The article which strikes me the most is streamy TV in India tests the limits of sex taboos. It striked me the most as it talks about the indian values and traditions and how they are changing in todays society. The article is sugessting that is an issue for women to become more sexual icons in films due to their family backgrounds and religious values they follow. The article states that women cannot be sexual objects due to their respect in society.
