TwentyOnwards welcomes the philanthropy of Bill Gates and Bill Clinton in addressing India’s Aids crisis, but says that solving the problem will require more openness in India.:
Being a traditional society doesn’t mean that we cannot discuss sex openly, nor does being open mean teaching the KamaSutra just because we came up with it. Indian pop-culture shows our confused state of mind, where family values as well as sex sells.
The first step in fighting AIDS is accepting it as a problem and talking about it, which is not an easy task even here in the U.S. But, we are the ones in the adverse position and we still keep digging ourselves in to the hole, the longer we take to overcome this first step.
