It is often condemned as a corrupting influence on Indian culture and values, it is dubbed as the idiot box but there is no denying the fact that Indian TV has done a great service to the nation ever since its advent, but in particular after the arrival of satellite TV
Remember the days of black and white transmission and the days when TV sets were rare luxury?. Today , its ubiqutous presence has become an integral part of most indian households. In fact , TV like the mobile phone, has proved to be great leveller of society- the poor enjoy it as much as the rich do.
What is the secret of Indian TV’s magical pull ? well first of all it is available 24 hours a day , 7 days a week and 12 months in a year. It has a lot of variety , more than 100 channels in all major Indian languages and caters to all sorts of generes
There are reality TV programmes , environmental and knowledge channels and much more. Indian TV has become more and more interactive . Viewers take part in celebrity shows, choose their fav heroes , music idols and give their opinion on social and national issues
But i think the greatest service Indian TV has done to the nation is its campaign against criminals and corruption. Ever since the Tehelka Expose , there has been a flood of such programmes on all the major networks. Through surveys , SMS responses and advertisements, Indian TV has bought about great public awareness.
Thus Indian TV has done a marvellous job in strengthening the diverse yet unified democratic character of the country.
