Censorship – The Arts

Sanskar Bharati, RSS’s cultural wing, said in its letter that the event encouraged a rebellious attitude towards Indian traditional beliefs and societal systems.
A government culture centre in BJP-ruled Rajasthan on April 26 cancelled the permission it had earlier granted to stage a dance performance about same-sex relationship. The permission was cancelled after objections were raised by Sanskar Bharati, the cultural wing of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS).
The dance show, titled ‘Samaaj’, was supposed to be performed on the evening of April 26 at the Madhyavarti auditorium of Jawahar Kala Kendra (JKK).
