"beside a signboard that maybe threatens the sovereignty of India"). And I would love to debate sometime on the reason that the CBFC and censorship are both needed for a country like India. My main contention might be that if you were made the CBFC chief, you might over time veer close to many of the same guidelines you currently demur at. Reality is that we need both the ultra-right Pahlaj Nihalanis and the ultra-left trenchant critics, since each offsets the damage that can be caused if only the other were there. That's how balance would be maintained.<br /><br />You can be very liberal with the rules/guidelines in a country where the general evolution of the population is very high. A simple rule like "adults should be left to decide what they want to watch" may not apply if the definition of adulthood is merely being over certain years of age. You do not put weapons in the hands of anyone who is over 18 years of age, assuming they'll use them judiciously - you do it when you have a certain comfort in their capability for judgement.<br /><br />But perhaps you know many of the points I would make, too.Kishorehttp://www.fullhyd.comnoreply@blogger.com
