Statement: Should foreign films be banned in India?
Arguments:
- Yes. They depict an alien culture which adversely affects our values.
- No. Foreign films are of a high artistic standard.
Answer: Option
Explanation:
Clearly, foreign films depict the alien culture but this only helps in learning more. So, argument I does not hold. Also, the reason stated in argument II is not strong enough in contradicting the ban. So, it also does not hold.

I think argument 1 is weak because India is getting westernized so foreign films does not depict any alien culture and banning a film just because it jeopardizes our values is bourgeois. Indians love foreign films and that is the reason that some of the Hollywood film franchises releases films first in India than in their own country so the answer must be option A.
