Public sentiment demonstrates a strong yet complex appreciation for the growing presence of women in the Indian Police Service (IPS). While many commend the positive strides toward gender equality and express hope for fair judicial practices, there are also underlying critiques regarding the treatment of women within the system and concerns about misuse of power by female authority figures.

Indian origin this, indian origin that ...... Who cares man, they were brought up in a different country so most probably nothing about them makes them indian apart from being brown. The officer has enough of what she was trying to do so be dealt with it accordingly, chapter closed.

No context, no news article , just some click bait caption. It's a pretty old video. Looks like a WhatsApp graduate sharing his class assignment.

Most probably she is a palestine supporter doing extreme protests in public spaces

The caption needn’t have “Indian”. Nothing about what she does says “Indian”. Don’t simply spoil the name of a nation just because some people are stupid.

What’s with the denial? you don’t think an indian can do this?
“She’s a Palestine supporter” “she’s pakistani” “can’t be indian”

Apparently It's an old video from 2020 during pro biden protests..why is it being circulated again? And there's no reason to mention indian origin if she is a citizen there and if her origin was not relevant to the fight. She acted poorly and faced consequences.

Ill_Diamond7038

No part of her conduct shows she is Indian. She's probably born and raised in whichever country this happened in so don't see the point in degrading India. People just say anything to get some views 🙂‍↔️ Anyways this trend is increasingly becoming the norm these days .. people see a brown skin person doing something wrong and just post the same bs labelling India as 'bad".

I had a colleague from Kerala who was so proud to take dowry. When I said i would never pay someone to marry me, he said I will never get married. I said that’s fine with me as long as I don’t have to spend my life with some AH. Now it’s been 10 years, I have been in wonderful marriage.

Puzzleheaded_2020

As a person from Kerala, yes we even get morally policed for wearing fucking sleeveless. I can’t even wear knee length dress in front of my dad but he can roam shirtless in house

Mayaanambiar

I’m half telugu (my fathers from Andhra Pradesh) and I spent a significant part of my childhood in Andhra , so I can give you a first hand perspective on this , which is : not everyone !!! 
Ive  seen this mostly from older generations and I think you just met some unpleasant people unfortunately, my husband doesn’t care about what I wear as long as I’m comfortable in it , my father never cared if I wore a dress or a saree and neither did my brother , it was the others (mostly older people ) outside that said otherwise, my mum always gave them a piece of her mind when they did that

____mynameis____

I'm not south indian (I'm from delhi)  but I stayed in Bangalore for 2 years and had a lot of men trying to moral police my fits. I'll list the incidents:

1) I was stopped and lectured at a metro station by an uncle for wearing a sleeveless top (I had jeans in bottom)

2) one of my classmates told me to go and change before going out because I was wearing shorts (not the denim one I was wearing lounge shorts) 

3) I was stopped by another classmate and informed my bra strap is visible in a sleeveless blouse. 

4) another classmate texted me saying "oh good you didn't get the slit dress, it's quite slutty (he saw me scrolling through my phone in class)" 


5) I was told by a male classmate to pull my top up because my satin shirt collar was "not in place" (it sits on the chest sometimes since satin is kinda flowly in material)

6) I went to watch a movie with classmates and a boy looked at me and said "if you wear this in Kerala everyone will stare the fuck out of you" ( I was wearing an oversized tshirt and normal shorts) 


South is very conservative in terms of clothing unless you live in posh areas. It has a mixed crowd, like every other city. Tbh I felt safer in pondi than bangalore. Nobody stared at me or lectured me for clothing. I think it depends on the area.

vomitpoop

Intelligent-Farm6076

Currently in Hyd and my bf tells me that most of the men in his office talk badly about women who wear shorter clothes (mostly South Indians).

I have been here for almost 3 years and not seen many women who wear shorts (except at clubs). So yeah I would say it’s a bit more conservative here compared to other big cities.

merandomperson20

Imo this is common. These guys are being honest, at least.. Eventually, you'll end up meeting ones who are super progressive when it dating (meaning they want premarital intimacy ) but will look for a virgin when it's time to marry. 

Sounds like you need to cut certain people out of your life or at least not get attached.

Honestly, it depends very much on the individual. I have friends whose parents never moral policed them or relatives for that matter. But I have also heard of their brothers being upset when their sister doesn't wear a shawl. Even my cousin (brother) used to be a shithead like that. 

My cousin (sister) has been wearing t shirt and pants all these times as far as I can remember, I have never heard her parents moral police her. My other cousin and me got moral policed (and got our confidence broken so many times along with intense body shaming) all the time by our respective moms. Our dads never bothered with it. So, it comes to individual people's opinions. 

People here mostly won't come and moral police u directly to ur face, but they will stare if u wear shorts or crop top. The staring also is mostly by old people and some immature guys. I have stared before too but that is in awe and wondering when I can wear those. Then I stopped it.

TastyCry3083

I can't speak about "most men", but in my experience, some do and some don't. 

As to your question about hyderabad, in hitech City and around, you can safely wear shorts and dresses. Wouldn't recommend doing that outside of the city. This goes for Bangalore as well. 

You might have colleagues and friends who might judge you anyways. Not worrying about them would be the best cost of action here. 

Also, telugu movies usually have really really creepy scenes. Balayya is probably the worst offender. 😬

Jazzlike-Ball5215

Not all men are like that, especially in the younger generation. 


Just like the North has Incels who follow a certain YouTuber, South also has Incels, just a coincidence that both people you met are like that. 


