Pakistani content

Published January 13, 2019

EVER since Indian content especially music was banned from broadcast on Pakistani TV channels, the media bosses have resorted to other content to entertain viewers which is mostly from the Middle East and Turkey. Well-wishers try to promote Pakistani culture, but the media barons have other agendas.

The viewers are missing Pakistani artists. The desire to produce great music, prevalent a few years ago, seems to have vanished.

The Pakistani audience is forced to listen to whatever they are dished out, which for now are drug addict rappers, sexual and abusive lyrics, and inappropriate dancing girls.

If this is not cultural destruction, what is?
