Item numbers 

[caption id="" align="aligncenter" width="700"] Image source: http://drop.ndtv.com/albums/ENTERTAINMENT/decade-item-songs/mainimage.jpg[/caption] The government didn't hesitate even a bit before banning BBC's documentary "India's daughter" based on the Delhi Rape case. Then what is beyond my understanding is that why doesn't the government impose bans on item numbers? The logic that the government gave for banning the documentary was that it portrayed a wrong image of India. That it was meant to defame India. But, my dear government, would you be kind enough to consider the actual causes of defamation of our country? Item numbers objectify women. Today, even the kids sing item songs on the top of their voices. If the kids are taught to objectify women around them then we can only imagine the horror of them growing up. Those songs are not only promoted, they are used in every occasion possible. From marriage to funerals, item numbers have made their way in everything we can imagine. Thanks to Mr. Honey Singh! If the government really wants to stop India's defamation then it should ban item songs.
