AB - Just because you posted some link earlier about cultural practices in some Asian cultures, doesn’t establish as fact that this kind of behaviour is acceptable in India. T - It is common amongst the Tegulu speaking people of India and they number 80 million. Rawat said it was common and acceptable in his culture. And it is his culture we are concerned with. AB - This happened in Miami, Florida, not Delhi. Prem was married to an American woman, but Prem was also surrounded by Americans and other Westerners. He seemed to do all he could to adapt to Western ways. T - But he still embraces Indian ways AB - The only way he could get away with this is if he did it surreptitiously, meaning he knew then that it was not okay. T - Apparently not. Didn't he do it in front of a third party? T - Otherwise, if he was innocently following some alleged Indian practice, people around him would have quickly corrected him. T - Long before America existed people in India used cannabis as an every day relaxent. Now, thanks to Richard Nixon, using cannabis is a crime in some states of America. No intelligent person is going to assume American law is rational, humans and just. |
