RSS forms panel to address cultural concerns over OTT content

The Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) has formed an informal panel to propose regulatory measures for over-the-top (OTT) platforms. The group aims to submit recommendations to the Union Ministry of Culture and other central government stakeholders to tackle what it describes as cultural pollution on these platforms.

The panel views OTT content as a source of moral corruption, particularly affecting families and the younger generation. It has expressed the need for a censor board or similar regulatory body to address gaps in the current framework. "The kind of things shown on OTT platforms are so disgusting that talking about it too would be indecent," said a member associated with the group. They stressed that regulation through law is necessary to curb this cultural pollution.
