The problem is not with politicians but with the laws. Government can ban a book if some group threatens to stir violence in response, ditto goes with movies too. The Censor board has the power to suggest cuts just because the Censor Board people think certain portion is "immoral" etc. In that sense I don't think the board is corrupt. They are exercising the power they have. Indians don't have freedom of speech and right to property. Ironically first amendment to Indian constitution made the "right to speech" subservient to law. For example: You are free to say whatever you want as long as it is not violating some existing law. The solution here is that the common Indians need to learn a thing or two about what liberty means and recognize that the current constitution and law they are using to govern are exactly same as the British colonial masters. Since the liberalization in 1991, which basically increased economic freedom only a little bit has resulted into phenomenal growth. I only wish India could liberalize more and get more liberty protecting laws.
