Leave it to some DCUMers to take a mundane topic and turn it into a a snark fest.   :roll:

Maybe post your thoughts on modesty within Eurocentric Victorian and Regency novels on a thread that isn't about Bollywood.  European Victorian novels modesty is not anywhere equivalent to Bollywood movie modesty.  If that was your attempt at tongue and cheek, it failed.  Move on.

And yes, Regency and Victorian tropes are apropos to many Bollywood movies b/c it's a bunch of people sitting around being entertained by a young unmarried female:
