A couple of months back, a Bengali daily showed photographs of the murdered father and son and the pieces of their cut limbs. It was so pathetic and terrifying that I could not sleep for days. This has been continuing and there is no end to it. When we open the television the same kind of mutilated dead bodies of the criminals or the victims are shown.

I think that the photographs should be censored from now on. They should apply rating on the news, like we have in English movies, which can be a great help for the viewers. People abroad, who have recently become subscribers of the Bengali private channels, showed their concern regarding such display of violence and are in a dilemma now whether to continue with the channels or to quit them. I have talked to a couple of psychiatrists and they also showed their great concern about the matter. According to them, exposure to such violent scenes may leave an indelible mark on the children's minds.

I believe these TV channels and newspapers are causing great damage to our future generation. It shouldn't continue. Showing such things on the television or in the newspapers is going to stir the violent tendencies among the viewers. This is time to raise voice against it.
