India is in ban spree.
After Murugan's book, Shireen Dalvi's newspaper over Charlie Hebdo cartoon and India's daughter, now it is the turn of Debate over 'Mangal Sutra' in Tamil TV channel 'Puthia Talaimurai.
The channel had recorded a debate over the relevance of "thali" or mangalsutra - the chain worn by married Hindu women. The debate discussed how relevant is this, particularly in the case of estranged women or women who are abused by their spouses.
The show was about to be aired on last Sunday. But the channel received around 3,600 threatening calls. People were asking why does the channel question the thali worn by millions by Hindu women.Will the channel debate over burka worn by Muslim women or cross worn by Christian nuns.
The channel has decided to abandon the telecast of the program.
Long live democracy and freedom of speech.
