Is ‘Tandav’ row a fresh call for OTT censorship?

By Natalia Ningthoujam New Delhi, Jan 20 : The Tandav row has once again brought to focus the debate over whether OTT content in India should be censored. While many netizens support the idea, others wonder if censorship is the only way to end controversy.
Tandav, a drama series set against the backdrop of politics, was recently slammed by several people who claimed that it provokes communal disharmony and hurts sentiments of the Hindus.
“I urge honorable Minister Shri @PrakashJavdekar, please ban Tandav web series and order to make all webseries under censor board. #BanTandavNow,” tweeted one user.
Another wrote: “IB ministry should stop broadcast first n ask them to get censor certificate. Infact IB should constitute a separate board for censorship for all the OTT content.” Another netizen simply said: “CENSOR OTT PLATFORMS!! #Tandav.” One went on to suggest: “There should be a censor board for OTT, Tandav has crossed all the limits.. Agenda driven show by director and producers of the show.”
