even if this body regulates TV content, they can only regulate vulgar scenes and over violence...they will not be able to control the promotional serials...

[quote]Let us hope that only conforming to pro government and ruling party policy and banning of sexual content are not the only concerns of the regularity body. What is required more is banning superstitious serials based on astrology and publicity of materials like auspicious rings, stones etc.

I agree! There is more necessity of banning such programes that emphasize more and more on horoscopes, birthstones, gadgets and jewellery to ward off so-called evil etc. etc. and the daily soaps that promote and magnify superstitions. This is only doing more harm than good by promoting importance of unnecessary rituals and even atrocities like committing child sacrifices. Suppressing sexuality would be a mistake in this era of open information, instead of banning serials with sexual content, there should be set different time slots like late night or should be made available on separate paid channels not accessible by anyone and everyone.

there should be single channel in which these all things are advertised unlike advertising in all channels.

In my opinion serials must be banned as it is showing more violence than movies.

It is good that there will be independent body to monitor TV channels. In this era when kids watch TV more than playing outside, it is the most important step govt. has taken.

banning the serials'that emphasize more and more on horoscopes, birthstones, gadgets and jewellery to ward off so-called evil' is not at all possible. this is an extremely sensitive issue.belisfs and religion are merely a matter of faith and can never be established/proven/disguarded in a court.such cases will always be in favour of the serial makers.

only option is to create awareness among people about such false beliefs...

exactly by putting ban on any serial or show won't bring the desired result and untill and unless we stop watching any show that encourage violence, it won't stop.

The undesirable serials and shows are interesting and hence people will see and spoil themselves and society. The TV programs containing superstitious materials in name of religion are like poison or opium. These need be banned.

You are right gulshanji it is became more and more like drugs now a days.The people is not living happily with out seeing serials.
