Full Circle: Anbumani Ramdoss on Sex Education!!!
In December 2005, when I just started blogging the hot debate in Tamilnadu was utterances of Khusboo on need for sex awareness among youngsters, particularly students. Some people with good memory may recall the indecent attack on the actress and anyone else who supported her during that time by PMK people among others.
Well here is a coming around in full circle. Today is the World Population Day and our health minister, none other than Anbumani Ramdoss of PKM says that we need to have sex education in schools! Finally!
What Khusboo said in 2005:
I think sex education is a must in our schools. When the schools fail to teach sex, parents should educate their children about sex. In my opinion, sex is not only related to body; it's got a lot to do with our minds. I can't understand how some girls could change their boyfriends every Friday. When a girl is sure about her boyfriend she can tell her parents that she's going out with him. When the girl has a serious relationship the parents should also allow it. Our society should liberate itself from such ideas that the brides should all be virgins at the time of marriage. No educated man will expect his bride to be virgin at the time of marriage. But when indulging in pre-marital sex, the girl should guard herself against pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases.

How the PMK protested against the actress, a comprehensive story

"In our country, we do sex. But we don't want to talk about it. In our close-knit society, we have to enlight and create awareness among our children," he told reporters after inaugurating a two-day sensitisation programme on population and health issues. On the issue of some states banning sex education, he said states could decide whether they want it or not. "We are not forcing anyone. But they will be the losers if awareness is not created at the right age," he said.

Now that he has arrived at the conclusion, will Mr. Ramdoss start with an apology to the actress and all the others who were harassed by his partymen and women??
