Impact of Indian TV Channels on Pakistani CultureWhat 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. Tags: tv Culture Education muslim Religion

imraan says on 2009-08-18 16:34:25 about rantings of the ediot box
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.
