Indian values and culture i keep hearing this word its not value but cultural far as i know i dont see these any more couples spliting up when they have kids like 30 years old, so many divorces and children lying to sneak out at night and going behind there parents back. In ks they showing ons surely it reflects this because all this is going on and its reflecting in the shows as well. Its been refelected in novels like parineeta which was written years ago and devdas which has a courtean in it if thats the right word.

I agree with what ur saying.Everybody, nowadays are so modernized with western culture that they're blind folded with the true indian values,i'm not saying that it's bad to adapt to western culture.....but ppl should always be proud of their values,that whats make's indian culture stand out.For example no intimacy, before marriage,there are parts of the world where this value is carried out,but again due to pressurization from peer pressure and trying too hard to fit in,ppl go out of their way n let all their morals and values,wash down the drain,by involving in acts that cast a downfall to indian value and culture.
I hope i made some sense 😕

yeh you made sense and a good answer ! i think that there is a big difference in what people what indian value and morals to be and what they are like i pointed out. I live in the Uk and agree there should be a good balance fit in yes but not forget your values either

Hi Divya,

It is very true what you wrote. There should be a balance of indian and western culture but I think all depends on families. When I immigrated from India I came from a small town and my husband from a village, to date we still have our differences on the way we think. I still think the way I came from India but people have changed so much there and also so much divorce rate now a days. Personally i think it is from the TV influence too becuase In my days we had no TV's. When i came here TV programmes just started, Even in canada the type of shows kids watch on TV lot to do with how they live their life. I have indian channels in my house so they do watch indian serials and they also see how we think and do stuff although we still live in 70's when we came from India when the kids went to India about four years ago, they said to me,mum you always said to me do not go to clubs it is not acceptable in Indain culture but she said people here are more advanced. Lot to do with how you address those values and traditions. I think they should not show wrong things on television like they showed on Kasamh se, sleeping with you sister's husband. I better stop now i am getting carried away.

I do get what you are saying but personally i dont think tv could get away with showing anything that doesnt happen in society or noone watch. They have watershed for that exact reason so kids dont see those scene i get told as well that delhi and mumbai are more advanced from over here i dont know since i'm not from there and dont usually go there when i go in india.

I know either be honest with your parents and be who you are or dont alot of these people go away form home just to do that like at uni, i understand people lying a little but having a whole different perception is wrong. I dont do the whole going out clubbing etc so i have no need to lie even if i did i would tell them straight.

I understand what you are trying to say. My daughters going to university in Toronto and We are very open with one another and they tell me lot of stuff that goes on and what our youth is up to, it is disgusting. And Dehli and Mumbai are very modern cities even women my age drink openly, where as i have never touched a drink in my life and find it disgusting but there should be a limit to what you do. I do not go to dehli or Mumbai what I am saying is because some of my distant counsins live in Dehli in their 50's drink openly. But i still say that they should try to teach good values through TV progarammes and Movies but children get the entirely different picture.

Niatwal:

this is exactly how I feel, my values are so similar. my friend and I have been discussing KS for a while. I really feel that India shows/movies are really getting out of hand/they should have restrictions, just like you have the option of rectrictions in Canada. weather you want your children to see or not when they are young. and I really mean when they are young. because you sit together as a family and watch these programs.

I was in Mumbai couple of years ago, I noticed that most of the family they sit down and watch these serials, grandparents, parents, aunts, uncles, cousins, young children, neighbours, and I expecially feel that there is no value for younger kids anymore, because we try to bring them with values and if they see/exposed to this kind of program when they grow up, they think this orinary this is part of life.

e.g. the main progtomist marries several times to different women then comes backs to the original wife and also have several children

In KS saliji/jiju

Its just crap,


D.
