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."
