India bans telecasting of Shin Chan
The ministry believes parents are worried about the unruly comments and acts shown on the Shin Chan cartoon show. The cartoon series shows a naughty five-year-old boy making the life of his parents miserable.
The information and broadcasting ministry (IB) has banned the cartoon series on grounds of undesirability of its content.
The Hindi version of the Japanese manga and anime series kicked off on Indian television in 2006, after having garnered popularity in Europe, Latin America and the Far East.
The character’s mischievous acts had made him popular among kids in the country. In December 2006, the number of Shin Chan viewers, in the age group of 4-14, was a whopping 32, 91, 000, making it the most watched programme on the Hungama, the television channel that aired the show. Experts believe Shin Chan’s reach rose to 50-60 per cent by early 2008.
The ministry believes parents are worried about the unruly comments and acts shown on the show. The cartoon series shows a naughty five-year-old boy making the life of his parents miserable.
"It is good the ministry banned the cartoon. The series was having a negative impact on kids. The character does things which are prohibitory in India," said a mother of two.
Anxieties of Indian parents are not unfounded. Consider this: Shin Chan calls his mother "bacche churane wali moti budhiya" though she is neither old nor fat. In another episode, when his mother asks for a choco chip cookie, Shin Chan refuses to share it with her and replied to his mother’s question: "Itni kanjoosi tumne kahan se sikhi," with, "Tumhi se, mom."

Please get rid of Shin Chan. It's not really meant for kids, let alone Indian kids.
There was a time when UTV managed Hungama TV by themselves.
Whatever happened to all the good cartoons like Kochikame, Wheel Squad and Ultimate Book Of Spells?
Whatever happened to the live-action shows that UTV used to produce for the channel? They may not have been successful, but the company can always try again on their own with a more original idea and better actors.

sinchan should not be banned... its a nice show of a smart little boy.. many show comments subtley on elders... instead the saas baahu serials which childredn watch and inflicts lot of more violence on thier mind... and children these days are much smarter to know what ot watch and what not to ..

its meant to b taken in good humor......i am a huge fan of shinchan and i dont think der is anythin wrong wid him...if u banning shinchan u mite as well ban lot of saas-bahu crap that kids are addicted to and pick up nonsense frm there...atleast this kid is innocent and not indulging into some saas bahu or balika vadhu nonsense.

â??Sinchan â?? is a best creation, Best Observations of a very naughty boy, itâ??s the best cartoon than any other programmeâ?¦â?¦It should not be banned by giving reasons like social concerns..i think child should be naughty and parent must be capable of controlling their childrenâ?¦..there are a lots of serials parents watch on TV in front of children which are actually creating a negative/ill/antisocial impacts on kids â?¦â?¦so before banning Sinchan, all other anti social serials, horror serials, murder serials , showing adult certificate movies on TV and each & every news channels (except Durdarshan) should be bannedâ?¦otherwise it will be a biased decision for Sinchanâ?¦.and the fans will never forgive The information and broadcasting ministry (IB)

shinchan is the best cartoon inthe cartoon history for chidren to teens .And i'm here to parents that if your child gets a bad impressions that's ur problem why should other children suffer if ur child is learning not us . So, dont allow to watch them or u (parents ) only dont watch it why should ban for others
Rani Eknath koli

MARIA PREMA VANAKKAM

DMR Panda
shinchan is an adorable character. It is we adults that are bad.
ranjit
this is not good i want shinchan back plzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Shinchan Should not be banned. Its a very refreshing and entertaining show.
If you don't like the content, then just don't watch the show.
People opposing broadcasting of such a nice show should think about deeds done by VHP or so called samaj sudharak people and parties. Who the hell are they to tell us what we should see and what we should't.
Don't you think the decision should be left to viewers alone? Are they not mature enough, to decide what they should or shouldn't do, that somebody needs to show some stick around always.
alfred
shin chan is nt dat bad.....dont ban it..
pia walia
i think shinchan was very cute character on tv but his language was very bad and good for indian children india should ban it
fatema
Shin Chan was a cute five- year- old child but at the same time he used to speak absolute rubbish, he was an ill-mannered he calls his "bacche churane wali moti budhiya".In one of his episode his mother by-mistakenly had eaten his cake and then she went for shopping know that his mother han eaten his cake he decided to leave his house and go away.A five-year-old child leaving his house and going away'is it right and that also just for a cake.What will the young child learn from this?I ndia should BAN Shin Chan.
a
its the total mistake of parents they should have control on their children it cannot be done by banning the serial or censoring it
I hope the cartoon regains its adultery
anushka
wat d hell iz dis...is childrens r all gettin bad...den its der's prob...wjhy sud v suffer.i lo shinchan a lot....probably d bst cartoon...its jst nt shinchan who shows dese kinda stuffs...v r plently of othr cartoons too...why den only shinchan????
Dhruv Mahajan
Shinchan is very entertining.If the kids are adopting bad hbits from him parents should stop their chidren from watching it.Because of some children many children who do not adopt bad habits should not suffer.I is a ig injustice

What d hell is this yaar? If someone's child is misbihaving seeing Shin Chan then they must stop their children from watching it. And if tomorrow if children start doing acting like in horor movies, Will the ministry put a ban on these movies. Kya bachche Ekta kapoor ke T.V shows dekhke nahi bigarte. Kya from everything which we think the children will be misbehave from watching could be banned? That was an INSANE discision to stop Shin Chan. Then why d hell they how the ADS of CONDOMS? will the children not be asking there parents that MOM! what's a condom? What will u do then? Wil u stop these safety ada too? C'mon RE-THINk about this ministry.

Most of us grew up on Dennis The Menace shows and comics (I personally loved them) but this show definitely seems in poor taste. In a time of deteriorating morals the IB ministry has taken timely action. What is your opinion?

How does it matter now?!! Its as usual too little too late by the Govt. of India. The whole country has already seen the whole series. I've seen the episodes and its reruns (hundres of times!) with my kids.
Shin Chan

So what if the babus and netas of 'faltu' departments like Home, Finance, Defence and External Affairs go on feuding when they are not sleeping, encouraging the people to be 'self-reliant' enough to solve their own miseries? Kudos to the alert sentinels of ever-modern and ever-relevant Indian culture in I&B! BTW, is there any plan to ban telecast of Parliament proceedings or on channels that capture ministers mouthing obscenities in front of cameras?
