Hello everyone,
Well, I don't think that foreign channels are destroying our culture. It depends on the thinking of the viewers that how do they interpret the material being viewed on these channels. Now a days the more vulgar stuff is being shown in Indian television shows and Indian movies. Foreign channels like discovery, fox travelers, tlc etc are good channels which gives knowledge about the earth, the people and different cultures all around the world. These can also help in improving communication skills which are very necessary these days.
Thank you.

Firstly, foreign televisions are making the minds of youths vulnerable and they are adopting foreign culture forgetting their parents, culture and traditional values.
Secondly, foreign televisions are making people's mind disturbed and aggressive. They are adopting illegal methods to earn money instead of working hard and efficiently.
Thirdly, foreign television creates a differential attitude in all the youths since they are not believing in the concept of unity thus making the country full of illegal and addition of divide and rule policy in all over the world.

What kind of culture here we are talking about? I mean guys, just think about it. The quality content which we can get from BBC, can we expect that from India TV? definitely not. I am not saying all Indian channels are bad, but foreign channels are providing us the kind of information we need, we get to know whats happening around the world. We are not interested in knowing what a sadhu is doing or teaching, right?
As it has been said, I am totally in favor of foreign channels as I think they have more humor, information which we can't expect from any Indian channel.
Is there any science related or technology related channel in India ? no there is not, but there are few foreign channels which are making us more knowledgeable in every aspect. Here you can find more than 20 religious channels but not even 1 where we are provided with stuff which actually makes us a good human being. People do big talks, but I think its what we perceive that matters. Today in India they is a huge number of people who have open mind to each and every aspect of society which wasn't the case earlier. So I think we all can see that no matter what we talk about foreign channels are indeed making us more wise by opening are narrow mindedness.

Well, . It depends upon on the person whether he or she wants to imbibe a positive or negative. Do you think it right to put blame on others for all our wrong actions? What is happening in our society is all because of us, not because of any person or any foreign channels. There are so many good channels which is useful for our development. So everyone try to grasp positive things from the channels.

Hai guys.
Well, I don't think that foreign channels are destroying our culture. Depends on the type of movie. Vulgar scenes and double meaning dialogues definitely harm the society especially young children but there are many movies which encourage us to think from new perspectives.
No, your think is wrong, some channels are sometimes presence in your way. But most of the media's are as a good teacher for improve our knowledge.
Everything what Foreign Television Channels are giving us, till great extend it is enhancing our knowledge like giving us good channels eg. Discovery, national geography, history channel, animal planet and so on.

Hi to all.
I am totally Disagree with the topic.
As it is not the foreign channels which are destroying our culture. Its us only.
We are adopting every wrong from where ever we get. We have become brain less. And after any wrong result is seen than we blame foreign channels, westernisation.
The fact is we are coward enough not to take the responsibility of our deeds by ourselves, so intend to blame others for our not so good behaviour.
We have already destroyed the very essence of our culture, we have forgotten the morals and values, so what is left here in our country to be destroyed by any channel.
We always neglecting the good things to be adopted rather go for the wrong ones.
Aren't we mature enough to distinguish between good or bad.
So ultimately it's up to us which side of coin we want to see.
Thank you.

I think that foreign TV channels had made a great impact on Indian culture. As we all know India is famous for their Indian classical music and its dance forms. But due to impact of foreign channels people in India are showing interest in other dance and music form. Nobody is interested in our Indian dance and music. I don't say that foreign dance our music are bad but as we are indians we must show interest in our culture. This is my way of thinking. And I respects the views all of you had said.

Wise people said that people do what they think and what they watch. But this is not right to blame that foreign channels are destroying our culture. Because people should become responsible that what they are watching. This depends on people that what they are watching and what they want to watch. Foreign channels are showing their own culture and there are many good things which we can learn from them. And if we talk about bad things then Indian channels are also playing their role. Some Indian serials are more responsible for family conflicts than foreign channels.
But I also want to mention here that parents should keep an eye on their children that what they are watching. Because they are innocent and do not know the difference between right or wrong. So parents should guide them to watch good programs. And there are also many knowledge and science based foreign channels like discovery and animal planet and channels based on food cooking etc which explore new and creative things to people's minds and enhancing our knowledge.
Change is law of nature. Today we do not have the same tradition, values and beliefs which we had thousand years ago. And if we are changing our culture to great extent then foreign channels are not only responsible. There are many other causes of it too. Blaming foreign channels in particular is not right.
