India's Zee TV to take Bangladeshi contents to global audiences

[Riyad]

Bangladesh used to make beautiful dramas back in 90's but now Bangladeshis watch Indian Hindi and Bengali serials 24/7. Indian TV giant Zee TV now took initiatives with mobile operator Airtel to bring Bangladeshi contents to global audiences. I think its a great initiative. Indians and Bangladeshis are same people, same culture, same food, same clothing. So it would not be difficult for Zee TV to bring Bangladeshi contents right on track. Hopefully they will be successful to give fresh contents to us.

What types of treatment u expect from the border guards towards the smugglers and human traffickers?

Not saying there aren't any incident where innocent lives haven't been lost but they r few and far between.

It's the responsibility of the Bangladeshi citizens not to cross the no man's land. They r called no man's land for a reason.

Go to India through a proper channel by using authentic documentats and nothing will happen to u.

Millions of bd people go to India every year for treatment as well as shopping purposes. They don't get shot cuz they aren't smuglers.

Same is true for Pakistan where we were good in making TV dramas, than came Zee TV and even Pakistani content is now some what Zee TV style which really suck. I am not going to use Indian Style coz in 90s Dordershan dramas were pretty fun to watch like Bunyad, dekh bhai dekh. Zee has really destroyed that drama in South Asia. Now its married man having an affairs with another woman. His wife screwed by his best friend etc etc etc.

I am kind of ashamed actually to find your Bangladeshi patients in India converse with us in fluent Hindi, something that i can't inspite of me being an Indian. I guess, being culturally similar to India and the immense popularity of our Hindi content in BD contributes to it.

Bangladeshis are Indic people. So Hindi is easy for us to converse with little practice. Almost 90% Bangladeshis can understand 80 to 90% of Hindi. Now, you will see Sylheti members will come and give weird theories of how 'Bangladeshis' are so different from Indians. Don't listen to them. Ignore them. These people want division among people.

Indians and Bangladeshis are same people. Period.

why Bangladesh need some foreign channels to promote them? see Pakistan if you make good entertainment every one will die to watch them. despite indian govt ban on Pakistani entertainment Pakistani content is still very popular among indians.

We, Bangladeshis are obsessed with Indian entertainment. We copy Indian films, Indian serials but with much lesser quality. This is hard to digest for some Bangladeshis but they don't make any effort to change the Bangladeshi sh^^ty contents.

Even to change our film and TV industry we need Indian collaboration because we don't have much talents in entertainment industry. Very bad condition.

i dont think there is lack of talent in 170 million people
as i said earlier you guys need to be proud of your own identity which i am sure is/should be unique.

There is serious lack of talent in Bangladeshi media. Just look this garbage. Everything is copied from Indian media.

Lmao, wtf!! Those are gold dust, shared it on WA amongst my family and friends circle and we had a hearty laugh.

This is why you need to have your own cultural icons; your art, literature and entertainment have been pretty much overshadowed by the giants of West Bengal and Bollywood. Bangladesh tried very hard to forge a new identity for themselves, unfortunately owing to the rich history and culture of WB and India, that will remain elusive for the foreseeable future.

We have so much in common than differences. Never felt different towards bangaldeshis and they are growing tremendously. I studied with many bangladeshi in my university. Amazing friends with them.

Becoz ZEE is one of the largest networks in the world ? and has a very very high production quality, funding, talent and experience ? And i respect every countries industry, but honestly, i dont know anyone who watches pakistani content, not in a bad way but we have so much indian content , we hardly can and even i dislike indian soaps nowadays, they over dramatise these days. But the variety you find is unlike anywhere.

There are always risk of lynching even you go with proper paper Or refusing say joy....ram and get beat up by mob. But hindu ppl are safe.

Thats propaganda nothing else, ask any student who comes here for study, they will tell you. There are just evil uneducated people who do these mob lynchings and police is taking care, a new law is being prepared tackle this. Dont paint the whole country with the same brush.

In what language did you converse with them? While in India they seem eager to speak to us in Hindi but otherwise act as if they don't know a word of it! Also, saw you mention that you are friends with lots of Tibetans too, are you from NE or Himachal/Uttarakhand?
