FTV banned in India again?
- Status
As far as the question of banning soaps goes, we don't have a chance. It's not about what the complaint should look like but more about how many really try to complain. You see, most of us don't realize that the soaps are primarily projected towards a predominantly female audience that don't have much else to see(or maybe they have so much time that they are happy to have those daily dozen soaps coming at them). Those who hate the soaps simply don't have to tune into them, and sadly this is a very small number which counts for nearly nothing when pitted against the soap addicts. Coming back to the banning of FTV, is it a fair call? I don't know. Unless this specific controversial show (Midnight Hot) has been aired in the prime time viewing hours(as opposed to late night), for which the concern of the complaining public is understandable - no one really enjoys having their 'unsuspecting' wards tuning into shows on television that they're not supposed to.

^ You never saw midnight hot? Oh man you missed some nice stuff 
It didn't come in prime time...midnight hot meant midnight so its obvious that action from the government was really uncalled for and these daily soaps show women in much more derogatory way then any fashion tv stuff. I mean one woman trying to steal another woman's husband...then latter one crying her heart out like some spineless creature and what not. Is this not derogatory? That is how we want our women to be? Or precisely, that is how our "government" want our women to be? We really need "V" from "V for Vendetta" to deal with our current government.

Seriously man, its easy to ban FTV because in India only a very very small segment watches FTV. Easier said than done, just imagine the crowds of Feminist and women rights activists who would like to give you a 'friendly visit'.
And frankly all of those who are blaming the govt of being the moral police, how many of you have the guts to go and appeal in the court against the ban?
Go to I&B ministry and file an application as per the RTI to know the reason why they banned FTV.
Go directly to SC and file a writ petition that your Fundamental right to freedom of expression has been arm twisted by this act.
Remember that a lot of people still do not have cable connection in India, they still have to watch the Govt propaganda called DD.

There is no sex content on that show. It is a Fashion channel, not Sex channel.

Designers test around with concepts and believe it or not, in developed countries people wear designer dresses to parties and social gatherings. And if I were to go grocery shopping, the only thing I'd wear is casuals, that isn't what fashion inductry is about.

Agreed, I wondered if nudity was such a problem why don't they do research in AIIMs so that babies are born wearing burkas? And what do they do about nude street beggars and children running around, who risk getting abused. We live in a sickly hipocritc nation.

Probably parents who are so IQ challenged that they can't block their children from watching a channel. I have a simpler solution for them, ban cable TV for stupid parents.

I don't have any experience or I've never seen any programs on social gathering (of Developed countries) where women wear those kinds of weired dresses. Of course they do make some good clothes but majority of them failed to cover up females private areas. And if you think appearing half naked in a party or wearing a weired dress which does not suite the party environment, is being social, then believe me its NOT.

Wandering in time...
The Information Ministry is just trying to impose itself...
Otherwise why has the decision come so late...the show is going on from months as far as I have heard..

Yes, how many clothes are there in FTV which were displayed and do not cover private areas?
There are parties and social gatherings where the theme is such that if you go in your tuxedoes you will be quite out of place, the usual crowd wears the kind of clothes shown in FTV. What you believe is irrelevant to the patrons of such parties because that would be their least concern.
Secondly, I know not all of the FTV dresses are wearable but we also know these are concepts, which later merge into practical and party dresses.

Actually our government does not like a healthy development of mentality, it would rather have us shouting campaign slogans and vandalising public property during elections.
And forget adult programs, out government has banned two PG-16 level entertainment channels.

Cloths do not make us any more social than those without the luxury. Clothing, in fact, harms social values - for it emphasizes on individuality. That's the reason many institutions like schools and the defence forces enforce formal "uniform" clothing.amitava82 said:
That aside, fashion shows are merely erotic parades for a certain "elite" class, devoid of the pleasures a common man can have. I don't enjoy the heartless show of skinny anorexic walking skeletons with artificial smile on androgynous faces, but that's just me. Moreover, it's only sexism to praise bare-chested men but chastise women for the same. I think of a human [female] body as a work of art, and you don't cover Monalisa with rags all over.
