Nudity and Indian press

I am an Indian worried about the nudity that comes with the daily newspapers at our homes. Now the vulgar literature that has started following seems to be an additional bolt in the grave of the Indian Culture and Society's moral ethics.

The material, which should have been termed as "only for adults" and should have restricted access, is made openly available at our doorstep.

The contents of some newspapers are not only vulgar but also very much provoking and is in fact directing the mentality towards open sex, which is not acceptable in Indian society. Articles focusing towards the ideas like "How to provoke him/her?"; "To have sex with more than one is not a problem" ; " Women shouldn't be shy of accepting how many men she slept with?" ; "How to arouse sexual feelings in your counterpart?" and several such articles or even more objectionable pieces figure out almost daily in the newspapers. This is really posing a big threat to our society. It is misguiding the youth and motivating them towards illicit sexual relationships. This should be considered as an offence and should be immediately and unconditionally stopped. It is hurting the Indian social values, moral, culture and traditions.
