Television agitates people and is regular fodder for politicians who think it is more deleterious to the nation’s health than substantial numbers of people doing without clean drinking water or going to bed hungry. That is not surprising, because TV and its excesses are more visible. The deprived do not live in our drawing rooms. But seeing that the nation is turning 62 and all that, I would argue that satellite TV excesses are something we are now grown up enough to digest. Or reject. As the good judges on the High Court division bench said, ‘In this land of Gandhi, it appears that nobody follows Gandhi… Follow the Gandhian principle of see no evil. Why don’t you simply switch off the TV? – Viewpoint of Seventi Ninan, Columnist
