India's Supreme Court has deferred hearing on a petition seeking a ban on pornography, drawing parallels to Nepal's recent Gen Z protests. The petition requests government action to restrict access to pornographic content, especially among minors, citing concerns about widespread digital availability and inadequate protective measures. The court has scheduled further hearing after four weeks, as the petition presents alarming data about pornographic material circulation in India.
