Moral Police

I was reading this news, where our government has banned AXN Channel which was showing some adult program in the late night slot. Mind it the programme was not suggestive and nothing related to skimpily clad woman with inviting looks. It apparently only showed the world’s most sexiest ads which still are on a telecast or were shown in the past. Remember Axe effect ads I think they were pretty sexy and well made. Something on those lines just that they have compiled a few of them and made a programme out of it.
I am not for or against the government banning that channel, but I certainly feel before overburdening all of us with an extra overdose of sex and its substitutes. We need to educate the masses with some basis sex education. I don’t know why but in India, sex still is a forbidden topic although we are next in line after China in case of population explosion. Very very ironical. I always believed that its more fun to have the forbidden fruit, and do things which are generally not acceptable by the so called society. However by the time we realise the pros and cons of our eating the same, its too late. We’ve already done the harm and eaten the fruit. How I wish somebody was there to educate us regarding sex ke side effects than just saying its not good for gals before marriage. Nobody told us the logic behind it as to why we shoulnt be doing it and whats the harm in watching a porn or an adult program below 18.
Don’t you think its high time India came of age. Instead of brushing all these topics under the carpet we need to educate the generation and let them take a call. Just myviews.
