ntroduction



@arents who are aware o! the situation, some o! them also lamed to the %$?$ channels

!or showin" cartoon shows dued in )indi and comin" up with cartoon contents which

*ultural dilemma y )indi *artoons .

are teachin" inappropriate thin"s to their children$ %heir children are so addicted to the

cartoons these days, whene#er they "et remote in their hand no one could dare to touch

the remote until the cartoon shows end$

As days are passin" y, the concern amon" the su!!erin" parents is increasin"$ Cids

who are "oin" to kinder"artens or schools, teachers are tellin" to their parents not to let

them watchin" )indi cartoon shows$ )owe#er, when parents themsel#es are usy with

household acti#ities and os, it "ets di!!icult to spend much time with their kids$

'oreo#er, children in cities "et !ewer opportunities !or outdoor "ames and leisure

acti#ities$ %here!ore, home entertainment like watchin" %$? or playin" computer "ames

are their only choices o! spendin" a little !ree time they usually "et$

Now-a-days, there are numerous %$?$ channels roadcasted !rom India in /an"ladesh$

%here!ore, it is not surprisin" to see /an"ladeshi #iewers pre!errin" those %$? channels

and the pro"rams they roadcast$ Amon" those channels, &3isney(, &Nickelodeon( these

are much popular to /an"ladeshi kids$ %hese cartoon channels show cartoon dued in

)indi which are &3oraemon( in &3isney(, &Nina )atori( in &Nickelodeon($ %hese

cartoon shows are ori"inally Dapanese made cartoons which "ained much popularity in

Dapan$

India decided to rin" those cartoon shows in their country y duin" in )indi so that

Indian children can easily understand the cartoons$ It is a matter o! dis"race that i! India

did no compromise with their mother lan"ua"e, why /an"ladesh could not think aout

the lan"ua"e e!!ect on children e!ore lettin" the cartoon channels roadcasted here

Background



*ultural dilemma y )indi *artoons

rom my ack"round study, there are se#eral e#idences that ha#e !ounded$ ecently,

lo"s, articles in newspaper, %$? news reports ha#e discussed aout the concern$ IFal

=2011> in &%he 3aily @rothom Alo( ar"ued that, 9A "eneration in /an"ladesh is

!or"ettin" our mother lan"ua"e< =p$ 1, para$1>$ )e speci!ically complained aout )indi

dued &3oraemon( !or makin" children cra+y$ )e also pointed out that many kids are

tryin" to imitate the characters in &3oraemon( which seemed to e ha+ardous !or the

child mind$ IFal =2011> also stated that in this cartoon show such e#ents are shown that

are considered as inappropriate in our culture =p$ 2, para$>$

Another lo" &%o )ell with 3oraemon( ar"ued aout the most popular cartoon show

&3oraemon($ amin =2011> wrote in the lo" that this dued cartoon show is

in!luencin" the minds o! children in Indian su-continent countries like /an"ladesh =p$

5>$ ather than deli#erin" some creati#e thin"s to learn, this cartoon show is "i#in"

ne"ati#e in!luence to the children o! the uran areas a"ainst which he con#eyed his

!erocity$ )e insisted that /an"ladesh should immediately shut down the &3isney(

channel$ Accordin" to amin =2011>, 9/an"ladeshi toddlers watchin" the show dued

in )indi, helpin" them learn the Indian lan"ua"e more pro!iciently, which is not really

important !or them<=p$ 5, para$1>$

amin did not lame Dapan or the show itsel!$ )e emphasi+ed his opinion sayin" that at

the end o! the day kids are learnin" nothin" ut how to hide exam papers, use "ad"ets

!rom the characters o! the show$ )e also mentioned his personal experience !rom his

little sister$ 7ith no surprise o! what is happenin" with other kids, his 10 year old sister

passed her all holidays watchin" only &3oraemon(;

Accordin" to an online article &%)E IN:HEN*E 8 *A%88NS %8 8HNG

*)I:3EN( =2011>, 9@arents and teachers may e aware aout the e!!ects o! the



cartoons !or such #ery youn" children ut they may not understand its se#erity< =p$ ,

para$1>$


In this article, an example o! a kid @sycholo"ist(s poll with set o! parents and teachers

has mentioned$ %he poll Fuestion was - 97hat in!luences a child !i#e years old elow to

commit #iolence A$ i"htin" o! their parents /$ @eer pressure *$ *artoons< =2011, p$

, para$1>$ %he poll result was unexpected ecause #ery !ew o! the respondents chosen

the option *$ )owe#er, later the psycholo"ist pro#ed with a #ideo communication aout

kids which showed that 40 o! kids would eha#e like cartoon characters$

%he article stated that suconsciously kids are prone to !ollow what they see and hear

on the cartoons =2011, p$ , para$2>$ 7hen children see !i"hts, !ury, #en"eance they

mi"ht like to exercise them in real situations$ @arents may not understand why children

like to do !i"htin" durin" their playtime ut that is how they learn to e #iolent as they

"row up$

In my research arena, I otted down se#eral research Fuestions to !ind out whether )indi

cartoon shows are really causin" cultural dilemma and i! so then how these are causin"

prolem !or parents$ %he answers !rom !ollowin" Fuestions helped me to "i#e the

desired resultJ-

How often children watch Hindi Cartoon shows?

