Hear no OTT gaali, see no OTT sex
Gabbarment aa jayega. Well, Gabbarment of India is already making rounds around households that watch streaming films and shows, reportedly planning to bring in 'guidelines' (sic) that will 'beep out profanity and blur explicit scenes'.
One presumes this mai-baap plan is to ensure that the child-like people of Ramgarh that is India are not exposed to gaali or steamy content. If true, this colonial mindset that would have been thoroughly approved by Victorian Britons of a certain hypocritical class.
The belief (read: phobia) that adult Indians are indistinguishable from children who need to be protected from profanities and smut is as old as the ****ing hills.
One plus side of such a potential chaperoneship is that it will bring back some thrill to cuss words and sex scenes — something that for most people, especially the young, has become blase, and as plain as a foul-mouthed paratha in lingerie.
By beeping out profanities and pixelating erotic content, much will be returned to the imagination — something that may have been neglected in our rather ho-hum, 'everything is ok to be watched and seen' times. One would presume that our Gabbarment Singh hopes that this will entail a society that will no longer know how to give gaali or indulge in sanskriti-inappropriate sex. Mai-baap, pranaam.
