OMG-2 has been an incredibly progressive film, which touches
the Indian taboo subjects in a very gracious manner. The film deals with the
topic of Sex education in a very open manner with proper decorum.
Coming to the topic of Sex Education, if it should be imparted
to the students, I am of the strong opinion that it should be but in an Indian way.
Indian Tantra Shastras are full of Shringar Ras (erotica)
and I am sure India can impart sex education in an effective manner much better
than western counterparts. There are many tests other than the Kamasutra’s
which speaks about seduction (https://youtu.be/jnS66SszwEs) and sex education.
I am very sure that the children within the age group of
12-18 years are curious to know about sex and they would be better off being formally
educated than without it.
Questions regarding masturbation, having sex with multiple
partners, simultaneously, all arise in an inquisitive mind and should not be pushed
under the carpet. How does he satisfy his curiosity? Are his parents able to
answer him convincingly or should he be left to “google baba”.
Many crimes (cybersex) related to obscene videos of gfs being uploaded on
the internet is common. For many it would be an unbearable trauma even leading
to suicides. These are better off being formally addressed.
Is the society open to such change?
I believe the society was never ready for anything innovative
or pathbreaking. It took reformers and innovators like Narayana Guru,Chattampi Swamikal,
Martin Luther to break the existing status quo.
Coming back to the film OMG-2 very disappointed with the film
being given ‘A’ certification when the target audience for the film would be
teenagers.
The current government seems to be conservative in its outlook
in terms of its thoughts and actions and looks to impose its views on others
which could be detrimental to a progressive nation like India.
