	Gender & Censorship by Brinda Bose (Ed.)
	Price : Rs 495.00
	Your Price : Rs 495.00

The debate on censorship in India has hinged primarily on two issues— the depiction of sex in the various media, and the representation of events that could, potentially, lead to violent communal clashes. Censorship was institutionalised by the colonial British government, and has remained a much-contested government institution. In a multi-cultural society with diverse tastes and moral standards, who is to draw the line? And what reasonable curbs can be imposed on the freedom of expression? Can artistic merit be conflated with public good? Is the urge to purge the public arena of unnecessarily prurient and lascivious images actually in the interests of women and of society at large?
