अश्लीलता की समस्या

Summary

The text addresses two major social issues: abortion and obscenity. It condemns abortion, particularly sex-selective abortion, as a form of violence and a grave sin according to moral and religious scriptures. It argues that justifying abortion for population control unfairly punishes the unborn child for parental mistakes. The text criticizes the misuse of prenatal testing, originally developed to detect chromosomal abnormalities and genetic diseases, for gender identification, which endangers female fetuses. It laments that even in a scientific age, regressive attitudes toward girls persist. The Anuvrat movement, which advocates for ethical values, prohibits its followers from committing abortion, suicide, or violence, suggesting that widespread adoption of this principle could curb both terrorism and abortion. The second part discusses obscenity, defining it as language, behavior, or visuals that stimulate sexuality and are considered shameful or taboo in polite society. It identifies advertising, television, and cinema as primary sources of obscenity, criticizing advertisements for using semi-nude images of women to sell products unrelated to women, thereby undermining India’s cultural dignity. Television, originally intended for rapid communication and cultural propagation, now promotes distractions that disrupt daily routines and neglect of guests. Cinema, once a tool for knowledge and entertainment, has become commercialized and a source of crime and obscenity, despite censorship. The text highlights the dilemma of the younger generation, torn between the allure of luxury and the erosion of traditional values, while praising those who remain unaffected by obscenity. The Anuvrat movement is presented as a campaign for national character building, emphasizing heart-change alongside systemic change to address social disorders.
