Why a Ban on Porn is the best thing to have happened to India

Google images

United Nations has warned that India's population will rise faster than expected and beat China by 2022. Since our government is always in a hurry to achieve the unachievable, it promptly went ahead and banned over 800 porn sites. With so much spare time in hand, men and women will be forced to procreate to pass time and India will breach the target sooner than expected.

Thanks to their initiative, all of India, including the ones who never watched porn, now have a comprehensive list of 857 sites where they can watch porn.

30% Indian women, who according to a study watch porn online, are heartbroken. BJP spokesperson Hard Kaur Prawn Khanna has announced that the government will soon be coming up with a rehabilitation scheme for these women. An undisclosed source has claimed that it’ll involve watching a skimpily clad Baba Ramdev trying to kiss his own butt in a loop. Once satisfied, women will no longer be forced to ogle at hungry for attention men in shorts and tight shirts.

Now that Ministry of human resource and development is claiming Kamasutra is a book on Geometry since all it talks about is tryangles, youngsters will now have to rely on Chetan Bhagat books to educate them about sex.

Even though a majority has strongly condemned this ban that has deprived them of not only of achhe din but achhi raatein as well, all I see is the bright side. With no porn to watch, terabytes of data will be freed. Service providers like Airtel won’t have to hang their head in shame while claiming to offer broadband services. Teens will no longer be compelled to wait for their parents to go to sleep before they can switch on their laptop and log on to YouPorn. Parents can now walk into their progeny’s room fearlessly. Aunties can take a break from being every horny manboy’s fantasy and go back to their mundane existence. And men searching for Bong babes in sleeveless blouses can start visiting my blog again.

The government will not have to Google for 1001 flimsy excuses other than crop failure for farmer suicides. They can coolly blame the absence of porn.


Since it has emerged at least 2,50,000 attempts to visit porn websites were made on parliamentary computers last year, I am hopeful that our venerated MP’s and MLA’s will not be forced to stage a walkout for a porn-break.

Of course, there are some major concerns. It is learnt that Siemens has sent a letter to the government asking if they can expect a ban soon. Men named Hardik are wondering if they will have to apply for an A certificate. Since missionary has Christian connotations, couples are frantically enrolling for Baba Ramdev’s yoga classes to get more flexible.

Getting laid was never this strenuous.

Kamlesh Vaswani, the man who filed the PIL to ban porn is a happy man. With one swipe, he has got rid of pornography that’s worse than AIDS and Hitler put together. Thanks to his ceaseless crusade, innocent, susceptible, vulnerable women and children of India can breathe easy and access sites without fear of pop-up ads that show naked immoral men and women.

Now that India’s youth will be freed of the scourge of online porn, they will make better use of their hands and file public litigations against anything that irritates them – tolerance, respect, freedom to choose, personal liberty, the ability to laugh at oneself…The list is endless.

Since the government is training 3,000 beggars to sing paeans to Swachh Bharat, Beti Bachao, and other campaigns on local trains, I am hoping to bag free rides on Air India after writing this article. In fact, the government was so moved by it, they announced a partial lift on the ban even while I was writing it.

India can now feast their eyes on rustling sheets and imagine the rest of it.

  1. Wonder why they can't think before imposing ridiculous bans. Wasn't child pornography banned already? Such confusing signals, U turns and knee jerk decisions have made them a laughing stock.
    You said it in your inimitable style.

    1. Especially ridiculous for a govt that harnessed the power of the Internet for its electoral win. They are now doing their best to control it.

  2. Now what will people do with their high speed internet? kitni bright side dikhai hai aapne. And that too banning 800 sites when there must be more than 10,000 out there. Banning, it seems, is the favorite word of this government. Nicely done Purba Ray.

    1. They will hunt for more sites that can be banned for the sake of the greater good of the nation.

  3. Because the parliament is disrupted, our honorable peoples representatives were unable to watch P0rn in there. So the ban was imposed so that the MPs and MLAs can go on a foreign TRIP to watch P0rn. Everybody is happy except the telecom companies... who are loosing on data revenue...

  5. The government doesn't seem to know what it wants to do. It would seem that we need to advise them on what must actually be done to offset the evils of porn. By the way, I too wrote a post on this.

  6. Haha ..this is pretty funny. Actually the ban was imposed to prevent MPs from watching porn in the parliament.

  11. I wish some politicians had their brains in the right place.What are their priorities?
    Even after all the outcry over Jyoti Singh Pandey's horrible torture I see numerous cars with the black film on--for example.Is it so difficult to ensure that this simple law is adhered to?

    This one had me grinning from ear to ear--
    skimpily clad Baba Ramdev trying to kiss his own butt in a loop.

  13. Loved the post.

    Porn was never discussed or written about before the ban. The ban has given it a special status and it's there on everyone's lips.

    1. I think they should ban their cloying concern for us. We are adults capable of deciding what's right and wrong for us.

  18. Kamasutra as the book of Geometry. Wonder why I never studied that in my Maths classes :-D What is to follow next? :-D

  19. This is what happens when people in high places have muddled priorities, as if by banning sites a panacea to all ills was found! Really sorry state of affairs!

  20. Ah.. Another ban! This time where it hurts the most.
    Well, Vir Das summed it well when he said 'Banning stuff is like India getting her periods.. Once a month, without fail'
    What does this ban plan to accomplish?
    What is the government trying to stop?
    Aren't there larger issues that need the
    government's undivided attention?
    The reality is-
    This ban cannot stay for long because it infringes on personal freedom, because people will always find ways to circumnavigate to get things that banned anyway.
    Because there are way too many things wrong with the way government finds something offensive so often.
    We elected them to lead us, not babysit us.

  33. I believe that porn should be banned around the world, through this we can protect our children's mind from engaging to sexual activity at an early age. Me and my colleagues from http://www.urgentessaywriting.com/write-my-essay-for-me has been pushing this porn ban for a few years now in our country.
