Babuyadav,

You bring up a very good point. I have been talking about this thing with friends for a while. You talk about the variety of television programming that has been pushed into Nepali society. You are so right. There is so much that it is over-whelming. I wonder to what degree Nepali society has changed because of this?

In many ways, I feel that the reason that Nepali society is changing so rapidly is because of the variety of media.

Historically, the Rana's controlled the amount of exposure that the common people had. The bad side to this was obviously that Nepalese did not have access to the kind of information and knowledge that benefitted them. Then obviously in the 1950's that slowly opened up.

But it seems that today, we have almost gone to the other extreme. Definitely education-wise, Nepal and Nepalese have access to all kinds of media and information. But I don't think that is only a positive thing. I feel there is a negative side to this also. We have more quantity of information but, Babuyadav, as you pointed out, the quality has gone down.

What do you think?
