There was a tumultuous debate going on in the Parliament. Members across parties were almost on the verge of starting a fist fight. The Speaker was having a tough time controlling the agitated politicians.

That day the Anti-pornography Bill was to be passed in the Lok Sabha. The whole country was glued to the news channels on their television sets to listen to the debate. A lot of people were actually enjoying the whole scene. But, at the same time, many were feeling hopeless and resented.

An old parliamentarian was giving an impassioned speech on the ill effects of pornography to the sacred Indian culture. He was supported hugely by not only his own party members, but the opposition also. They all were thumping the benches to convey their solidarity.

An MP tried to reason that this ban would contradict the fundamental rights of the citizens. But the House members rudely interjected him and almost booed till he stopped speaking.

An actress-turned-politician reasoned that the porn industry commercialized the female body unethically to gain profits.

In reply to that, another MP showed the result of a statistical survey conducted by a little-known source. There it was claimed that 25 per cent of the porn consumers in India were women.

After some time, the whole debate turned into a political blame game. The old elderly parliamentarian addressed the house about the ill effects of pornography in the conservative Indian society. He also spoke about how teenagers were affected by porn. He made a stern comment that pornography was the main factor behind the rising number of rapes and the violence against women in India.

His young wife was also watching this high-voltage debate on television like the rest of the country. She was applauding his speech, feeling very proud of her great husband.

Her servant Ramu was also watching this program with rapt attention. She signalled him with a mysterious smile. ‘No Ramu, let the TV be on,’ she snatched the remote control from his hand.

‘Let my laptop be also turned on at the same time. There will not be any problem in keeping track of both.’ She opened a known pornography website on the laptop and invited Ramu to view it with her just like the other days. Ramu helped her in disrobing her clothes one by one.

Her husband’s loud baritone was suppressed by her moaning and groaning sound along with that of the girl in the adult movie.
