The decision by PEMRA (Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority) to reinforce the ban on Indian channels has come as a surprise to most viewers. The recent thawing of ice on both sides of the Indo-Pak border had sparked hope among the people (including cable operators) that this would lead to further relaxation of the 'entertainment embargo.' But that has not taken place. 'Cable operators are violating the rules and further violations are to be dealt with strictly,' was the rationale stated for the re-enforcement.

The actual reason behind all this is the common cause taken up by the private channels and media companies who have bought airtime on PTV. These 'aggrieved' parties have long been campaigning for the ban. Their gripe is that the Indian channels, especially Star Plus, eat into the advertising pie on which they all depend. This seems to be an acceptable justification, but if we look at it from the consumer's perspective, then this is simply a confession by our media managers admitting that they are facing an acute drought in the imagination department, which is a result of their aloofness from what viewers demand.

Since the last half decade or so, the average Pakistani viewer has switched allegiances to Indian programming. The last three years have seen a complete whitewash of Pakistani drama serials (which were once our forte) by the 'soaps' from Star Plus and Sony Television. This trend cannot be reversed through any administrative order, as was the case with the film industry.

During the 1950s, film producers launched a campaign against movies imported from India. Their plea was similar to the agenda being pursued by local TV big shots today. The film producers wanted to protect the local industry and the government relented to their demand. Thus Dev Anand's Jaal became the first movie to be banned. From hereon, the Pakistani film industry's stalwarts were the only ones left in the field. They enjoyed prosperity at the expense of film-goers, while their quality started to deteriorate since their wasn't any competition. To top it all, they started to blatantly copy plots, songs and even dialogues from Indian movies. Their method was simple. They used to watch Indian movies in Kabul and then narrate the entire story to their scriptwriters who then 'Pakistanized' the screenplay. This is how some of our 'classics' emerged.

In those days, the common Pakistani viewer was without television, VCR or satellite channels. They had to watch whatever was offered to them. As time went by TV sets became common, but the real change came with the entry of the VCR. This gift from the Gulf boom radically changed the viewing habits of the entertainment starved Pakistanis. Now there was a window of opportunity where they could view the latest releases with fresh faces and superior production values.

The result of this new technology was devastating for our film industry as people discarded Pakistani movies and despite the ban on Indian movies, people watched these not in theatres but at home, thus depriving film theatre owners of any possible income.

The alternative solution to this 'problem' lies in a creative approach from local media managers who can make viewers switch to Pakistani channels by putting some imagination into programmes. This is not an outlandish thought. The success of PTV's Nite Time Transmission is evidence of what is possible if media men put their heads together and come up with something of interest to viewers. Similarly, ARY has created a niche for itself with Views On News. The same can be achieved in entertainment too, which is the actual breadwinner for any channel.

Some sections of society have proposed that only Indian news channels should be banned as they carry venomous propaganda, but others claim this ban is unnecessary as it deprives our viewers of an opportunity to know what the other side is saying and more importantly, how they are saying it. Indian news channels offer quite a diversified approach, i.e. from Zee TV's jingoistic antics to the empirical reporting of NDTV. This is a powerful argument as the viewers are not stupid. They will not get carried away by just anything that is dished out to them. People have developed the sense that can prevent them from getting swept off their feet.

Administrative decrees can only grant a temporary lease of life to the local entertainment industry. But in the long run this will bring a severe backlash, similar to the one suffered by our film industry.

---------- also the fact that the muslim actors in indian movies are all indians and degrade pakistan the first opportunity they get,

common man there speaks a mix of hindi and urdu- they call it hindustani , that s the language they have in the movies.

here s something for ***kheads like u .

lollywood movies are not popular even in pakistan. every actor , musician, technician has a desire to work in indian movies. india is an open society and does not have any restrictions on people coming and performing there but pakistan bans indian movies , indian channels , indian performers etc, just shows how overwhelmingly scared we are of theri industry drowning ours - which ofcourse is a fact.

it is idiots like u who are givin our nation a bad name . these guys are doin this cause they want peace between teh 2 countries and want to play their part. thats why they hate apkistan. and by the way we can not deny their mastery over teh art of movie making cause they have numerous top ten and oscar nominated movies and we have nothing . most of teh international studios are there and we dont have nothing. accept it and let these guys do their peaceful endeavors or else we ll be more isolated than we already before. lets talk teh lingo of love. they are making their presence felt in international arenas and dont delude urself of teh fact that indian muslims see pakistan in good light cause i personally saw them spew venom on pakistan and how it was pakistan that was fermenting the divide and was responsible for what india's muslim are facing right now.

at the india day in NY this year he was th egrand marshall at their parade and everything was all rite till he started speaking about terrorism and shit( it is the fav topic for anyone with the mic thes days) . i was a die hard fan of him and now i ve promised myself that i will not watch any of his movies . but u know even after they screwing our trip and ridiculing us we ll still conmtinue to indulge in therir media. that s how pakistan has come to . we r losing our in=dentity .in lahore i was appaled to listen to hindi movie si=ongs on faiz day . the new generation is more clued in on what their star do than our own internal affairs. what more can i say . it s time to wake up

what a movie . i saw it in a theatre and i was totally blown with what i saw . salman has really eveolved as an actor.

But U know what this is the problem with our country.
Wew do not respect the right of voice in one's opinion, thats why islam is the worlds most hated religion. coz we have become the worlds most inconsiderate and intolerant religion.
I am embarassed here to say that I am a muslim. Bcos all said and done we cannot deny the fact that nobody in the world be it jews or christians or hindus want us to exist. why cant we stop all this. we must accept the fact that Islam has become synonymous with terrorism.
On daily basis I am subjected to this discrimination in the United states and somehow I agree with them. they consider us as a threat and dont want us to be here.
Lets try to change ourselves before blaming the Indians because wherever in the world I have gone Indians are very respected and considered as modern progressive people , wheras no body wants to be associated with us.
Most of my Pakistani friends only discus Islam and religion and India. wheras my Indian friends discuss everything from movies to sports even sex. They are fun loving chillout ppl. their mind occupied with so many things and not just Pakistan or their own religion. So instead of banning these people we shud try to change worlds perception about our country and our religion. we watch their tv and movies. we love it. So there is no way in the world that we can be in denial about that. hindi movies are made by india and tjeir regional cinema is not their mainstream movies. thts how the world knows em . My suggestion to all ISLAM and pakistan lovers is that instead of going tit for tat we shud try and win the world over like our religion taught us.
