My, my, how time flies.

See, it’s already 18-days since the last update of Incredible India.

Time for a new edition of Incredible India, folks.

Bet all ye schmucks in boondocks-land think that stripteases are only in Hollywood movies or enacted out by all those immoral White bitches and Black sluts for the horny bastards in America, right.

Shows how little you know, you putzheads.

While you were sleeping, India not only turned into the numero uno rape destination of the world but Indians have embraced striptease acts with mucho gusto.

Of course, our Indian puritans are no strangers to striptease – after all, Indians tried the greatest striptease ever on the polyandrous Draupadi a gazillion years back (read the Mahabharat epic for details). Continue reading »

For millennia, Indians have been buggering each other, figuratively.

But now they can do it, literally.

And legally too (this means homosexuality is no longer ground for being carted off to jail where you become the lover-boy for stronger male prisoners).

The New York Times has just put out a story that an Indian court has struck down Section 377 (dealing with the gay sex ban) as unconstitutional.

Here’s the excerpt from the NYT story:

In a landmark ruling Thursday that could usher in an era of greater freedom for gay men and lesbians in India, New Delhi’s highest court decriminalized homosexuality.

“Discrimination is antithesis of equality,”  the judges of the Delhi High Court wrote in a 105-page decision that is the first in India to directly guarantee rights for gay people. “It is the recognition of equality which will foster dignity of every individual,” the decision said.

Homosexuality has been illegal in India since 1861, when British rulers codified a law prohibiting “carnal intercourse against the order of nature.”

We’ve never understood this hullabaloo about homosexuality between consenting adults.

Why should it be anyone’s business in which hole his neighbor drills his nail or whether a child has two mommies?

Our philosophy in life is Screw and Let Screw, a modification of the old Live and Let Live.

Today, we can all proudly say – Mera Bharat Mahaan.

Time for another edition of Incredible India.

* 62 years after the Brits said good riddance to their largest colony and packed their bags, the average monthly income for an Indian is $66 (Rs 3,116).

According to the numbers put out by the country’s Central Statistical Organisation today, India has a per capita income of about $794 (about Rs 37,490 for 12 months), This figure is at currrent prices for 2008-2009.

By the way, we must add for the benefit of some of our schmuck readers that the per capita income is for a full year (here, read more about per capita income here). So, that’s $794 for a full year.

Pathetic. Just pathetic.

Alas, when you look at the per capita income at constant prices (i.e. at 1999-2000 prices) during 2008-09, the figure drops to a pitiful Rs. 25,494 ($540). Try living on $540 for a full year, even in India. Continue reading »

Time for another edition of Incredible India, folks.

* A 12-year-old girl in the North Indian city of Jaipur who delivered a child the other day did not even realize she was pregnant until the delivery. No, we are not kidding.

Here’s an excerpt from the Times of India story:

She was too young to even to realize that she was pregnant until she had delivery on Wednesday morning. Due to ignorance and illiteracy, the only medical care she received during pregnancy was when an emergency ambulance picked her up from the roadside and admitted her to ‘Mahila’ Hospital, but that was only after she had delivered the baby girl.

* Only men engage in gang-rape in India. Women can’t, says India’s Supreme Court.

* Indian parliamentarians say there should not be sex education in schools because it’s against the country’s social and cultural ethos. Now, you know why there are 1.2 billion mosquitoes in India. Continue reading »

Folks, here comes the 22nd instalment of Incredible India, with those only-in-India stories.

* This one is straight out of the Ripley’s Believe it or Not book and we were tongue-tied when we first heard this. Mahesh, a follower of Andhra Pradesh Chief Minister Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy, cut his tongue at a Hindu temple as a bribe for his leader’s victory.

Mahesh can’t talk now. Read this excerpt:

An ardent follower of chief minister Y S Rajasekhara Reddy sliced his tongue on Wednesday as an offering to God for the success of the latter in the coming elections.

C Mahesh, 30, from West Godavari district, resorted to this act at Venkateswara temple besides Satya Sai Nigamagamam at Srinagar Colony around 11.30 am..

…..Mahesh was later shifted to the Osmania General Hospital by the locals from the temple. OGH resident medical officer (RMO) Dr Ashok Kumar Vaidya told TOI that Mahesh had lost the tip of the tongue and was unable to talk.

* Yet another foreigner has been raped in India. Anyone really surprised. The American girl, a student at the TISS, was gangraped while she was unconscious, according to the police.

The victim says the Indian police initially refused to help her. Again, no surprise. India is after all the rape capital of the world and the police there are but pigs in Khaki. Continue reading »
