TV and radio
Recently, the Indian information minister said that they would soon form a committee to look after the programmes of the television channels and the fm radio stations as allegations are rife that sometimes these television channels and fm radio stations broadcast such types of embarrassing programmes which go against the Indian culture and tradition. In the present context of our country, I also truly believe that we too need to form such a tv-radio censor board because these days most of the private television channels and fm radio stations are airing programmes with vulgar words and gestures which totally go against our culture. If we have a censor board to control the cinema, if we have the press club to look after the activities of the print media, then definitely we also need to form a committee to look after the activities of the tv and radio stations. There seems to be a culture of impunity prevailing in these sectors and therefore many radio jockeys these days are misguiding the youths with ill advices and TV stations are copying programmes being inspired from the west.
I thing enough is enough. The information ministry needs to form a tv-radio censor board in order to check the activities of tv and fm radio stations. None should be allowed to derail our youth.
