           DO WE NEED CENSORSHIP?


         

 Censorship means suppression or prohibition to any part of book, film, news, etc. which is unacceptable and is a threat to security. Although the Constitution of India guarantees the freedom of expression but it also places some restrictions on the content to maintain religious peace and harmony. But is censorship really necessary?
             
               Some say that it is needed because if censorship does not exist we can get exposed to many things. If it is not present, children see inappropriate content which have adverse effect on their minds. It can create a negative impact on minds of people. Censoring the content can provide stability to the society. It can also lead to violence in society.     
        
           
         The other side of this is that since internet has become widespread we can access to the porn or any such things anytime and anywhere. It limits our creativity and also hide truths. It also keeps us away from harsh but realities of today’s world. Any censored content can even be found somewhere else.

              Some are of the opinion that films should have censorship because audio-visual can have stronger influence than printed word. Censorship is a great tool if applied correctly, the question is how to apply it effectively. Total censorship and absolute freedom can both be problematic.

Agrarian Crisis

                  Agrarian Crisis                 India is an agrarian country. About 85% of the country’s population directly or indirectly depend on agriculture. However, despite being the occupation of such large population, the agricultural sector is facing many problems.                The low levels of technology, lack of irrigation facilities  and less use of fertilizers are leading to the plight of farmers. There are certain cases of farmer suicide due to unbearable burden of debt. Most of the suicides are seen in the areas of low rainfall and poorly irrigated regions. Another reason for this is shortage of money.                                              Many landless and poor farmers lack to invest in farming....