Hyderabad is a relatively safe city, I would argue even safer than Delhi, but you have to be mindful about where you are going and dress appropriately, especially since the city and language is new for you. I really wish things were different for the girls of the country, but we seem to be heading backwards, better safe than sorry. 

My sister's friend who is from Tamil Nadu was shamed for "being easy", by another guy who is from Tamil Nadu. This was in the US for a mixer for international students, where she was just having a beer. From her own opinion men from Tamil Nadu are sexist, I myself don't know much. I have faced this kind of sexism from a friend who is Telugu...he basically asked me what I will do to settle my sister in the US, and that my husband will take care of everything..

NectarineSudden8569

born and raised in bengaluru. didn’t face any moral policing, thankfully.

I'm a Telugu woman by heritage (fortunately being raised outside the state and traumatised enough to not possess their worst qualities - hopefully) - I studied in Vizag for 5 years and I reside in hyd since last year. 


Telugu men are the most casteist and misogynistic men you'll meet. They use gaslighting and subtle positive reinforcement to try to change women to their will. Their views on "being culture" and "liking traditional wear" bs. 

Oh, they'll come at you with very seemingly rational arguments but you'd note the tone of misogyny, subtle shaming etc. And when you get mad, they act like you're being unreasonable.

A lot of whataboutism and fake scenarios that are cooked up. They praise women who check their boxes as real women or real feminists to gaslight you into changing or arguing but what you're actually doing is putting yourself into their boxed version of what's right. 

As for telugu movies, I was super shocked when kabir Singh got the outrage it did. Because a lot of telugu movies are along similar lines and such behaviour is glorified and often embodied among the youth. It falls into their dating also. I've seen women from north date telugu men (often met at work in software) and do a complete u turn on their lives - changed their ways of dressing, stop hanging out with friends/men, often moving cities for them and eventually are trapped into having to face massive heartbreak with years (often their 20s wasted) or some wind up marrying them, quitting their jobs to become housewives and mom's (not shaming that choice but it really isn't a choice if you look at it).

I am currently living in hyd (I moved here last year with my partner and we live together). If you're working in corporate and staying in hi tech city, you should be ok. If you wish to seek advice of how to navigate things and all, feel free to DM and ask me. I understand how hard it is to live in telugu land.

Only advise I can give to my fellow girlies is to avoid telugu people (it applies to most women also) and esp telugu men as much as possible. I understand it's not possible at work (considering you'd be staying in hyd) but as much as possible, don't trust them however much trustworthy they may seem, don't share your personal life (dating life, preferences, sexual orientation) and beyond work stuff don't engage with them. There's plenty of people who came from outside here to work and it's better to hang out with them. 

As for Kerala - I have had similar experiences with a woman who disrespected boundaries and tried to push me into AM even though I had a partner and made some bad comments. But overall, I don't have enough knowledge or experience to speak on that or even make a generalised statement.

Princess_Neko802

Everyone does. Men and women

To be honest , I'm conservative as well. But i don't poke my nose into others wardrobes

littlegreenballoon

Sorry to disappoint as a Telugu girl I can say South is tooo conservative &amp; regressive in general

As someone who used to be South Indian and grew up in the south, I would say your experience is likely a product of the circle you run with. Going to “premium colleges” alone doesn’t make any one progressive. I can’t speak for every South Indian man - but my experience of them has by and large been positive. Progressive, smart and respectful. That’s not to say shitty South Indian men don’t exist - I know some who moved out of the country to study and the minute they found South Indian women in their friend circle they felt comfortable asking them to cook and help them with household chores 🤦‍♀️.

That said, most of my harrowing experiences in India (and outside) have been with people outside of the south belt - specifically certain states in the north and central India.

The_final_frontier_

It’s not a place-specific problem. A person who is inherently narrow-minded and regressive cannot be changed even through education, because they don’t want to.

FreeMarshmallow

I’m a woman from Chennai and I’ve had male friends from Chennai, Hyderabad and Delhi. And yes, I’ve heard and seen men moral police women all my life but I don’t think it’s confined to just South Indian men. I reckon all Indian men are archetypal incels who are obsessed with women, their bodies and their clothes.

Hello_there56789

I’m living in US for past 15 years. There’s a very very large Telugu community here because of IT. 

So many are from 15th century. 

I’ve seen loads of Telugu movies. Misogyny is absolutely disgusting in them. The difference between girls wearing ‘skimpy’ clothes in Telugu and Hindi film industry is that Telugu people always call out women in short clothes in movies and tease them  and talk to them in the most vile manner while this never happens in Hindi movies. Women are not shamed for their clothes in Hindi movies . On the other hand, watch Punjabi movies and see how well respected  girls are in these movies.  

I will not paint everyone with a broad brush, but I have not met many Telugu people I’d like to be friends with for their primitive mentality.

AUnicorn14

I live in Bangalore and I wear outfits that would be perceived as immodest even abroad but nobody has commented anything about them. I guess I just have a different experience.

You know AJ bhairav is tamil and has got a huge fanbase here? He's the chief guest for various college functions. That explains the state of TN.

soan-pappdi

I can answer this. I'm south indian but born in the far north and later in the West. So my family culture is a mix. Parents try really hard to hold onto "culture" as they see it. But at the same time consider themselves liberal. So they constantly contradict themselves. They totally wanted me to dress as they wished. Then again when i moved abroad they were ok with me dressing liberally. But the moment i set foot back in India, they want me to become the epitome of a model daughter again. So it's there but hopefully getting better
