Censorship
and Litigation
In keeping with the uneven nature of India's democratic institutions and its
sharply divided polity, bouquets have been accompanied by brickbats. Virtually
all Anand's films have
faced
State
censorship.
Several
have also
incurred the
wrath
of
right
wing fundamanentalists both in India and abroad. Censorship has often led to
successful litigation against the Central Board of Film Certification (CBFC)
and against the national
public broadcaster, Doordarshan (DD) for refusal to telecast the films.
