Hello, friends, I'm Mayank.
In my opinion, foreign channels are not destroying our culture. First we need to understand what culture is its.
1. Rituals (festivals one celebrate) ,
2. Dresses we wore,
3 The food we Eat,
4 Art and our believes.
And more.
Foreign TV channels prime Moto is something else it may be entertainment, knowledge etc. Foreign TV channels can surely introduce us to the culture of different countries it's up to us how we see it. Sometimes we get excited and want to try their food. Dress, culture but that doesn't mean we destroyed our culture, actually, Every citizen of India has the right to practice any culture and promote his own culture to prevent it from being extinct.
So in any way TV channels aren't trying to destroy any culture they just show the different practices, festivals, food, dress etc people in different countries follow.
It's just matter of perspective of a person.

Foreign television channels are helpful. They are not destroying our culture. For example sherlock holmes show, oprah winfrey show useful to increase your english speaking skills, helpful in make your english speaking conversation better.
Foreign movies are the mixture of action, good different story, drama and most important is science fiction movie which increase your knowledge regarding technology.
Movies like Terminator movie series which shows that with the help of technology human crate humanoid robots.
Movies like Evolution, Residential evil series shows that during biological experiment if any hazard occurred than human beings have to suffer from it and if those experiment have completed Successfully than world can get new biological invention to make future better.
Movie like titanic is very good movie to understand what happened and how people have survived during this historical accident.
Jurassic park movie series represent life of big animals in earlier century days, how world destroyed, how these jiant animal destroyed from the world.
And some shows like AFV (American funny videos) and Just for laugh are good for refresh your mind. It makes you laugh for sometime.
Some movies like fast and furious movie series, Lake Placid 3, Anaconda movie series, Piranha are nice movies which shows that if animals got big and wild that how it destroy human beings. It's good imaginative movies.
Now if I talk about Hindi channels, movies there is just boring serials which isn't helpful. Hindi movies have just one story content like love story.
So Foreign channels are better if people want good entertainment and want to learn something good.

In INDIA we have different television channels from different nations like US, UK etc. As all those are foreign channels there are movies and some other programs which reflect their culture and habits. What we all have to do is just to watch the channel programs and to know about their culture, language, their way of speaking, accent, their way of living. If it is better than ours we should try to inpliment in our lives. But this judgement is depend on ones mindset. We have our own culture and they had their own culture. We can't compare these things.
Of course, government had made all the foreign channels available for us. There will be no develoment if we consider our culture is top without considering all other cultures. We should observe their lifestyle their innovative programs if any and we should try to broad up our knowledge.
In the same way there are also other channels like Discovery, Animal planet which deals with the nature, science, etc. There are no Indian channel in this fashion. It is good opportunity for us to know about all the different kinds of birds, animals, through this channels.
So I conclude that No foreign channel will try to distroy our culture. The Indian culture is developed by Indians and all indians should respect it and should not forget it though he had well known with the other nation cultures.

India is a vast country with 1.3 million people. It is rich in traditions and cultures. Nothing can destroy such diverse culture of our country. And so foreign TV channels also can't affect our culture. In fact we can learn a lot of things from foreign TV channels. They are innovators. They are full of ideas and creativity. Unlike Indian TV shows they can teach a lot of things. Science fiction shows how best can we use technology. Then there are many other shows based on a new concept which unlike Indian movie of typical love story and serials based on saas bahu conflict. Also we improve our communication skills which is must in corporate world.

I like to say that foreign channels are not destroying our culture. They are just showing what their culture is. But they never asked us to follow their culture. Right? then why should we blame them?
Our country, India. Has a great culture and tradition which is respected and liked by the whole world. We should feel proud about it. The thing is, how an individual receiving the things shown in foreign channels? it depends upon an individual. And the foreign channels really gives lots of information which we doesn't get from our channels. The best example is Discovery channel. Everything we watch in it is very informative and useful. Helps to improve our knowledge on it. So it depends on us what we take from those channels and what we ignore.
TAKE THE GOOD. LEAVE THE BAD. !

In my opinion, I partly agree with this statement. Our culture is our identity so its our responsibilities to preserve and protect it. However, it is good to learn something from someone or somewhere which are beneficial for all. Moreover, we can learn a lot from the foreign program, we can learn such miracle things like information about creatures from deep ocean and cultures and customs from the different foreign program. Everything has their both negative as well as a positive part only the difference is that we should analysis right things to enter in our mind and utilize it in a proper way and ignore the bad once which is in our hand. Therefore government should take responsibilities to promote and protect our culture by organizing a variety of program in our local channel and promote it by giving a platform for younger talented people by providing prizes for good actors or actress.

According to me, foreign television channels are not destroying our culture because it depends on us what we gain from television and foreign or Indian channels. It depends on our mentality what we thing right or wrong. Ex. Television also shows or display good news or channels but why we gain bad things. And after that, we blame foreign channels and say. They are responsible for destroying our culture. As we see and learning about culture in the childhood and after that one channel or news or a program can destroy our culture easily. How this possible? And please stop blaming another thing or a person for our mistakes. So first we should change ourself and another point is that. It depends on us we want to destroy or not, our culture. Thank you.

May be they are destroying us! but, still they are like innovators to indians. Actually, we can learn lot of things from the movies like interstellar, terminator, divergents, etc. It depends on the person watching. If a girl wear jeans it doesn't mean that she is destroying our culture but it means she is very much comfortable in wearing it.
So, I would say that rather than protesting against westren culture. Let us grab some good ideas on that and make our India much better.

Hey people,
I want to make a point here that it is not the channel that matters, what matters most is the content. How can we ban & blame foreign channels if our own channels are not any less in terms of spoiling our culture. Can we appreciate songs of sunny leone, honey singh & bhojpuri dances? Are they a part of our culture? Absolutely not. So we should first check out ourselves before blaming others.
The second lies in our conservative mentality and due to this the one who suffers the most are our children. From the day he/she is born we start planning & saving for their studies in America and here we are talking of banning foreign channels. Imagine them getting to Harvard the first day and being ragged up because our very cultured children simply can't adjust to this new world, the will feel like aliens and will die of inferiority complex.
In my view the whole world is like a village nowadays and we should try to respect the culture and thinking of all of them. And we should teach our child as well to respect all cultures. The more we restrict them the more we will lose them. So talk to them, tell them & be frank with them. Because remember, TV is not the only medium it is one of the mediums. Internet, magazines, friends are still there.
