Abstract
Pornography, the word itself is in India a taboo no one is comfortable talking about. All a layman in India understands about porn is shady videos of men and women in a dark room either captured or published without the consent of the participant in the so-called porn video. Pornography itself is a huge industry in the world and has been successfully recognized by several nations around the world. But in India even watching porn is considered a social crime. The Indian administration has to date banned over 3,500 porn websites in the country. Yet, India ranks third in the world, followed by America and Britain, in terms of consuming pornographic content. An adult at the age of 18 is considered mature enough to choose a government for the nation, is considered mature enough to get into a consensual sexual relationship with a partner but, watching the same act on a screen is illegal and punishable according to the Indian Laws.No doubt criminal minds responsible for publishing videos either captured or published without the consent of the parties involved in the film should be strictly penalized but instead the innocent victim of such publication are victimized and made to face social and legal harassment.
