Hi. Let me share impressions of my exciting first and only traveling to India, hoping not to offend some of the followers of Jainism in this soo exciting and colorful country. In general, I respect the faith of different religious communities and treat with respect their traditions and customs. Although they are only 0.4% of India's population, Jain followers number four to five million followers worldwide with about 14,000 monks, a large number of whom profess Digambara who are known to serve their religion completely naked. Of course, this is absolutely innocent nudity without any sexual context, which symbolizes renunciation of the material and exaltation of the spirit.. at least according to the Jains.
However, India is a rather conservative country, influenced by the puritanism of several groups, among them Islamic dynasties, the British conquerors and the Brahmin caste, under whose influence the government imposes many restrictions and prohibitions in this direction. Erotic shows and those with pornographic content, as well as such included nudity are prohibited. Even kissing in public is forbidden. Recently, many Internet applications have been banned, including Tik-Tok. In such a decidedly puritanical environment, it is logical to sharpen curiosity and interest in the forbidden, including nudity and its sexualization.
Imagine that quite unexpectedly this idyll of morality and chastity is disturbed by a Jain procession led by a dozen absolutely naked Jain monks. I confess I was shocked by the sight. To my surprise, none of the onlookers the procession passed by were surprised or annoyed, despite the crowd blocking all traffic on the already super busy street. Most of the passers-by, probably used to such a sight, simply passed by without paying any attention. Others, mostly women and young girls, found the event amusing, taking out their phones and taking pictures of the procession, focusing on the naked monks. Most of the monks were elderly men with a worn, ascetic look, but there were a few good-looking middle-aged men with a decent masculinity. Flacid uncircumcised adult penises, surraunded with natural pubic hairs. A completely authentic and unadulterated male nudity, as can be seen in any men's public bath, gym or pool locker room. Some of these men probably looked like the fathers and grandfathers of these young girls.
As the procession followed my direction I allowed myself to follow, keeping close to the vanguard of naked monks. I was struck by the behavior of several very young girls, aged around 10-13 years, who joined the procession unhindered, pushed through the crowd and paraded in close proximity to the naked men, not missing any opportunity to stare at their exposed genitalia. Most carried their smartphones and took every opportunity to film the naked men bodies and at close proximity. Sometimes, pushed aside by the crowd in the rapid course of the procession, they ran forward to overtake it, and to be able again and again to get a position from which they could obtain a direct and unobstructed view. I confess that I sympathized with and somewhat envied these innocent young girls who at the instinctive/knee jerk reaction seized the opportunity to satisfy their curiosity and experience a rare and exciting moment for them.
I will be glad if someone else shares experiences and impressions of a similar situation that they have experienced or witnessed.
I'm posting a video of a similar event that was legally uploaded to YouTube.
