And please stop asking people to respect our 'conservative' culture.
Ir took me a bit to try in put this in terms that isn't argumentative or contradicting you, so here's hoping I've managed it to some degree.
In regards to respecting...my point there is a bit more than just in regards to the perceived notion of India's culture. Yes, it's specific on this case, but the point over all that I'm trying to make is in regards to any place Americans (or anyone, really) go, which is 'be careful of what you're doing when you're abroad'.
Doesn't matter what place you end up, the culture, or whether or not it's an entire country or just a very vocal minority that gets upset when folks don't pay attention. Point is; err on the side of caution. It's respectful, and it keeps things like this from even being available to be blown out of proportion.
Thing is? It seems so many people who are constantly in the limelight just don't follow this bit of common sense.
