The decision in itself has been promoted by hardline Islamic elements who cannot ever have the openess to accept that there could be a world that may not replicate their own veiwpoints! But having said that let us accept that the so called serial business that exists in India is built on 'unmitigated sleeze' It is sad that that they are aired in India and worse that they get dubbed and sent across to the other countries. There is therefore some justifaction in the manner in which Afghanisation has clamped down on such airings ! What is farcial is that madrassa educated bloggers have jumped in asking for banning then in India . Not because they disgree with the content but because they must not be seen as differing from their Talibanized bosses! Wonder what they were doing when Shiv Sena etc were demanding a similar scaling down on Valantines day . Will they wait for their above referred bosses to react before they give their agreement. The government of India and those that set the tone in Bollywood ( not very different from the serial world ) should take steps to see that sleeze is not doled out in the name artistic freedom and with the sole object of making profits. The power of the Idiot box to contaminate must not be underestimated. As a nation we must debate this ... dont expect a Burqa Dutt to do a 'We the People " on this as she did for protests against the Valentines Day !
