Forced Entertainment on Indian Television


Indian Television Entertainment has gone through many ups and downs. It started with Doordarshan with its some still remembered serials and shows, like serial "Buniyad", "Ramayan", Mahabharat, etc. Indian viewers were quite content with whatever Doordarshan served, until the world of various channels came like Zee and Star. Whoever saw it, started reprimanding Doordarshan for its boring programs. People started running after cables operators to give the connection for watching various channels. Now when this channel business has been streamlined , they have started exploiting the viewers by their meaningless show in the name of reality shows, talent hunt and never ending stories of serials. Today watching Veena Mallik has become entertainment, who is accused of Cricket Match fixing . Ashmit Patel is who is better known for his MMS Scandal rather than his movies is shown as innocent guy for the sake of entertainment. We are forced to watch singers who cant sing and are insulted by the judges in the name of talent hunt. It is not that meaningful entertainment is not going running, but among them such programs are mushrooming. If one watch some of the regional channels of talent hunt, it would give shocking experience.
We do have Censor Board for movies , where movies are categorised as A, B and C . Now Censor Board need to enter into the realm of Indian Television Entertainment and check that what is going on.