)ere I would like to !ind out whether the children are watchin" )indi

*artoon shows most o! the time, sometimes or not in any time$

How much time the! s"end on watching Hindi Cartoon shows?

rom this Fuestion I would like to know how much hours the children are

passin" !or watchin" those cartoon shows$


Are Hindi cartoon shows influencing change in the beha#ior of kids?

)ere I ha#e assumed the respondents will "i#e answers like they ha#e

noticed chan"e in eha#ior !rom their kids or they don(t ha#e noticed$

$hat kind of beha#ior "arents ha#e noticed in their children?

Hnder this Fuestion, I will "i#e options such as speakin" )indi, eha#in"

like a *artoon character, doin" thin"s like the cartoons$ I ha#e assumed that

these are kinds o! eha#ior that kids are !ollowin"$

$hat "arents are thinking about Hindi Cartoon shows?

)ere, I would like to collect parent(s opinion aout )indi *artoon shows$

%he opinions mi"ht e ne"ati#e or neutral$

Do "arents are taking an! action to "re#ent their children fromimitating the cartoons?

I would like to ask the respondents whether they are takin" any action to

stop their kids imitate the cartoons$

'y hypothesis is that today(s kids are smart and as usual they try to imitate what they

like$ )owe#er, there is a ri"ht side and dark side o! it$ )indi *artoon show dilemma is

the example o! the dark side$ rom my point o! #iew, /an"ladeshi children do not

pre!er our cultural practices as it is attracti#e enou"h !or them$ 'oreo#er, the )indi

H!"othesis



*artoon shows are "i#in" such concepts and ideas to kids that are not inappropriate !or

them$


I assume to !ind out that the kids who pre!er those cartoon shows are imitatin" or

eha#in" like the cartoon characters$ As a result, they are adaptin" other cultural #alues

rather than their own$ In my opinion, the parents are worried aout this dilemma that

)indi cartoons ha#e caused$

I ha#e done my primary research y conductin" sur#ey and inter#iews with parents and

children$ or the sur#ey, I ha#e desi"ned a Fuestionnaire with di!!erent types o!

Fuestions re"ardin" *artoon show(s contents, impact o! these shows in /an"ladeshi

culture, parents( concern aout their children etc$ 'y respondents were mostly parents

ha#in" kinder"arten "oin" kids$

I had planned to choose a sample o! .0 ut due to short time ein" I ha#e chosen 24

respondents !or sur#eyin"$ 3urin" sur#eyin", I ha#e asked some kids aout what they

like aout the )indi cartoons$ I ha#e #isited two schools near my home to sur#ey with

the parents$ )owe#er, I ha#e !ound some nei"hors who are also !acin" the same

situation with their kids$

%he secondary data has een collected throu"h Internet$ I ha#e used resources !rom

wesites, lo"s and other supplementary materials$ %he !ollowin" is the list o! my

Anal!sis( As it was the Fuestion !ollowin" the pre#ious Fuestion aout whether the

respondents ha#e taken any step to stop their kids imitatin" the cartoon shows, most o!

the respondents ha#e said that they !orid their kids to watch those cartoon shows$

Some ha#e said that they hide the cartoon channel so that kids could not watch the

cartoon shows$ Some o! the parents tried to en"a"e their children in playin" or listenin"

%. &,' f !our answer is no then s"ecif! wh! !ou ha#en4t.

Anal!sis( )ere many o! the respondents responded sayin" that they do not other or

worry aout the situation as they think they are still kid$ Some respondents ar"ued that

thou"h they tried to !orid their children to watch )indi cartoon shows, the children are

not listenin" to them and it will e alri"ht in the course o! time$ So, they let their

children to enoy doin" what they want to do$

rom the primary research result, my hypothesis has een con!irmed as most o! the

respondents ha#e a"reed with my claim$ Si"ni!icantly a lar"e numer o! my

respondents ha#e noticed chan"e in kids( eha#ior a!ter watchin" )indi *artoon shows$


)owe#er, a little numer o! respondents has not noticed any chan"e in their kids(

eha#ior$

%he most important issue o! the sur#ey was to con!irm whether parents are considerin"

this as a cultural prolem$ As more than 0 ha#e a"reed with my claim, it is

understandale that most parents ha#e considered the prolem they are experiencin"

with children(s eha#ior as a cultural dilemma$

Research Findings



In addition, my assumption aout parents takin" action a"ainst their children(s cultural

dilemma due to )indi cartoons has een pro#ed correct$ 'any respondents insisted that

they ha#e done at least somethin" like strictly !orid to watch )indi cartoon shows$

)owe#er, most o! the respondents ha#e not taken any steps a"ainst the situation as they

do not other aout it or do not want o deal with it$

As my research result shows that the parents are encounterin" prolems to deal with the

situation o! their children, I would like to su""est !ew thin"s which can sol#e the

prolem ut will take time$ )ere are some recommendationsJ-

@arents should encoura"e their children more on outdoor acti#ities than

indoor acti#ities$ 8utdoor acti#ities can e #arious sports like cricket,

!ootall, adminton, swimmin"$ eadin" ooks esides the text ooks also

I! parents care!ully allocate time o! e#erythin" they do in daily asis and !ix

a "ood amount o! time to spend with their kids, they can understand what

se#eral cartoon shows which teach children use!ul thin"s like countin",
