Censorship ends up being misused by governments. Self-censorship is the best. Long live the remote!

Ladies in the pub should not be a problem since they are free to do so in today's scenario. But doing wrong things is punishable but not in the way it was done in Mangalore pub. Much of the news coming in the news channel are too partial and just...

Shock for the Nation!!! (Believe it or not) Do you know that India is the richest country in the world! Right now, India is the richest country in the world! Wondering how? It's really amazing. It's due to Mr. G Vaidyaraj, who donated all his wealth, about which he actually did not know. He is a descendent of Raja Krishnadev Raya from Mysore district. For the last 300 years or so, three stones were worshipped in his house.But nobody tried to see what it was, except this person, who is a lawyer by profession. One day, when there was nobody in his house, he took the stone out to see what it was that they worship. Due to the dust deposited on it, from many many years, it looked only like a sim...

Hi Mr. Sujit, We both share one common quality. That is "love for Mother India". But the common ness ends here. I do not approve to spread unbelievable stories to display love for my motherland. Anyway, it makes an entertainable article.
Sapna Dixit  |  Commented  |  3 years ago
Read this one... The article says "The cost of single diamond exceeds the GDP of USA + UK" Well now, here's the thing. The GDP of the USA is $11.75 trilllion. The GDP of the UK is $1.174 trillion. Adding those together you get $12.984 trillion....

music is spontaneous creativity,  and censoring creativity is just like killing the sole of an artist. It depends on you what to hear n what not to.......you always have a choice for that so enjoy what you like and ignore what doesn't suits you

the internet accessing community is wise enough to decide what's worth watching , it curtails the view power to adult content by some one feeels to have a look at it , instead measures should b taken to prevent these accessions by non- adult users!!

Resmi Maxim  |  Added idea  "there should be predefined norms to control the disparity in visual media entertainment"  |  2 years ago
The norms should clearly indicate the "can and cannot" so that it would become bound by a legally recongnised standard.

Certainly yes!! Most of the programs that are aired in India are not original, but are a copy of the programs aired in USA or other countries, which do not really need any checks or censorship looking at their culture.  India is a different...

India is a democracy, and that too, a growing one. People, here, want freedom of choice. They should be allowed to see all the programmes with various type of contents. If there is something objectionable, people have the freedom to skip that...
