Satellite TV channels

Satellite TV channels greatly divert our young generation from our rich heritage. Earlier our youths were influenced by western culture but with the introduction of satellite TV channels they are now dominated by Indian culture. Noticing that those channels were diverting our young generation to foreign culture, the local entrepreneurs launched local satellite channels. ATN, the first private TV channel, started operation in 1997. Gradually other channels came into being. At present about 17 local private TV channels are continuously airing programmes upholding our long-cherished culture and tradition. But if we shuffle through the channels we will come across the ubiquitous dance sequence of the Indian music video. Unfortunately, the young generation is easily lured into those things.
They remain glued to Indian channels most of which air music videos that ooze with sexuality. As the students waste most of their time watching vulgar music on the satellite channels, they do badly in their exams and thus ruin their future.
But satellite TV channels have their bright sides also. There are some very good informative and educative channels like Discovery, Nat Geo Wild, Al Jazeera, BBC, CNN, etc. Watching those channels we can easily widen our gamut of knowledge which will ultimately give us power. So, to protect society from the catastrophic effect and to protect our own rich culture we must ban those channels that air sleazy stuff.
