more-inDoes the Information and Broadcasting Ministry (I&B Ministry) have the reputation of being the last word on middle-class morality, regardless of who its Minister is? The repeated telecast of this song was enough for the Minister of State in the I&B Ministry, who is now a very senior Minister, to shoot off strictures in the form of guidelines. The I&B Ministry in the UPA government said the channel was “likely to adversely affect public morality”. The I&B Ministry is a legacy of the British colonial government. She is just another Minister who is keeping the image of her Ministry and its legacy — a colonial legacy — intact.
