Hi guys,

I think that foreign channels in no way destroying our culture. It is up to us what we want to accept and what not. There are many channels which help us in many ways to improve our communication skills, to expand our knowledge and to keep pace with the growing advancement in technologies.

If something is right and will help us then why to hesitate in accepting it. Please tell me is it really possible for us to wear dhoti-kurta and work for whole day.

At last. Our culture is best and it is not so weak to be destroyed so easily.

Good evening friends.

I have read everyone's view and I am in agreement with many of my friends. I don't think that all foreign channels are bad. Many foreign channels are there which provide us good knowledge about science and technology, about various parts of world, about various types of animals plants, about various minerals. Indian space programmes are not well advanced so some foreign channels provide lots of information about space and its related contents. There are channels which shows talent shows. Based on these foreign channels and programmes many programmes are made in India which provide platform for the talented people of the country to show their talent in front of the world.

Why we go for the negative aspects of it why can't we think of the positive things related to many foreign channels. May be we may not like many things related to their culture but Its not wrong according to them. Why just we can't absorb positive points and discard the negative things.

I want to conclude that just because we don't like western culture we should blame all channels.

Thank you.

Hello guys.

I dnt think so foreign culture destroying our culture. We are blaming others for our mistakes. We all Indians are responsible for destroying our cultures not others. Just 1 eg here suppose if you do good, do hard work for getting success in your work. You will get the best result, its not your neighbor who is getting success. Similarly if you do bad things its affect you not others or others do wrong thing it will affect them not you. So my point is that we should not blame others for our fault.

We are letting ourself to choose the best one whether it is bad good. We can't blame others for our choice. Its up to you what do you want.

I agree that they are accepting western culture its not bad also because if you see number of foreign channels provide good knowledge and information about the new technologies. Nowadays english language become the king of the world. Everywhere we use this lang for eg in corporate world, school, business etc. Without this we can not think ahead if you want to get success in your life in this modern world. Elders suggest us to see english channel to improve language.

Some of the channels are not good so don't prefer it. Its human nature to accept bad thing very easily. So guys at last I want to say that dnt blame others for destroying our culture.

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.

I don't think that foreign television channels are destroying our Indian culture, it is foreign tv channel's right to show their culture, even all other country 's right to show their culture. If we taking positive way, foreign tv channels are beneficial to us. We can get information around the world by the foreign news channel, we can get different kind of knowledge by discovery, planet world, net geography channel these are from foreign TV channel there are so many other channel which provides information and knowledge.

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.

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.

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.

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.
