sex education in our schools..We should tell our kids what is ethical and what is not..I can understand the concerns of government..Sometimes in parks in delhi people just go beyond the limits..They should understand themselves that what they are doing in a public place..But It will happen only if we educate them properly from childhood..Fine will never work..In india there are so many other problems to be faced for cops..They are not there to have a look on love birds..I request our government to take a right step…Thanks

well kissing is no longer a taboo in india. I dont think it should be i guess!!
when the society is able to handle and accept the westernization( way too far and
fast i would say) going on in the society like dressing, drinking, partying, dating,
cohabiting,spending, living luxuries, etc ( to mention a few) i think they should be
able to handle kissing which i think is not way farrr too much of a eyecatcher.well it
was earlier but not today i would say( when people are ok with having kissing in films and
the censor board is not having a problem in deleting way too far scenes).If the government
or whoever has a problem with this issue should reconsider fining couples who are (just) kissing
and be stringent and lawful on other obscene things going around. making a big hue out of this
issue i would say is not the solution and is not going to stop this. its just another reason
to make humour out of themselves. i think that just kissing( as an expression than an emotion) in public
should be acceptable( in my terms) which is not going to be an eyecatcher anymore. and a kiss
should be a casual one not the attention drawer and something which is distracting others at
least in a crowded country like ours. and such a thing should be acceptable. again it all depends
on the public who does it the way they want and they should know that it should not be obscene.
handle things comfortably and keep others comfortable!!!!! thats my suggestion.

iam totally against kissing in public places…..and we should not just leave by putting a fine of Rs 500….bcos once we start that everyone will be kissing and paying 500 as fine…as 500 is a small amount in india….we should make it a minimum of 5000…..and also along with fine even we should arrest them….as kissing in public places causes lots of inconvienience to the public and also has bad impact on children and teenagers…indirectly we will be encouraging all this stuff in public places………..

this is the starting era of the age where everyone has come to know that they have freedom n right to do anything as they will have their own desires n own personalities. so we cant say them that this is proving to be false and if we consider the government of india they r doing a lots of mistakes n faults like there is a huge grow in the corruption n everyone is looking on their own . And even the cops cant do anything n they r also interested in taking bribe.
if u consider this case then why dont u take action on these people rather than going onto the public.
and the government is like that whatever they do we have to accept and if we do wrong they say that ur not supposed to do this…..
so i dont consider this issue as a strong, until n unless ur going to change the mind of the government.

If u people are saying that we are highly civilized compare to other countries.Then what abt the no. of people who have AIDS. We have a large no. of people who have aids. I guess these are very civilized people????

“Kissing”!!! It totally depends on the persons who are involved whether to have it in public place or non-public place.
But what i think is, Charging 500 rs is not good and they should not do that.
In other way, we are losing our culture and inheriting western culture in our life.

if we charge more it will cause constalbles to ask for bribe rather give them the challan.
this way the people will be harrased more by the police asking for money or we will give u a challan.
It cannot be proven otherwise as there would be no witnesses if the couple kissed or not
btw the photo is awesome.
keep going desivideos.

It is every citizen’s responsibility to know that we should respect India’s culture. For now it might be just kissing and just expression of love. Tomorrow the allowance might increase open sex like in US. Only way a person can understand the seriousness that this might can go to, is only when one imagines his or her family member doing this stuff and suffering later.
Even in law they say, as long as something doesn’t come on to the roads, it is not to be interfered by anyone. That means, otherwise it can be. Guys, please think little broad in along term where this can go to. No need to make India another US in these matters. People and families are suffering here with these kinds of things and now a days trying to get out of it.
Thanks,
