Art or Obscene?

                                              Art or Obscene- Animikh /Picture- Tirthankar 

Over the past few days we have seen a trend where photos of women wearing exposing clothes have become viral. The photos seem to be extremely professionally taken with good subject matters and pure artistic touch. But this is not the topic of discussion today, the topic is the reactions which have come on social media regarding these photos. 

90% of the reactions are negative and a section of people are constantly bashing the women in the photos with often derogatory and obscene comments regarding their dress and body. Even though a very few people are rational enough to understand that there is nothing wrong in it, it is purely an art form and nothing else.

 But these people and their rational comments are nothing in front of the negative comments which are pouring in day in day out. Men women alike are bashing the women(read slut shaming) and the photographers on this. 

Are we really living in 2018? We constantly brag about the west and say how things are glitz and glory there and all, then when it comes to Indian Women doing the same we slut shame them. What sort of hypocrisy is this?

At one hand you're saying that these women are demeaning our culture then at the very next moment you're slut shaming them? Is slut shaming a part of our culture as well? They're not robbing anybody or having fun with tax payers money or revealing trade secrets to Pakistan? They're just models hired for a photoshoot, is this how we should treat them? THINK!
