I think comments on Rediff are (apart from being a great source of entertainment) a disturbing reflection of what urban Indians think of India, and these SMSs are just another manifestation of the same trend. I’ve seen so many innocuous discussions change into ‘moral’/'immoral’, east/west debates…

My point is lost out in the post perhaps. The media does whatever it can do to sell. We prefer scandal and gore – so they focus on it. Can’t blame the media really. But what bothered me were the SMSs that were probably sent by people who aren’t involved with the media. This obsession with portraying ourselves as some hyper-virtuous people who are vulnerable to moral corruption (which incidentally always originates from the “West”).
