I am closer to NOV's defn of Politically Correct - as in what is obvious from his choice of movie to represent the concept - in that it seems like politically correct is being interpreted close to the rationalist thought as prevalent in TN - in its purest form,and in some cases the extreme form as represented by Paalam and the likes and not as represented by the parties that have been in power from that movement.

But that is just another bandwidth of the political spectrum, isnt it? For instance, it might be politically correct to ridicule, even abuse Hindu Gods in TN but in North India, that would be terribly politically incorrect, leading to violent consequences. Or, for that matter, religion in general - going by the definition we seem to have here, it is ok to ridicule or reject religion but how politically correct would that be in America?
