In my opinion, censorship is the need of the hour as the media is busy in telecasting and publishing useless matter. Some points to support my view are:.
1. Important issues are given less importance and trivial issues like celebrities marriage, celebrities lifestyle etc are being telecasted. Newspaper is also filled with rubbish, like minister having an affair, actress giving birth to a baby. These news are on front page and the news of national importance is hidden on inside pages.
2. Todays media is getting corrupt and is thus deviating from its original objective of telecasting and publishing truth, in place its showing the news in the favour of a person or organisation, which is bribing them.
3. Its publishing and telecasting the news with its own "add ons " to it, in order to make it more attractive.

What role the media is playing in our lives or in building up of a nation is no more a secret today. Be it the Anna Harare's Lock pal bill or the recent 16/12 case. The role that media had played cannot be ignored on any grounds. But the unfortunate fact is that today the primary function of media that is to deliver the truth has taken a backseat. Generally the main reporters being send to cover some major fashion show whereas the smaller ones are being send to cover the story of the suicidal case of a farmer. Has the media forgotten that its a news channel and not a fashion channel ?
Censorship is required to make media realize their long forgotten duty.

Media is the most powerful tool if people of the nation use it in a right way. Now-a-days there are very few news channels or paper which actually give us news and relevant information. There are some news channel which give us irrelevant news which do not increase our knowledge and they do it just to increase their TRP rate. Same thing is with the news paper. How many of us know about the news channels which give some informative real news. For such cases censor board should step forward and take initiative to stop such things.
Not only this there are some channels which are not at all informative and can deprive the mind of young ones. For them censorship should be used.

According to my view media plays an important role. It is boon of the world. Each and every information up to date and time we can get through media. But some bad things also there some channels which are there they diverting the mindset and habits of the people. Every child is edict to the television for bad things so if these are controlled by higher authorities. Media is good.
Thank you.
Thank you.

Yes, today censorship is the need of the hour, today everyone talks about corruption the top most issues and a challenge for India, which needs to be eradicated so that our country develops in a true sense. The different political parties playing political game in name of development has become a party game played in a parliament. When we talk of us, the youth would not like to participate in modern democracy because the people involved have made it dirty so friends lets think about it, listen some news about our politicians and the news of the happenings of political game thank you friends.

According to my limited knowledge that Media has been playing significant role in the Indian economy. It has rights to speak and publish the truth but on other hand sometimes media become part of Politician or high influence person base on Money or gift items. Media provides power of energy and rights to common man also where no listen to him but media listen everything and support them.
So in short media is the fourth pillar of the Indian democracy.

As we know media plays an important role in the well fare of the country. But it is not the case always. Sometimes it is seen that media is covering some baseless issues rather than going to the actual and valuable news. For example, instead of covering the current news of the city, some media covers the marriage ceremony of celebrity.
In India, one point should be noted that the media always keeps the sad news in the front line and all the inspiration to the back or in some portion of the middle pages. I don't know if it is due to the public interest or it is due to the trend going on. Sometime, it is more than surprise that some media reporting some unusual news as breaking news which is no important and should be in the fun category.
I do understand that media is having some important role to improvise the society and the life style of the people, but it would be better if media has to be revised.
Best wishes for better life.

Even with technology at its peak in the modern era worldwide it is not possible to censor selectively a part of the program being telecasted and leave the other. What needs to be done is to have a common voting between the younger generation and their parents about the possible goods and also ill-effects of foreign channels. On one hand, channels like Discovery, Animal Planet, Star Sports, etc. Provide us with the knowledge and entertainment not ever imparted by an Indian channel while on the other hand there are counter-parts like Fashion TV (still can be knowledgeable for fashion freaks) which are quite bad for kids in their developing age. I think the major topic for discussion should be the right age limit for viewing adult content as otherwise children ride onto such stuff at a much earlier age. So, a common forum should be set up between youngsters and elders on what to watch and at what age. Also, some relaxations should be given to the children. As otherwise, you know what happens (Anxiety Kills The CAT). This thing should always be kept in view. Rest aside, children should be let free to exercise and criticized in a very mild way so as not to let them feel that they are being pulled down or something like that. What I wish to convey here is that stop the children in the best manner possible and do not pressurize them at any stage as that can lead to more damage only.
I am done. Thanks a lot.
