India is a religious country and indians are quite sensitive on certain issues and becasue of which censorship plays an important role in our country. It helps in drawing the line and makes sure that we films are not something which could hurt the sentiments of any section of the population. India is a house to so many cultures, religions etc and hence it is our duty to care for everybody's sentiments.
Also, with time, our people's perceptions, attitudes change and censor board should adapt itslef accordingly and deliver an effective censorship.

We know what we are. Nobody has right to offend when we watch some sort of cinemas that contains violence and some scenes because we know our limits and lines. We know up to which extent we should watch and we are also not dumb that we can't understand what is good and bad for us. So why this word "censorship" comes into our mind. If we talk about the children or students then if we won't allow them for movies then also they will use the internet for watching movies because they are smart enough that we should not have to tell them any thing.

Censorship in movies and our culture must be diagnose with correct tools so that people can watch these with interest and rate it accordingly. Censor board if censor one part of movie then that is done in terms of protection so that people are not able to make any strike against bad portion of movie that they saw in that movie. Firstly, censorship needs to control the views of the people by adding their protective tools to the movies. Secondly, censorship is an add-on to the movies where people can easily judge these and rate it accordingly.

I strongly agree with Anchal. I think after globalisation, things have changed including the perception of people across the country. I believe we are now smart enough in distinguishing between right and wrong. Apart from this, for example if you see from a moviemaker's point of view, then you can easily feel that, change is vital in order to survive and compete in the global market. So finally I would like to conclude here by saying that, the role of censor board & other concerned authorities should be reduced at some extent.

Censor board plays a pivotal role in the outcome of a cinema in a good way.In olden days there rarely used to be vulgar scenes in a cinema. But things have drastically changed now. More time has been allocated for the scenes which effect human sentiments and which effect our culture. More number of vulgar scenes have been put up by the directors so as to collect high revenues for the movie.
I think this is high time for taking strict steps in the censorship board to save our future generation going in a wrong way.

Now a days, the movies are showing totally wrong face of the society by showing sex and kissing scene. These are the privacy of our society that should be respected. Directors have made a habit of adding some offended (so called hot scene) to earn a lot.
But how these get passed through censor board? It's corruption. Yes corruption! These days We hardly find a movie that we can see with our family. So The censorship should remove the scenes completely not partly. Then I will believe that the board worth existing.

I don't want that our sensor board should restrict to only cutting vulgar scenes, but it should be something more beyond that.
Because we, all most all, like to watch movies. It is true that it really affects on our thoughts and behavior.
Our culture has given ethics and basics to be followed to become a good person and if a movie is providing something against those ethics then that should get banned. Because it's something by which you can pass on the message or affect large amounts of lives.

Hello friends.
I have gone through each and every post. Well. Censorship is doing its job well what it is supposed to. But regarding our culture it depends upon our moral values how we take it and are not affected by the content shown in abc movies. Though we can't blame censorship in any aspect because what the children are not supposed to see they can go through it by the common sources of technology i.e. internet, smartphone in a very easy way. So its up to our mentality how we are taking it.

Censor Board plays an important role in the quality of todays movies. Nowadays movie makers are targetting for money only not for giving a good movie or message to society. They showing more glamor and attracting youth and making profits.
Censor Boards are nominated for providing certificates to the movie whether it suit for all age or for adults. So it helps to know what kind of movie it is one important thing is it slowly decrease the quality of films and spoiling youths and culture.

The deletion of vulgarity is NOT the sole purpose of the censor board. Rather it is to supervise cinema content as being appropriate to its viewing population. Therefore instead of focusing on vulgarity (whose degrees are highly subjective, we should focus on the segregation of publics viewing cinema content and enforce rules which set a clear distinction between the publics and accordingly allow content to be viewed, advertisements to be published and followed in all viewing halls.
