Mallika is in the news again for her performance on New Year's eve at the J.W. Marriott and this time I am on her side. A social activist was offended by her couture and is gunning to to have her charged with obscenity.
The good folks at Indiafm give us this-
Onlookers raised eyebrows when the actress performed in a body-hugging skin suit and a silver bikini to top it. Social activist Vinod Jain has written to the Mumbai police, urging them to take immediate action against Sherawat for wearing suggestive clothes. He saw Sherawat's performance on certain television channels on New Year’s Eve and found it very offensive to the Indian culture. He said that the manner in which Mallika was dancing was very distasteful, and it portrays the Indian woman indecently.Who the hell is Vinod Jain? Do I care what he thinks is tasteful and distasteful? Absolutely not. Has he heard of a remote? I don't think so. If he is offended against her suggestive clothes how hard is it to change the channel? This is the one thing that bugs me about India - people and groups out to get attention. No event, performance, concert, movie, or anything else for that matter, goes unprotested in India. Typically the protesters are a bunch of morons vying for media attention and Vinod Jain is in the same category. I hate it when insignficant entities like him try to become censors. I hope Mallika wins this one and slaps his sorry ass with a law suit.

Update: Rediff has published an interview with Vinod Jain who "vows to pursue the case with police till they admit his complaint". The interview is insightful because it shows how clueless this guy is. On being asked why he didn't just change the channel, he says that he is a news addict and all news channels were showing Mallika dancing. Therefore, he sues Mallika. Go figure!
