India, the land of profanity

“Oye Bhain Di, Hindi bolti hai?”- The opening lines spoken by Aamir Khan in Rang De Basanti has given enough explanation how the cult of profanity has gone deep-rooted into our society. Any way, few months ago, when I paid a self-surprise visit to my old school, I found many small toddlers speaking well-versed “gaalis” fluently, better we should forget about their Hindi lessons. As time has passed, the acceptability of such vocabulary has given upper hand to the people to express their feelings in a different way. Many of them believe it’s a best way to express one’s feeling in a better way. Those days had gone when people usually used such words with a grudge. They are now more polite with a punch like “ Bhain ke lode, kal phone kyun nahin kiya??”

The melancholies of such words are different through various points of views. As a musician composes a beautiful masterpiece by using various notes, the same way common junta composes their own kind of profanity based words. Elite people prefer to use English, just to prove how well they are using their high education for a perfect disposal.

Just take an example of an engineering college, a student comes out of a room after a gruesome journal submission cum viva, he shoots – “ Maa ke Lode ne aaj meri gaand maar di!” His friend on his support says- “ Gaand aur Doodh jab phat-ta hai, tab awaaaz nahin aati. Hahahaha”. Just see the flow of ideas and information! I simply can’t believe it; the system of natural human communication has evolved into such lower degree of expressions.

Don’t mind!! Even girls are also playing a pivotal role. If you don’t believe my words, just do drop by nearest hang out zone of cities like Bangalore, Pune or Delhi you will find the word “Fuck” with a feminine touch on a Play & Rewind list. So, if you ever considering to hear “Madder Chod” from a Behari, the 21st century girl in reply will shoot “You!! MOTHER FUCKER” – The instant Hindi-To-English Dictionary!!!

Relatively speaking, I don’t have any complains from this ongoing traditional change. But what so ever, the equation of being polite and to keep one’s mouth afresh gives substantial maters of doubts. Any type of mouth fresheners like Pass-Pass or Minto fresh cant do enough justice on this issue neither I do expect much from any upcoming FMCG companies. It’s all up to the personal choice what to speak and what not to speak, why to speak and why not to speak, how to speak and how not to speak, when to speak and when not to speak.
