Censoring Kashmir

Censoring Kashmir A G Noorani By referring an item on Kashmir in the December issue of Eyewitness, the video news-magazine, to the home ministry for clearance, the Board of Film Censors has pronounced its own unfitness for performing the task assigned to it KASHMIR brings out the worst in the Indian political system. Mention the name and hackles rise to devise varied forms of repression. This is not to deny that it also evoked an entirely different reaction from persons like Jayaprakash Narayan and Mridula Sarabhai. They were committed to the people of Kashmir. Very many in our country are concerned with the land alone. They care not a bit for the people of Kashmir.
