5. Deodatta V. Shenai-Khatkhate:

   Intolerance to Public Display of Affection (PDA) is not new to Asian cultures such as those from India and China, which have a great history and noble heritage than many others. The Public Displays that are not-so-welcome include kissing, holding hands, hugging, whispering, or touching body parts of each other's in a manner that can be perceived as lack of decency and morality. The jury is still out whether or not Public Display of Affection should be accepted and tolerated. The challenge is to differentiate the PDA that emerge out of love and affection from those out of sexual passion and lust....the former is more noble, being based on love; and hence can probably be tolerated in any culture IMHO.
