If disrespecting and stalking women is a part of our society then we can't just say that this is our culture and if this is our culture then we must refuse it and stop glorifying and romanticising stalking...And why on earth is the girl in punjabi songs always demanding clothes, bags and cars from the man, as if the women can't exist or be happy without the man taking care of her. Female bodies and their "patla lak" and the brands they prefer ( they have a special affinity for guuci and prada) are described in detail and women are shown as selfish shallow creatures who always gravitate towards the richest man.

This is a very small concentrated sample of the population that has moved to Chandigarh to attend universities/colleges, this statement includes both men and women looking for greener pastures so they won't have to return to their previous lives. Some have come to terms with the fact that they have to go back so they act out and 'make the most' of being away from familial supervision. They come from small towns and mislabel the liberal atmosphere as 'freedom' because they have never been independent before. The majority of individuals that belong to the city, not transplants, are well-read and don't act like this.

I have personally witnessed such situations or had been told by people I knew.And mind it, none of us were 'provocatively dressed' or 'heavily made up'or wore 'figure hugging attires'.To add to this, Jaipur is considered a safe city when compared to other cities in the north or north-west.

Punjab is also one of the most unsafe places for women. This kind of thing happens all over in Punjab..I'm a student studying in Moga and we live in a hostel and facing such kind of things..whenever we went out for some outing, Car full of boys even Boys with pug ( Sardar) too are involved in such things. They just keep following in the middle of the market and suddenly down their window and ask for id's and numbers... in their language the find themselves cool but it, not enough cool we get terrified but such kind of act.

I am from a small town in Chhattisgarh, when i was in school i went to play basketball nationals to Chandigarh and my whole team was very surprised on how the punjabi music culture and guys treated women. I mean i literally saw men in their late twenties eve-teasing high school girls. I as a man was very disgusted as i have not experienced things like this in my state. For higher education i went to US there also the guys from Punjab were very weird with girls, it was kind of embarrassing so i quit hanging out with them even though we were from same country. The women harassment that has been glorified in Punjabi pop songs has to go. It is ruining generations.

Ig you're probably talking about cities in underdeveloped low literacy levels states like UP or something like this where women aren't safe & not even allowed to wear their choice of clothes but in context to my comment here its proven genders live upon the attention Of the opposites & its how we all men/women are psychologically biologically programmed in the prefrontal cortex of our brains. Even i strongly want that guys should go straight up to the girl they like find cute whatever & figure it out actually you know all our boys in the society are raised wrong yo as if women are some taboo or infact these boys rather got no bad intentions so shy & afraid of women lol unlike western part of the world I've been living in 6 toranto & we punjabi & western are far different culturally.. so its more of easy to get away shortcut for the straight approach to the local guys here in the city.

Last timee i went there guys were driving so rashly, drinking in car, you can look at them n knw that they are not from around here, very aggressive, eyeballing other guys, tying condums on a stick and stopping girls with that stick and yes punjabi music industry not directly but indirectly responsible for it. The aggression these days in youth is because of these songs.
