What was that interesting was what she was watching. Yes, you guessed
it: Star Plus, the channel which broadcasts all sort of specious
cultural values which arent even apparent from their real lifestyle.
All
the dramas seem to be for Venusians, telling them how can they advert
jeopardy in their houses, making them watch Copper (Graphite rather)
dreams with Gold on it.
The country where a person can kill his
hunger well for Rs. 5/-, where the highly paid Instructors salary is
Rs. 800/-, where there is a shortage of cloth to cover the body not
because of glamour but poverty, where people lives on streets
considering those as permanent homes, all of this is common not
exceptional in this country, talks about family businesses with monthly
turnover of Rs. 50,000,000/-. Believe me I am yet to hear amount less
than mentioned.
The financial condition of the country is what
is really disturbing me. Pakistan was separated from India on the basis
of Two Nation theory. The theory which every one obliged to, the theory
that stated the cultural or rather religious (Muslim culture is based
on their religion) differences between the two, and demanded
separation, being in accord with the theory. I think that the
differences still exist; had they been volatile, the separation wouldnt
have materialized anyway.
These Indian channels, penetrating so
called Indian cultural values in us, which we watch so closely: the
dressing is nothing close to what is done in Pakistan too much glamour
in things has been involved by virtue of which the local channels have
to introduce the same effect.
The children are learning to
question privacy. Hindu cultural and religious values have begun to
grow in our culture as well. Young children are seen saying Namashkar
instead of the conventional Muslim Salam. Also the factor of feminine
love is taking growth (only telling you my observation after the
channels started; women were already mad before this advent with due
respect).
The major disadvantages it can bring you is by
spoiling the generation and making them think irrationally. For
example, if a child questions something from those dramas, then are we
in the capacity to answer it. The daughters of this community have been
given a wrong dimension by this cultural war. Its infiltrating in them
the vulnerabilities of Hindu women. The censor board of India has
different policies which strictly conflicts with our cultural values.
The trouble is that the ethical education is fiduciary responsibility
of a mother, and of course, the mothers are getting excited with this
new adventurism. If the roots get excited like this, I wonder what
leaves we are going to see in the near future.
It was by time
that the government banned those channels in Pakistan but I dont know
why that ban was abolished; I think that the ban should be re-imposed
so the basis of Pakistan can be kept intact.

From the dawn of
civilization, all mankind all civilizations, have taken influences from each other.This will continue to happen till this world breathes out.
Cultural differences and ethnic diversity is a part of nature, thats how nature has made us, it is something to be cherished and enjoyed, not abuse or twisted.
But Man, the paragon of Animals, believes, that it is only he and his kind, who are the best, and wise, the most blessed, and spritual, and only it is only for him and his kind for whom the God's have created Heaven and Earth.
This is where things go wrong.
To support this unique belief system, Man has created Homespun Gods, Heaven, Hell, TV and his Selfrighteousness.
Befor slandering and twisting Religon's and Culture's or Ethniciti's.
Only if we could think,
that this is what has gone on from the dawn of History to this date, and for this there is truly there is no end.
If one could take a moment to think. This may make this world a happier and propoganda free zone.
Now wether human beings are supposed to be sensible or not,is another debate.
This century has been the marvel of Humans endvours. taking great leaps in crossing boundries, making discoveries, and made a whole lot of sifi toys to play russian rullet with. It shows amplitude of sense.
Wether we can creat peace and Harmony in this World is to be seen.
Wether we can unlearn the Hate, Prejudice, and Disrespect which we are tought for each other, that is to be seen.

mona says on 2009-03-15 11:42:52 about pakistani culture
The whole of pakistani culture is just modern and completely westernised. they say pakistan is an islamic country, are you kidding me? England is more islamic that pakistan. for instance, weddings in pakistan are completely done the way Hindu's or others cultures do them. if muslim pakistanis had their thinking caps on, they would know that most of the cultures and traditions are completely stupid and borrowed from other communities. Most pakistanis lack common sense, and yes i hope to offend in a sense that pakistanis , esp the muslim communities follow faith, instead of culture. Ever heard the phrase 'what will the neighbours say'? Well,Paki's take it to another level. Been there, done that. Screamed the house down!

