Why Moral Policing?

Two days back I read in News Paper that a few people threatened a girl for sitting in a guys lap. They warned her in the name of moral policing. I was thinking why moral policing and what is that? I feel moral policing is not something that started a few days back or few months back. Its been here for centuries. Moral policing is a new era coined term for controling peoples life in the name of religion or culture.

Way back to Jesus era, we know Mary Magdalene who was rescued by Jesus from the mob. Did he rescue her from a moral policing? There was time in European countries, they burnt women alive saying they were witches. Again its moral policing. In India recently few people beat women for indecent dressing. But these so called protectors forgot, in British regime only our women started to cover their chest.

Time keep on changing and so everything but not the views of these brats. How these so called protectors of religion or culture going offend these changes? We are wrong here. Certainly their views / strategies are changed. Now they are all doing all these stupid stunts aiming the votes of larger Hindu community and not to defend the culture.
