I somehow feel, none of us understand what democracy is. Expecially all of us who most of the time sit in AC rooms

@ Manav – thanks for reading the blog and for the comments. I addressed your comment in the other post (http://shripriya.com/blog/2007/02/19/censorship/#comments), but will address them here as well.

Yes, I personally found the ads distasteful. But I will also stand by their right to make the ads. That is not confused, that is ordering of principals. And I order free speech first.

Voltaire’s quote is the best summary: “I disapprove of what you say but I shall defend with my life your right to say it”.

I hope we can continue to engage in conversation on future posts

I find Shripriya a bit confused. I apologize for a personal comment but you donot seem to be having any ideology. On one had you didn’t like what Neo sports did. On other hand when a Regulatory Body (Ministry of I&B) took cognizance of public feelings and did something. You still have a problem. And I am almost convinced, if Govt wouldn’t have responded then somebody, perhaps you only, would have come back and said what the heck is Govt doing. After all it is by the people, of the people and for the people. So being a regulatory body it should be sensitive to public opinion.

I somehow feel, none of us understand what democracy is. Expecially all of us who most of the time sit in AC rooms, seem to have developed a tendency to comment on almost anything and everything; and believe democary is all about different opinions, counter opinions and more counter opinions. We somehow donot like any check or regulation. Pls note it is Democracy and not a synonym of In-discipline of any sorts.

I would have perhaps agreed with you if some religious fanatic organization would have done something in reaction to this. It would have been worth deploring because nobody can become self-styled ruler/regulator. But Govt ?? in this case. Arey its their job..otherwise who will do the moderation ??
