Letter to a magazine regarding the obscenity of features and photographs.

Sir,

Having being brought up by reading your magazine since my school days and now in my early forties, recommending the same to all my friends and well-wishers, it came as a rude shock when your last edition on pornographic movies was delivered to me by my vendor. I could not hide my embarrassment when my grown-up daughters were flicking the pages of the journal. There is no doubt that in India sex sells. But I am still in awe of what motivated a journal like yours, which enjoys a national status and a wide readership, to resort to such yellow journalism. In the future, you should keep in view of your loyal leadership like me and avoid such articles for the perverted mind, which can definitely boost your sales but lose you a good quantum of readers, who believe in investigative and authentic journalism. I’m sure that henceforth you will show restraint while publishing such derogatory articles that can put you into a low-level standard. I expect to see better articles next time.

Yours Truly,

Rama Pandey
