Pemra to crackdown on Indian DTH, channels in Pakistan

[Basel]

There was a time when Pakistani drama industry was dead, now no one in my family watch shitty saas bahu soap with multiple janams

True, days of dominance of Indian Soaps are long gone only very few Indian dramas are watched now. Hum TV and other Entertainment TV channels have brought back people to Pakistani dramas because now they are again emphasising on all round quality of drama not just on glamour like Indians do.

You clearly have become offended by that.
you do not know the impact of indian channels on our own industry.
Hollywood isnt as dangerous as indian due to the sheer amount of content that just flows in.

I'm sorry but are you young?

Yes indian culture is very similar to Pakistani culture parents ashwirAt respect bhabiji cha-cha jee. Joint family tradition . Similar languages same food and Hollywood isnt dangerous means u have soft spot for programs type "Baywatch"

Not possible. Has been tried in the past and failed miserably. And in addition it is good for Pakistan to get exposure to progressive, liberal and productive Indian culture.

If you consider India progressive, I dread to think what you consider regressive.

Where's the freedom of choice here ?? If people i mean literally we are talking about millions want to see a channel why disrupt ?? why deny ??

Because it's from the enemy state. Once India and Pakistan make peace, they can enjoy. Until then, go watch Hollywood it's 10,000x better.

I know about Turkey only which channel shows Mexican damas?

I cant remember the name now but there are loads of foreign series now. Even Brazilian (http://www.c21media.net/globo-makes-pakistan-debut/) and Croatian (Lara ki Kahani on Urdu 1, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larin_izbor). The Indian soaps are definitely just one player now in a large market unlike the early 2000s when they were the only real foreign player in the Pakistani market.

We only have outline similarities with India.
Our culture isnt wholeheartedly what india is.

we ARE different even at the level amongst ourselves.

Punjab is not PAKISTAN.

So this doesn't justify to stop airing indian channels

The point is, Indian shows are too big in numbers to the point publicity for our own shows is a pain in the ***.

Ban Indian media from Pakistan for good.
