If you think chastity and virginity are things of the past, keep such notions to yourself. Or, do whatever you want. Just don't say it aloud, or you will land in a spot.
At least, that's what Sushmita Sen has learnt.
Her comment, "No Indian has chastity or virginity any more" has upset the culture cops of Tamil Nadu, and the Madurai branch of the Madras High Court has issued a notice against her. A notice has also been issued to the Tamil newspaper Dina Thanthi which issued the transcripts of Sen's television interview.
Lawyer Girish Kumar in his petition sought to prosecute the actress under IPC Sections 292, 292B, 293 and 294 ( all pertaining to obscenity in print, words and songs), 499 and 500 ( which relate to defamation), besides Sections 3, 4 of the Indecent Representation of Women (Prohibition) Act and 2, 3 and 6 of the Young Persons Harmful Publication Act.
The notice will have to be returned by January 7.
