Yo Yo Honey Singh

Honey Singh: not so sweet?

Good evening. This is india news hour. The biggest news of today is that Indians have finally found the culprit behind the ever increasing number of rapes. And as previously suggested by respected chauvinists and ultra sensitive nationalists it is none other than Honey Singh. He is the sole reason behind violence against the fairer sex. An FIR lodged against his name in Lucknow is indeed the first concrete step towards nailing him and ending this malice against women in the society. The 'misogynist singer', not surprisingly though, has denied all charges of 'misogyny' leveled against him. But of course who is he to deny the charges when the jury is already out against him. The claim of Honey Singh, who has also sung a beautiful track on Bhagat Singh, that he respects women and is a men of values was rejected vehemently by the saviors of our nation. Surely, he has deeply hurt the Indian values and disrespected women, it doesn't matter then that the lyrics of  the controversial song 'c***t' has been in public domain for, well, almost eight years now. May be like our courts, we needed time to understand the lyrics. Fine enough. Personally, I think all singers and musicians should by law not be allowed to sing anything other then singing songs in the praise of God, or politicians, or may be something which doesn't affect the sensibilities of Indians. If anything puts women in bad light (read as objectification) then it has to be the item songs of Bollywood. If they aren't offensive then nothing else is. Live the artist and let live the artistry.
