Did I say anything regarding culture? No...?

The more poly-racial it is, the better, obviously

I think that's better.

its not the act of exposing her body which is the achvievment but rather the boldness to go against cultural values and beliefs (something which should be done is a progressive, developing nation). India has many unique beliefs and values which are yet to be challenged (by doing such small, insignificant things) and when done so will be seen as an achievement (not by you perhaps)

to break this particular belief, yes. Posing nude is ideal. To break another social/cultural view belief could be something as insignificant as holding hands or sharing food with someone. Not really something big but in context would be seen as an achievement.

Alright, so if you eat your own faeces and put it on a magazine, would that be an achievement? It is after all considered culturally wrong or breaking a particular belief.

Why go so far; why don't you kiss your boss, paint someone's house pink, eat food without paying. Isn't that breaking a particular belief, social/culture?

I think you get the point.

it would be if eating faeces was a globally accepted practice and right of an individual. It would be an achievement if a society promoted themselves as a progressive, developing nation, yet deprived its citizens of certain rights and choices without fear of social stigma and ridicule.

same goes for your other points...

It's rare to be one without the other.

Not really. "Beautiful" women have class, a good personality and look good. "Hot" women just look good

So... posing nude in a magazine is a right for an individual and it's an accepted practice, globally?

You're just waffling on the second sentence and being incoherent.

well yes in much of the developed world (apart from non-secular nations).

So, this 'much of the developed world' you highly generalized considered it as an achievement? Something that's soo easy to do, you know... posing nude?

I wonder though why this 'developed world' that you mentioned also criticize those who do it? I also wonder why would it be harder to get a job afterwards after posing nude, you know, from this 'developed world'. It is after all their rights, as you mentioned before so confidently?

Here's some reality check for you Source 1 and Source 2. Wonder why such 'civilized' country would do these to its people.

criticism is allowed. People are for and against. People can choose to pose nude or not. The line of work which this indian lady is involved in does involve her sexuality. Its a increasing part of bollywood. Her small movie parts have all been about her assets and exposure of them rather than her acting ability! I'm sure it was a considered move on her part. Had this indian woman been a teacher, or other professional your point would have stood.

Well then, she has just closed a lot of doors hasn't she? And since you yourself have pointed, professions won't even consider her work as an achievement - and this is the whole point of the thread. Other professions will even react negative to it. Furthermore, since her job life span is quite minimal, she might not have anything to fall back to. Until it's a real accepted profession, she just made her life much harder.

There is a bit of difference. But you can get them both in one person.

very, very rarely.

what hes saying is girls you want to pick up in a club for a good seeing to are rarely the girls you want to introduce to your parents.

wtf are you on abou? This isn't about what "professions" think about her. Its about her posing nude in playboy and how this is challenging indian society and its long-standing views and attitudes. This woman is not a teacher, doctor etc... she is an "entertainer", a bit part actress and she sells her sexuality! That is her job! Get over the indian mentality of "jobb"/professsion, "doktor" etc - its not to do with that.

Not quite the definition of achievement...
