Television in India is turning people watchers than doers.

Television is increasing its watchers day by day, thus reducing the number of doers. But is television at fault here or are people to be blamed?

For
- There has been hindrance with the people’s ability to grow and lead an active life and TV plays a major in this interference.
- TV has become an addiction and people have become dependent on it.
- It has become a physical dependence of majority of people living in India.
- The educational channels have reduced rapidly and vulgarity has plunged a great deal forward making more people attracted to it.
- Television is creating dreamers rather than doers. People have started devoting more time in viewing things rather than doing it.
- TV arises many unrealistic ambitions and expectations about the way of living of an individual.
- The programs often show mediocre actors with their ill formed views.


Against
- TV is great medium of providing sound knowledge about many various things, including various remedies for different diseases, yoga, etc which are practiced at home by the viewers.
- The infomercials shown on TV act as aspiration for many, especially the unemployed.
- TV shows lots of documentaries and scientific discoveries which educate people to a large extent; they make them aware and encourage them to do something in life.
- TV is a great form of entertainment which stimulates or creates the interest of the youth in art.

Television in India is surely attracting a lot of people towards itself, making them idle but it is also the medium of indirect education. If used with intelligence and discrimination by both producers and viewers, then it can become a blessing in disguise and not a curse to mankind.
