“Oh mom! I missed the drama… please tell me what happened today..”
“Shut up!!! Let me watch this drama first..”

Cable TV networks had gained much popularity in almost all Pakistan including small villages, which give us facility to see many TV channels including Indian channels. As with passage of time Indian TV drama series are becoming more and more popular especially in housewives and children. As in Indian dramas they are showing their culture and way of living which is almost far from our religion. But we are becoming addicted to these dramas and adopting their culture, this thing is taking us far from our values and way of living. This is issue is becoming very serious because our new generation is growing watching their culture which is impacting in a negative way on our society. Children want to wear cloths like them, want to dance like them and want to do everything they do. Even parents do not stop them watching Indian dramas knowing that it is not good for their growing personality.

It is important to promote our own culture in new generation and it is also the responsibility of parents to guide their children in right way. According to me the government of Pakistan should take action about this issue and block those Indian channels in Pakistan which are promoting their culture 24 hours. An awareness campaign should be started to aware parents about the negative impacts of this on our society because they are the only one that can stop this in new generation.
