Ten bizarre things you must know about the anti-porn petition

The original writ petition filed by Kamlesh Vaswani to create and regulate pornography laws in India has some of the most ludicrous sentences to have ever been formed in human history. These are actual excerpts from Kamlesh Vaswani v Union Of India and ors (2013).

1. Porn is Hitler, Hitler is porn

"It is so terrible that many do not even recognize it until it is too late, and most refuse to admit it. It is worse than Hitler, worse than AIDS, cancer or any other epidemic. It is more catastrophic than nuclear holocaust, and it must be stopped."

2. The fundamental right to stereotype

"This petition is also filed for enforcement of the fundamental rights of 75 per cent of the Indian population including women/ Girls/ Children, (House-Wife, working and non working women, Students) as Innocent, susceptible, vulnerable women and children of India."

3. Business as usual

"Such uncontrolled display of porn advertisement banners usually come out while browsing the internet at home or business meetings and are sufficient to offend the people browsing internet."

4. No cause and effect

"The Delhi Gang Rape was committed with a paramedical student, wherein a minor was also involved, as the pornographic material is abundantly available cheaply in market through internet and porn videos, which need to be banned by imposing a exhaustive anti pornographic law."

5. The return of the plague

"Peace of mind, health and wellness, happiness and human potential are at risk, and there is a plague worse than any we could imagine which is near if not at the heart of this, and that is pornography."

6. The long and short of it

"It build the confidence among young children, and students, that it is legal to watch long porn videos/porn clippings through smartphones and laptops .Petitioner contacted many IT experts and came to know that more than 20 Crores long porn videos and porn clippings are available in Indian Market through overseas countries, where also watching porn is not an offence.

7. Death by porn

"Pornography is like moral cancer that is eating our entire society at every second across country. It was also described as a trade more deadly than potassium cyanide."

8. Fifty shades of how on earth

"Pornography literature seeks to confirm that people are objects. It confirms that people are capable of being sold and bought in the market."

9. Porn and Parliament

"Moreover Indian govt is earning revenue through credit cards and other Monetary Transaction Modes as many of the porn websites demand online payments through credits cards and to encourage those payment websites with the help of internet service providers and Indian broadcasters...."

10. Killer stuff

"Most people know someone affected by this plague, the worst killer that has ever been devised."