Anant Gowerdhan says on 2006-10-30 11:19:29 about Impact of Indian Channel
Hi Mohsin and other Pakistani friends, well this message is not blame you guys or not to support Indian channels. I agree that whatever Indian channels, especially Star Plus and Zee tv showing is trash, even I dont like saas bahu serials...well comming to the point of the culture I would like to share one information with my Paki friends that One of the Pakistani was my room mate in London for few months and we became very good friends and than I came to know about the situation of the Pakistan. The guy was 28yrs old and he did not know that in Azmer Sharif more than muslims hindu go and pray, and its not only a place there is a place khwaza moinuddin chishti dargah, here also more than hindu go. There is a Ganesh Temple in india where a muslim family does all worship....I mean to say do you believe there are two different Gods for us? if there are two Gods than why we both have same kind of creature two eyes, two ears...etc? do you know whats the meaning of a religion? it says believe in god and do all good things either its Muslim or Hindu or any other religion in this world.....I say Khuda Hafiz to my muslim friend, so does it mean I'm influenced with Muslim culture? or my friend comes to my home on Diwali and greet my family so does it mean he is influenced with Hinduism? I believe if you'll give respect to others culture than you'll get the same for your culture. Believe me they way we celebrate Diwali in India we celebrate Iid too...and as you said that if your child asks a question about Hindu culture you can not aswer it, its because you just dont want to know about anyother culture. but look at us if any child comes to us and asks about muslim culture we have answers because here we live togather like brother and know about each other's religion...so i believe you guys should also learn about other world's culture that never hurts it increases knowledge....
Ankit says on 2006-08-31 02:36:43 about Why you want to stop your mind to accept failure
I have read ur notes while i was looking for indian chennels online and realise that one Pakistany person got lots of faults in indian channels. We also believe that but can u stop that.. no because every one is entertaining from these channels and no metter it is india or pakistan or even bangladesh, women loves it. There is freedom for women to say in India as well as Pakistan and if you force to change it then ur nothing but crual Muslim follower.
I am saying salam and Khuda hafiz to every muslim friend of mine but never heard any Muslim friend saying Namaste. We always respect others culture but never expect any one just underestimate our culture.

I agree indian programming is trash, but to say it affects your puny ass paki culture is silly - what culture does your rats ass country have except creating terrorists?
Guess Who says on 2005-02-15 16:44:34 about Indian TV influence on Paki...
As a Pakastani, you not I, I do understand your concern. Ancient and Religious cultures and Identification is important. However, I fail to see where you have proved your assertion that it is a direct planned assault on your people by Hindu Indian people. The world is changing all around each and everyone of us, not all changes are good, but we have to learn to accept "Change" and temper our judgement within the climate of change. Governmental Bans or Regulation has never proved to be of assistance to the general public at large, one Ban or Regulation only leads to another until the individual become imprisioned within his own home, mind, and community. Maintain the teachings of your faith and pass them on to succeeding generations and then let the individual make their place within these teachings and pray for the best.

Mohsin says on 2005-01-30 14:26:18 about Impact Of Indian Channels....
The article written is 100% true. Mis Annie by sitting in some other place you cannot get the real picture of our Pakistan. The author is 110% write that the children here are being influenced by the abnoxious Indian programmes. Frankly speaking if you come to Pakistan, you will find this situation. We dont blame the hindus for this. We blame the whole Indian community for there propoganda against us. As everyone know, Indians are very smart, but not smarter than us. First try to get to the deapth and than comment on the issue.
Annie says on 2004-12-13 21:43:46 about inpact of indian channels on paki
hi came across this artcle in the course of my research on pakistan. i completely disagree wid the the views of the person who wrote this article. its is fien as far as saying that indian channels influence paki children but the way that hindu culture is portrayed in the article is just rediculous. to make ur point it dosn't mean that u can go on saying nonsense abt som1 else.
i'm not a hindu but i'am an INDIAN and i find it very offensive the way indian girls are potrayed in this article. in my opinion this article defies the ethics of journalism. and definately lacks research on the subject. my advice to the columnist is DO not gernalize ppl into categories evry1 is unique.
