Not so long ago, very few people could even think of watching an indian movie. Firstly, they were not shown in the Pakistani cinemas, secondly, people did not own a VCR. As time passed by, there was an exponential rise in the video rental shops and all kinds of movies were readily available to the public. VCRs were becoming less expensive and one could get it on rent as well. Watching a movie over a weekend was considered to be a treat and it was not a bad one in those times.
The arrival of satellite tv, dish antennae and cable TV has changed the scene altogether. Now an infinite number of foreign channels were available including the indian channels. This meant that Pakistani public especially the youth was exposed to the vulgarities of the indian culture. This had adverse effects on the youth of this country. Now they spent more time watching ridiculous soap operas and obscene hindi movies. The final nail in the coffin was the permission to show indian movies in pakistani cinemas.
There is a need for a massive campaign to root out this evil from our country. To let our young children know that this is not our culture, this is not what our religion teaches us. This is media warfare, to make us deaf and blind of the realties around us. To make us indifferent on whats happening to our brothers around the world. We cannot let our country become a Godless state.
