I think that to pace up with the running world we have to transform our mindset. Instead of looking at the darker side we can also have a glance of the brighter side. Wearing jeans, t-shirt and other foreign clothes, aren't they a threat to our culture. We couldn't compete USA. Just by copying their modern lifestyle. We should also try to have modern thought like them.

I strongly think that foreign TV shows especially like Star World, Zee Cafe etc and foreign products advertisements are strongly trying to attack our Indian culture by showing extra marital affairs, violence, fights in families, exposure to sexual encounters openly etc. We should understand that these things don't exist in our society. We Indians believe in family system and respecting each other and our parents.
When Indian youth, kids, women and all people watch such serials violence, extra marital affairs and infidelity seem acceptable to them. This happens because it is shown continuously on the television. Women are objectified in the western culture which can be easily seen in their TV shows, movies and advertisements etc. So think about it. It is an indirect attack on the minds of young people who start justifying lusting women, violence and various other crimes.
If this is not attacking our citizens and its culture, then what is? Some people have mentioned in their answers that it depends upon us what we need to accept from their shows. But what about the young minds especially the teenagers who have just begun to see the world and understand it.
Do these young minds really think about judging it? Watching television automatically shuts our brains and we just keep watching and putting in whatever stuff the television set feeds us. Do you really think that the young minds are going to filter the violence, crime and lust shown in these foreign TV series?
Please think about it.

Hello friend,
At this time India is a developing country and I think the development of this country completely depends on us so we should expand our thinking. It's not limited that foreign channels destroying our culture so at this time what is the condition of our culture everyone got introduced that if there is no existence of a good and developed culture than what is destroying here.
In this modern and hi-tech world, there is India in which villages having no condition that anyone since their childhood can learn something from their culture that help's to lead in their future life.
Culture is nothing but our thinking only if you do best for yourself and everyone than its good so foreign channel may be helpful for someone its nothing for destroying our culture.
Thank you.

Hello friends,
According to me foreign television channels can not destroy our culture. We are responsible for that. As par my point of view we are learn many things like communication skill, language skill also and we also improve our ability. So it is our responsibility how to handle it.

I am also a youngster and according to me, what I think it is only depends on the state of our mind that how we perceive it and I do not think that foreign channels are destroying our culture or devouring our rules of India. We are living in a modern world so we should adopt broad thinking, not only this we should open our minds in a new direction making our own rules by committing some mistakes and of course adopting a positive attitude towards things and even with the foreign channels also. As I have implement this in my life when I was at the teenage and mark my words that day and this day has brought a lot of changes in my life.
Even you try this in your life. You will yourself get to know the changes yourself. And share it with us also.

Well hello guys I feel that Indian culture is getting ruined just because of how we Indians are taking the matter into consideration as we are not taking a negative aspect as a negative aspect.
Eg: If a hero is smoking, drinking, ruining a woman's life our youngsters feel that they should make all those activities to become a hero. So even though the foreign channels do not affect directly but they are indirectly affecting the Indian culture and heritage.

Hello everyone.
In point of view, foreign television channels are not responsible for destroying our nation. Its totally depends up on us how to get the knowledge and information from them and everything depends upon viewers. So we are responsible for destroying a nation.

I don't think foreign TV channels are not destroying our culture. Because why I am saying like this the reason is foreign channels providing good knowledge, through this we can improve my ability, language skills, and also communication such as channel like animal planet, discovery.

According to me foreign channels are not destroying our culture even I think that according to the present era some of our Indian channels are trying to destroy our culture.
Its because we all know that from the past few years we see that in our Indian channels more vulgar stuff is shown in TV shows and movies.
We can understand this thing easily by checking out the difference between the older Indian movies and the newer movies shown on our channels, here you will find a big difference in anything like clothes, style, culture etc.
So according to me we are responsible for destroying our culture and not others.
For eg :- if you do hard work for getting success in your work, you will get the best results its not your neighbour who is getting success and if you do bad things it affects you not others.
Foreign channels facilitates us with the latest information, technology etc. All around the world.
And some of the channels which we use to see or heard about from our childhood like discovery which is very helpful for sharpening our brains, so how can we say that foreign channels are destroying our culture.
I know that everything in this world have some advantages and disadvantages also so its upto you which side of the coin you want to choose.
