Where is our "culture" bodyguards?

I read this very sorry story in Hindustan Times and was wondering where's our culture bodyguards and why they haven't crowed foul yet on IPL cheerleaders. When Shriya's attire was inappropriate (according to some attire police), they made a meal out of it. Similar fate for Shilpa Shetty when she got kissed publicly by Richard Gere.

We have incidents on women being attacked, even though they have not provoked anyone even a bit. In such a country, why would you make these half naked girls dance in public, when our countrymen until recently are used to seeing these type of dances only in rated movies. I was wondering how comfortable it will be for parents to take their pre-teen kids to these matches.

I have no idea as to why we need to copy western culture on everything. I don't want to sound like an oldie baldie, but we have seen on numerous occasions, our cricket fans show up for any "tamasha" match in large numbers in almost every single venue even without cheerleaders, supported their teams inspite of scorching heat, poor stadium facilities including food courts and toilets.
