Naked Truth

The raucous hullabaloo
On the nakedness of a male star
Makes me feel surprised.

If India is so conservative
Why the temples and statues of
Konark and Khajuraho
Are considered as sculptures of
Erotic Art in those days and now?

Why feel proud about
The Kama Sutra of Vatsayana?

Why double standards as
Women’s nudity is glamor
Men’s nudity is obscene?

If not anything
This brouhaha proves
Indians still prefer to be
Preferentially conservative.

That is the Naked Truth.
