New Recruit
I saw someone saying about economics behind Pakistani channels being banned in India. GoI plays a big role here too. Strong Indian civil society have been told categorically not to request about lifting ban on Pakistani channels. Anti India psyche in almost all Pakistani programs is well known. GoI do not want Indians to listen to all kind of weird conspiracies floating on those channels. Thats understandable and justified.
Now comes the economics and view of Indian media. Though India liberalized her economy but still protects Indian bizz interests. Why would Indian media allow any kind of competition? Zaid Hamid really spit venom against India every time he opens his holy Islamic mouth but he and his alikes would get maximum viewer ship (but for short time only). Then comes the dramas, folk songs, cookery shows. Still Pakistani comedy is better than Indians. So what my dear Aaj Tak, India TV, India Live, Total TV etc etc would do? Shu shop??? no way. So the ban continues.
But see, what if you allow these channels to come in (both airing of channels and commercial offices in India)? Indian media will be forced to improve and improvise so viewers get better content. Zaid Hamids will vanish over night (Pakistani Biz are not fools to kills their TRPs and revenues). Though we expect and tolerate little salt and pepper to continue from both sides. It will give boost to Pakistani economy and help in cultural industries upliftment. In short run both India and Pakistan will be gaining individually and in long run we both will be reaping benefits of better understanding each other. Peace, no war, de nuking etc etc can follow then only (after understanding each other's view).
...bus siyasat mat karna...let the simple economics work.
i want pakistani channels in india. then i can watch zaid hamid and ahmed qureshi so much more easily
they beat any other stand up comedians hands down
Why do we need Pakistani Channel?? iam sure their channels will be full of Religion ..
is it lack of demand or are they banned?
