India known for the values such
as non violence , tolerance to differing views , freedom in creative fields ,
peaceful coexistence in spite of
differences in culture, religious principles , languages and traditions looks
like changed nation currently. Fringe
groups have always been trouble makers. But, all along, they were insignificant
and could never become a threat to others lives and properties whenever,
creative works or personal practices were not to their liking. Of late they
have become very strong pressure groups in imposing their will on any activity
or personality or group .The main reason
appear to be the present government’s
silence over their atrocious actions . The film sector seems to be the main target of these fringe
elements. Any small group can stall a project if it is not to their liking. How
many groups will undertake the responsibility of censoring a film? How many masters the creators can please? The
government should give consideration for the huge investment and effort that
goes behind a costly project and the tax revenue they get from film industry
and protect their interest by banning the fringe groups from taking law into
their hands. Hopefully, the new India we are talking about will be not display
characteristics such as intolerance, restrictions on freedom of expression and
violence for differing in views.
