Indian Soaps Banned in Afghanistan


I've got to say, I think I agree with the Mullahs on this one. I'm not a big soap opera fan either.

"Alim Jamali, 27, a psychology student, said the Indian serials are "just like opium -- they make everyone addicted and distract them from the work of rebuilding our country." All Afghans want education and rights, he added, "but they must be within the frame of Islam."

I don't know, though, that's a pretty bold statement. How about--"Soap operas are just like huffing glue", or "Soap operas are almost as addictive as a delicious McGriddles sandwich at McDonalds." To me that sounds a lot more reasonable.

i kinda agree wid u...these stupid soaps are one of the biggest reasons that Indian tv sucks so badly...bt then, wat do the poor afghans do? it was the lack of entertainment that made most of 'em join the taliban in the first place...happy entertained people rarely cause trouble...just a thought

McGriddles are addictive, but I would have gone more along the lines of Krispy Kreme donuts. I would not be suprised if they put crack in those things.

Interesting post.

I'm not going to defend the value of vacuous soap opera's Indian or otherwise (what they must think of American or Australian soap operas?)

But surely freedom to choose is something worth considering? Imposing religious doctrine upon others because you believe it to be the correct way of living is more dangerous than bad television!

Cheers

That is real interesting I often 'ban' things for myself so I can focus on school, music or getting adequate sleep.

In support of Afghanistan's action will ban Bollywood soaps from my daily actives. However I wont be giving up Indian (Canadian Aboriginal) soap operas, I just can't.

I think you've gotta cut her some slack, randy...an overabundance of melodrama and bare midriffs will do that to a girl.

TRM, I'm certainly not going to argue the merits of KK donuts.

Rob--I will pray for you that one day you might be able to loose the yoke of Native American soaps. I think you've got it in you.
