How India is turning into a porn movie production hub

WTN- Porn sells but perhaps nowhere in the world, except in the most conservative of nations, porn is such a hideous business as it is in the Indian subcontinent.
This hideousness breeds curiosity and sustained interest in the ‘tabooed’ topic. Porn gets ascendency from the confused and uncomfortable relation we have with sex as a topic in the public domain.
We hush-up anything related to sex in our social discourse and look out for ways to wriggle out of the sticky situation. This shunning away and closeting sex in the cupboard leads us to be voyeurs, perverts, and porn addicts.
Being an excessively populated country, porn finds many takers, who satiate their unremitted sexual fantasies in the dark world of sleaze and sensuality. More the number of porn watchers, better it is for porn moviemakers.
With the advent of the internet and its growingly deeper penetration made easier by the widespread currency of smartphones, porn is a thriving business in the country. Lack of stringent regulations and monitoring mechanisms gives a free rein to porn movie producers.
Actors, role players and porn stars are easy to find in such a vast country where the lure of money can make anything happen. Even foreign producers come to shoot in India due to the availability of cheap hands and demand for Indian girls on the screen.
It is very difficult to ban porn. The government has tried in the past, but in some garbled form or in some other guise, porn always comes up. As long as there is societal complicity, porn will exist. Porn exists from ancient times and in the developed nations too porn exists. But being open societies, it is not such an obsession in those countries.
In the past too, even Indian society held a much liberal view of life and culture, which is why sex was not so much a shady and shameful premise as it has become now.
The more we hem in sex and shove it under the carpet, the more porn will find a flourishing breeding ground. We need to educate ourselves and evolve a culture where sex has to be seen like any other biological process which is good and important for survival of humanity.
It stops just there. There is nothing titillating or obscene about it as long as it is discussed in a democratic way with a mature and open mind. If elders and parents always hide any reference to sex, children too will do the same, and here begins the gradual foray into the world of porn. Information, when is in short supply, is started to be gleaned from material available on the net.
This trepid indulgence then turns into an addiction which is hard to come out of and escalates into dangerous experimentations. The porn film makers ensure constant supply of new material on all internet platforms and they thus find India the most lucrative ground to make money by luring young minds into the trap.
Unless parents and teachers bring out sex from the tabooed existence it serves and discuss things openly with their children and engage them in creative pursuits to channelise their libido, porn will keep on thriving as a vast underbelly of our social reality.
