NEW DELHI: Representatives of the Rashtriya Swayamsewak Sangh (RSS) have been holding meetings with officials of online streaming platforms such as Netflix and Amazon to restrict ‘antinational’ and ‘anti-Hindu’ content on shows and urge them to show content that “represents real Indian culture and ethos.”
RSS representatives have held over six such informal meetings in the last four months in New Delhi and Mumbai, an insider told ET. Incidentally, information and broadcasting minister Prakash Javadekar had recently said the government had sought suggestions from stakeholders on how to deal with the issue and the Film Certification Appellate Tribunal has scheduled a meeting on Friday to specifically discuss regulation and certification of content on online curated content providers (OCCPs) with stakeholders.

Side Note : ET has learnt RSS has unofficially urged VoD service providers to also show content that brings out the “brighter side of India.”
