Kushboo Controversy
Reportedly Kushboo said "it is fine for girls to indulge in premarital sex after taking care to keep unwanted pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases at bay" and she is arrested and dragged to the court. I don't see any problem with what she said, Last I checked India is a free country and we had right of speech.
Kushboo coming out of the Mettupalayam court, where she is being tried for Libel against Tamil Culture
Anyways what's so wrong about pre-marital sex? The puritans would say it's not the Indian way! Would I want my daughter to have it? No! Would I beat her and kick her out of my home if she has it? No! I would try to talk to her and educate her about safe sexual practices, and make her understand the implications and gravity of the situation.
What the people in Tamil Nadu are doing right now is a big farce, they venerated her by building a temple, when she was gyrating for the loud tunes in the movies, now they are throwing stones at her for denigrating Tamil culture. If you ask me, at the risk of being accused of generalization I would say Tamilians should temper their emotions.
What would any good good come out of dragging Kushboo to court? Would that teach Kushboo to respect 'Tamil culture'? Would that stop girls having pre-marital sex? Would that make all the stone throwers holier than all of us? All I could see is a politician having a nice day by stoking few fires.
What do they do now when their Goddess have wronged? Find an other goddess? What would happen to Tamil culture when one dumb-headed actress has an opinion about it? Would the centuries old culture crumble?
Wait,I have a solution, every one should have chill pill and go and watch a good Kushboo movie.

Sir gazzab karing aap to...kuch naya daliya bhai. teen sex to aapke page se ja hee nahee raha
I don't know the Indian judicial system, but it sounds like there may be a potential conflict between the Tamil Nadu law under which she's presumably being tried, and the national constitution? In cases like that in the US, it will sometimes go to the Supreme Court, where a state law may be ruled unconstitutional. I'm simply assuming there are free speech laws on a national level, which should perchance take precedence over provincial (as I presume this may be) laws. That's merely a legality question mark.
Culturally, well ideally she may have an opportunity to clarify her thought. Traditional societies go through many growing pains; the chaotic forces of contemporary world culture create many eddies & confusions. One hopes that the good woman may present an argument satisfying to the presiding judge. Such a courtroom drama could then make a good Tamil movie. ;-)
cheers,
