Diwali is considered one the biggest festivals celebrated by Indians across the country and even abroad. The country’s passion for the festival is something that is commended even at an international level and is being acknowledged by unlikely sources. This report from the year 2014 by Pornhub proves that Indians believe in their ‘actions speaking louder’ than words.
The number of people watching porn changes depending upon events taking place worldwide and from nation to nation. These usually drop during certain festivals and holidays seasons. In this festive month of November, Indians seem too occupied by religious sentiments and celebration to give much attention to self-merriment. According to statistics from the report by the pornographic site, there is dramatic drop of 35.86 % in traffic from the country during Diwali, much similar to the kind experienced by the site from nations around the world during Christmas. Apparently Indians also seem to not watch as much pornographic content during the holy month of Ramadan.
While topics revolving around sex and sexuality are still not welcomed by the Indian public in conversations and discussion, statistics ironically show that the country comes third in the international ranking of having the most number of viewers of pornography and pornographic content. It was only last week that angered individuals from across the country took to different social media sites to express their dissent against the decision made by the Department of Telecommunications to ban 827 websites hosting pornographic content under the context of ‘shielding’ the Indian youth.
