You must have all heard or 'seen' the Liz Hurley- Arun Nayar wedding recently in India.
Not being a fan of Liz and quite frankly not knowing who Arun Nayar is or was, apart from being Liz’s husband, I couldn’t be blamed if I wasn’t a fan of the wedding. I personally felt it was over the top and decadent but its her money and her choice.
An absolute farce but her choice of farce nevertheless.
As a commentator put it, “The foreigners (sic) are senseless and don’t have the cultural sensibility of the Indians. And sometimes they go crazy”
True! Absolutely true! But what was not mentioned was what happens when the Indians themselves go crazy, well…. That’s when the shit actually hits the fan.
Some floozy named Vishnu Khandelwal has filed a case in India and his prosecuting lawyer named H M Saraswat has been quoted as saying the following:
“An arrest warrant could be issued for Arun and Liz as soon as the prosecution has made its case. When Arun Nayar and Liz Hurley came to the marriage mandap, Arun left his footwear outside but Liz refused to remove her footwear. We must remove our shoes when we pray to God. Our intention is to prove that the procedures adopted by both the accused for their marriage are against our Hindu rites. We have our own religious beliefs, including that the bride and bridegroom must behave soberly, and in this case, they had both taken drinks. Pictures of them kissing in Hello! magazine are against our culture too. We are using these pictures to prove our case.”
It's not improtant if you have faith and belief in your soul but, Yes, shoes have to be removed. Yeah and we in india do not kiss. Even after marriage. You know the 1 billion of us were dropped by storks.
The case is reported to be based on section 295 A of the Indian Penal code, which deals with the intention to outrage the feelings of Hindus by insulting their religious and ritualistic beliefs.
Narendra Modi is an outrage to Hindus. Try prosecuting him.
It is also alleged that Liz Hurley showed off excess flesh with her choice of attire.
Saraswat added, “In our religion, the bride’s dress must cover her body properly. Liz showed off her body, which is against our culture and beliefs.”
Obviously he has not seen some of the hindu weddings in the cities now a days. The dress Liz wore to the wedding mandap was more covered than most indian brides. And since when did our religion have dress codes mentioned? I dont remember any shasthra or veda mentioning what should and shouldn't be worn.
In an earlier court hearing, Saraswat reportedly accused the couple of “utilizing the Hindu marriage to spread Christianity”. Not a fan of Ms. Gandhi I presume and again, how in heaven's name can a hindu marriage spread christianity? Maybe Mr. Khandelwal should convert to Islam to spread Hinduism.
He told a court in Jodhpur, “This is the first case in India where a married couple has gone through another marriage. The couple has been, through their act, trying to canvass for the spread of Christianity and utilizing the Hindu marriage, they have hurt the people’s sentiments.”
India talks about its famed 9% growth and teeming middle class and 74% population under 35 and how India is Incredible. Yet it just takes one crackpot to sully all that in one stroke of insanity. I know it is just 1 crazy person doing this but Liz’s high profile in the tabloids will ensure that this news is splashed prominently in the newspapers all over the world.
There has to be some kind of law to stop these kind of cuckoo legislations. Not only because it is absolutely ridiculous but also because it wastes the court’s time. And we wonder why millions upon millions of cases are pending in the courts where normal people’s cases are not given a chance to be heard.
Not to mention how India is losing out on the lucrative wedding market.
India Shining? Naa!
Not till lunatics like Khandelwal are locked up in asylums.
