Funniest post I've seen in a long time. "No literature no tv no music" LOL, you are blissfully unaware of the rich diversity of Indian culture, literature and music. I suggest you lput your pakistani bias aside for a minute and don't talk out of your hat (excellent works penned by Indian authors- both in local languages and in English can be researched online). A selection of some modern Indian rock music can be found in the thread I will attach shortly to my previous post. And let's not even get to the television bit (from first hand accounts of pakistanis themselves, pakistani women are more addicted to our 'saas-bahu' soaps, our dance contests and our vocal talent shows than Indians themselves)
Pakistani singers are talented in their own right, but Indian singers no less. I will, in due course, open a thread about classical Indian singing and instruments if the members here evince enough interest in it. Pakistani artists cross the border despite uncertainties because Bollywood is simply more lucrative for them. And not all bolly music is "second hand music". Infact you would be hard-pressed to find any music that does not build upon chord patterns, arrangements, percussion and riffs already previously attempted. Innovation is not always inventive :)
rich diversity of indian culture LOL :D .... it's you guys who need a reality check badly!!
modern indian classical music was created by muslim gharanas so thank us for giving your culture some diveristy and innovation.
secondly, nobody would be interseted in listening to ABBA in or nusrat fateh ali khan in a cheap indian remix so please don't waste time posting them here.
pakistani women are not addicted to saas bahu soaps.... Infact, people are fed up of watching indian styled soaps. this forum alone has several threads criticizing indian styled soaps. check them out to clear your confusion.
