TIMES OF INDIA: Freeing The Films

After months of tragicomedy at the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC) under Pahlaj Nihalani, there is a happier ending in sight. Shyam Benegal, well-regarded विचार for his rational समझदार outlook  दृष्टिकोण  and filmmaking excellence, has been asked to head a committee to reform the board.
Across different dispensations वितरण , film certification committees have been a platform for political favourites rather than a board that reflects the diverse  विविधतापूर्ण sensibilities  संवेदनशीलता  of modern India. It has often chosen to play glowering आँखें तरेर कर देखना moral guardian rather than labelling films by content and letting audiences make informed decisions. This time though, under chairperson Nihalani, the board has really hit the headlines for aggressively cutting films to fit its shrunken सिकुड़ा हुआ `sanskari' template नमूना  . For example, a kissing scene in the James Bond film Spectre  साया  was heavily censored even though kissing has become increasingly common on Indian screens.
     CBFC also hacked अनाधिकृत प्रवेश its way through Angry Indian Goddesses, bleeping out words it didn't like, deleting scenes, thus undermining this feisty अधिक शक्तिशाली film even after giving it an A certificate. The Cinematograph Act is rooted in a colonial view of audiences as infantile  बचकाना. Even after Independence, the state used this law to crudely  अनगढ़ तरीके से interrupt हस्तक्षेप  filmmakers' artistic vision, often changing endings and forcing scenes to be reshot. The way forward has been laid out by the Mukul Mudgal Committee: move to a tiered, age based rating system. For instance, in the US, films are labelled G for general audiences, PG for parental guidance, NC-13 for adults only , and so on ­ rather than the certification agency playing censor and parent. Serious reform would also change the way screening committee members are chosen, and give greater powers to the appellate  पुनर्विचार संबंधी tribunal  कचहरी where disputes are resolved. It is about time CBFC stopped trying to cover the eyes and ears of Indian audiences.

Worry About Coalition  गठबंधन Coherence सुसंगति in Bihar

The people of Bihar worry about Jungle Raj redux. The leaders of the Grand Alliance -the RJD-JD(U)-Congress combine -should worry about keeping the alliance  गठबंधन  intact विना बिगड़ा हुआ and avoid squabbles तकरार. The people of Bihar voted for the Grand Alliance in the belief that they would get the good governance that had become Nitish Kumar's trademark  व्यापार चिह्न . It is, therefore, incumbent सहारा लिये हुए on the alliance to deliver on its promise.
The alliance must evolve  विकसित करना a mechanism to insulate आवरण चढ़ाना governance from internal squabbles तकरार. The onus दायित्व  for this rests on each member of the alliance; however, since Lalu Prasad Yadav's Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) is its biggest constituent, the burden of responsibility for keeping discord असामन्जस्य in check rests with it. For RJD, especially for Lalu Prasad Ya dav, the 2015 Bihar elections was a wind fall. Returning to power after a decade in the wilderness निर्जन प्रदेश, the temptation प्रलोभन  to make most of this opportunity is great. Lalu Pr asad, whose family firm the RJD is, must keep his party in line for he has the most to lose if the Nitish Kumar administration gains  मुनाफा the reputation for poor governance and is seen presiding  संचालन करना  over another edition of jungle raj. Lalu Prasad too needs to be circumspect  होशियार in his comments on chief minister Nitish Kumar's working. As evident  प्रत्यक्ष recently , comments by Lalu Yadav led to counter responses by the JD(U) and eventually आखिरकार trading of charges and counters by alliance members.

Working together is unlikely to be easy for the members of the Grand Alliance, given their adversarial  विरोधात्मक relationship. The desire आकांक्षा to increase their sphere  क्षेत्र  of influence will have the parties going up against each other constantly . But elections are still years away, and it makes sense for the alliance to focus on improving the lives of the people of Bihar instead of sniping  काट डालना away at each other.
