I think that the foreign channels is not destroying our culture. Its depends on our thinking and leaning that, what I am getting from these channels and what is our thinking after watch. From these channel we improve our knowladge and we come to know about the word. For ex in discovery channel they tell us many funny fact of animals. In cartoon channels there are many program play, these program developed the childern's thinking and improve their ideas.

If we think about that there are many vulgar seen and program run in these channel we should not learn it or not use. Its for youth for their entetainment.

According to my opinion how we can say that foreign channels destroying our culture. Most of the resources are coming from foreign companies and real India is also given by Britishers concerning development, Information technology and many more. So we cannot blame them. Fact is our thinking is only to make money for that we cannot bother what is good or bad but we need it by any cost. So at last I want to say that culture is maintained by people not by any channels or programes its all our understanding.

The term culture is something which our parents got from our grandparents and which we are getting from our parents and today if we say that by seeing some filthy or some foreigner channel we are losing our culture then I would like to say that this is not the foreign channel which are destroying our culture but this is we people who are not able to adere to our culture firmly.

Friends the only aim of any channel is to entertain the mass and some channel shows this type of programmes to which if some youth watch, it work as an entertainment for them but if same youth watch that same thing with his family it appears vulgarity to them and if we say that if that some youths are watching the vulgar scenes with their family then it doesn't mean that they lacks culture or moral but it is so because they have good understanding between them.

According to my all friend I am also not satisfied that the foreign channel destroying our culture. It's totaly based upon us what we think for it. Everyone watch ftv, discovery, and many of those foreign channel because they like to watch it rather then our cultural channel.

So its our thinking that it destroying our culture.

Culture can't be destroyed by a mere foreign channel. It is our mind and duty to understand the our own culture. It obvious that we can get the knowlede of the whole world what the other country people are thinking of our culture. We also know that when vivekananda was allowed to tell on the subject called zero he has given the rite knowledge and culture of India to the world and the world has accepted it.

So telling that culture can be destroy by the foriegn culture is not very rite. Seeing the intresting thing on the foreign channel we can devlope more intresing thing. At the end if you don't know the culture of other how can you diffrenciate. So many evil thing are alredy present in our culture, first we have to delete that like caste system, reservation system etc. So telling about the others culture we must have to look on our own. It is the mind set that adopating foreign culture from channel only, we have now a day internet day we can connect ourself to the world and world can also connect with us.

My friends we INDIANS have a great culture and what happened in earlier times was when British entered India and astonished about our way of doing things we all were having a accepting attitude all good things every one in the country was happy and enough thins to live. Now I'm saying a fact that is the British person some higher level ranking wrote a letter to the vice Roy of Britain that I don't think we can control the Indians since they are following a excellent system which inhibits in their culture and every one have good knowledge the answer from the vice Roy was this destroy their culture and make them believe they are wrong and mix other way of doing things. Till now we are not aware because we INDIANS have a good heart of accepting every one thus unknowingly we think bad about our culture and support them. Build a view of critical thinking then you will understand. IN BBC whenever they are showing INDIA they always shows some slums or other bad events EG: when INDIA conducted common wealth games the news from BBC was this out of poverty INDIA have hosted common wealth games. And they were only showing the bad events like steps falling down etc as all you said before we have negative sides but why British have to hi light that and hiding good things.

Take example of women dress cord INDIAN women used to dress neatly now we start following western does does fashion require showing of sexual organs. My request to every one is that wherever you go stick to our culture learn good things from them but don't allow to flow the sand under our leg. People respect the one who follow their own culture.

Well according to point my view I would like say that it is not devastating our culture, although it all up to to the human mind, weather he get useful thing or get unacceptable things, now we talk about the children destruction to watch the vulgar or unethical channel, but it really must be control by TV lock system, I must emphasis that both good and the bad, we really can get a lot of information about western culture, some knowledgeable like discovery, animal planet, English news channels and kids for various cartoon channels. It has a lot of limitless advantage compare than the disadvantages. So your endeavor must for good one.

According to my opinion, we cannot blame completely foreign channels for destroying our culture. There is something to learn from everything what we take from these depends on our wisdom. There are channels which are very useful for our education and there are some channels which brings out our hidden talents like axn etc and the cartoon channels are a boon for the children for improving their ideas and for their entertainment. But there are some channels which portray unethical culture. An adult can make a wise decision but this may not seen in the case of kids so there must be adult supervision on such channel which destroy our budding minds of kids as the childhood is the crucial time values of our culture should be learnt by every child as long as the parents and people around the child are responsive in carrying the culture then these channels will never effect our culture.

Indian culture can never be destroyed by any so called foreign channels.

Its based on people and how they take it.

If something inapprophiate is seen, it is his/her duty to switch over and where that is not possible there is feature in probably in every TV sets "THE PARENTAL LOCK".

I really don't think so that a 14 year old would ever find the password. ;-).

There is always problems in life but overcomining those problems is the beauty of life.

I am not agree that foreign television channels are responsible for it because it provide us so many knowledge of channels like discovery, animal planet, history, national geographic channel and so on. Foreign channels enhancing our knowledge.

We are human and knew that what is right or wrong. There are so many Indian and Foreign shows on tv which is diverting our mind, specially young generation. It depend on us in which types of shows we are watching on tv. Finally we have to watch knowledgeable and entertainment shows.
