RESTRUCTURING THE CENSOR BOARD, AND NOT ABOLISHING IS THE RIGHT WAY.

Abstract

There is a demand from the film fraternity that the censor board should be abolished. According to them, the censor board is hindering their creativity. It is not disputed that the current setup of the censor board makes them a puppet in the hands of the government and also lack of knowledge makes the board inconsistent, however the abolishment of the censor board will give rise to greater evils with may be detrimental to Indian society. The best way out will be to restructure the censor board and free it from the hands of the central government.
