India plans to promote its films in a big way, taking them to China,
South East Asia and Latin America. Saying there was great demand for
Indian films in these countries, Union Information and Broadcasting
Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad assured all possible support to the
industry as "these films reflect our society in a big way."
Prasad asked private television news channels to exercise self-restraint
while covering riots and terror attacks, like that done by BBC, CNN, Fox
News and NBC. To drive home his point, the minister said during the
September 11, 2001 terror attacks in the US, the channels did not show
"piles of dead bodies or blood-soaked faces."
