Mr Anurag Shrivatsav, I think you are someone who grew up in Doordarshan era and it was called RajivDarshan, where all news against govt was blacked out. Ditto during emergency, when AIR broadcasted day in and day out, how people loved it.
Sorry Srivatsav, those days are all gone. We are in a free world and media cannot be a propaganda wing of your party (UPA) or your ideology (atheism). Everyone has free will to express. What is important is that people's freedom should be restrained, when they start hurting others' lives. Like this Khurana episode
You said that Channels that promote superstition should be banned... so you will next say that channels that talk about God and religion should be banned. In other words you want India to be an atheist state?
What exactly is your problem if i watch a program on my gods and religion? You can have your own chanel that glorifies your Atheism and worships atheist prophets like Periyar and like. Understand that superstition is more present in pop science and history. What about unverified facts like Aryan Invasion theory, why do channels talk about such things which are unproven? You will nto dare to talk about that. And remember that Science is not absolute, it keeps changing. Earlier they said that LIght travelled in ether, now they said that light waves also have mass , so which version will you ban in TV Channels? We dont want another Stalin or Mao in our country to tell what we must watch.
These channels have in the name of TRPs inciting people in the name of religion and spreading superstition. The crime programs are nothing more than sensationalisation - a TV version of Manohar Kahanian ... a mix of porn and news. I have nothing against either but the two must not be mixed because news channels do not come with child lock - adult content should be avoided there.
Most disturbingly - the news channels virtually incited people on the Ram issue and blaming government for inciting Ram.
Priyaranjan Dasmunshi must make sure he includes a ban on any opinion on TV channel or internet which is against secularism and promotes superstition of any kind. If needed , such TV channels must be closed or nationalised.
I would suggest there would be more peace in India if these channels are strongly controlled by central government. News must confirm to constitution . law and science.
Unfortunately - most of the "moral crusaders" focus on sex on TV which is the most harmless of all content there. During Rajiv Gandhi's time - we used to have real adult movies on TV after 10 pm - so we have really regressed in so many years.

Thank you, Anuragji. You have expressed what most Indians need to say. Let me add a single comment. There has been some types of conditional social reflections. Channels' queer behaviours are the outcome of severe unemployment among the media crops of people. Persons get easy entry to that area. Rabi Kanungo.

You are ignorant when you say "Hindi News Channel". Other regional Language news channels too do that. I know you are a strong DMK supporter, but DMK backed "SUN TV Group" of channels have done similar acts of instigating people in the past.
It is just that North Indians may not be aware of what happens south of Mumbai... So
