Interesting comment by Indira Gandhi who said that India had already won the the war with Pakistan… the cultural war.
So many Indian movies these days showcase marriage between a Hindu and Muslim; some are more vulgar than Western movies; so many have anti-Islam/anti-Pakistan rhetoric, either subtle or obvious. Why do we want want our youth and womenfolk (and sad to say, a large number of our men folk) watching this garbage?
If Pakistanis are growing up with this ‘bhai bhai’ attitude towards India, how on earth can this be tolerated? I am not a bigot, nor a racist, but until the question of Kashmir is solved, we can never be friends with India, and certainly, any thing, including Bollywood, which can make our people forget our great Qaid’s quote:
“We are a nation, we are a nation with our own distinctive culture and civilization, language and literature, art and architecture, names and nomenclature, sense of values and proportion, legal laws and moral code, customs and calendar, history and tradition, aptitudes and ambitions; in short, we have our own distinctive outlook on life and of life. By all canons of international law, we are a nation!”
should be rooted out like a cancer.
Besides, banning Bollywood movies will allow for local productions to fill the gap.
I’m surpised when Pakistanis always complain that Pakistan itself doesn’t produce anything good… Aray bhai, if you do a simple search, there are amazing drama serials being produced by Pakistan. Just recently, a couple of really good dramas on HUM TV (Daam, Dastaan etc) have have put all Bollywood I’ve seen to shame… There used to be a time when the streets would empty because people would be watching their favourite dramas (e.g. ‘Uncle Urfi’ etc - some of our older members will be able to confirm this), so why this need to specifically have a great movie industry when our small screen industry is light years ahead is beyond me…
