Hindi Movies; The Assam Tribune; Letters to the Editor; 14/11/03

Sir,
Through the columns of your esteemed daily I would like to express my opinion regarding the ban imposed on Hindi movies by ULFA and NDFB.
Hindi is our national language and it is our duty to respect our national language.Again, there are many Hindi speaking people in our State and it is not fair to deprive them from watching Hindi movies.
Instead of banning each and every Hindi flick, the ban should be imposed on the vulgar Hindi movies which cater to the vulgar taste.Films like Gadar,Lagan,Devdas are not harmful as there is no vulgarity in such movies.There is no justification in banning the 'A' grade Hindi movies.Instead they should ban the 'B' and 'C' grade movies which are leading the society astray.
Moreover, certain English movies portray more vulgarity compared to the Hindi movies. So why don't they impose the ban on English movies as well ?

Yours etc.,
Monalisa Biswas,
Rehabari, Guwahati
