India May Arrest Richard Gere Over Kiss (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/huff-wires/20070426/people-gere)

NEW DELHI — A court issued arrest warrants for Hollywood actor Richard Gere and Bollywood star Shilpa Shetty on Thursday, saying their kiss at a public function "transgressed all limits of vulgarity," media reports said.
Judge Dinesh Gupta issued the warrants in the northwestern city of Jaipur after a local citizen filed a complaint charging that the public display of affection offended local sensibilities, the Press Trust of India news agency reported.
Gupta earlier viewed television footage of the event, which he called "highly sexually erotic," saying the pair violated India's strict public obscenity laws.
Gere and Shetty "transgressed all limits of vulgarity and have the tendency to corrupt the society," PTI quoted the judge as saying.

Such cases against celebrities _ often filed by publicity seekers _ are common in conservative India. They add to a backlog of legal cases that has nearly crippled the country's judicial system.

Gere left India shortly after the kissing incident and it was not immediately clear how the warrant would affect him.
Gere is a frequent visitor to India, promoting health issues and the cause of Tibetan exiles. The Tibetan spiritual leader, the Dalai Lama, has his headquarters in the north Indian town of Dharmsala.
Under Indian law a person convicted of public obscenity faces up to three months in prison, a fine, or both.

These people (The VHP and Bajrang Dal and other radicals) dont have the support of Mainstream Middle Class Hindus. A lot of my friends are hindus and they dont give a shit about these things. I knew that Gere kissed her but it is just now I've come to know abt the arrest. Pretty sad considering the cause he supports.

P.S. I'm not a hindu.

It is clearly mentioned that Shiv Sena and Vande Mataram Sanghursh Samiti(never heard abt this one, must be some publicity seeking radicals) are behind the protest.

But as I said, most people dont care.

They may have a little support of some poor illiterate folks. Shiv Sena does not exists outside Mumbai.

What I'm saying is that you cannot equate Indian Hindus with Radical Hindus. Sure there are Radicals but they are very less.

Radical Christians are just as bad as the terrorists that do evil in the name of Islam.

Repped.

Gotcha. So the Indian Judge who issued an arrest warrant for kissing is like Judge Roy Moore refusing to take the Ten Commandments down. Just a fringe, radical element of the religion making a judgement that is applauded by the poor ignorant masses, but decried by the mainstream culture.
