Culture in Television Serials
Culture in TV Serials Culture is an aspect that distinguishes our country from the others. Cultural aspects of India are various. They differ from different states and provinces. Indian culture that comprises of languages, dance, religion, epics, cuisine, music and other factors forms an important and crucial characteristic of India’s identity. Television as a means or source of conveying culture and tradition has not been at its best and can also be considered. Cuisine and lifestyle of people in Uttar Pradesh are also displayed. The spicy and rich dishes of Uttar Pradesh are enjoyed by people in the serial Pratigya. People and their lifestyles in Uttar Pradesh enlighten us to cultural exuberance. Uttar Pradesh is marked by cultural traits that are portrayed and conveyed in serial Pratigya. Facts reveal that kindness, tolerance and simplicity are moral values that consist of culture. TV Serials nowadays convey these values to very less extent. Serials are just comprised of exclusive fights between adults and kids or some love between young adults or the active role by villains that sometimes bring the twist in the story or the climax scene. As per facts, Indians are loosing touch with the glorious past and we as Indians are forgetting our Indianess and weastern culture is gaining more emphasis. Media is used as a medium to make the Indian culture more important through serials and programs. Serials portray some kind of cultural aspect that would be liked by the viewer rather than normal saas bahu conflict. The target audience of such serials are mostly housewives during the afternoon time and the viewership is at its peak. The time slot being generally from 2 am to 6 am people prefer watching these serials with leisure and comfort. Therefore television is also concerned about culture and therefore shown in various serials and programs. Nowadays or at present people are moving towards western culture and our old Indian culture seems to have destroyed or lost somewhere. Fortifying and strengthening of Indian Culture through serials can be indicated as per facts. Television has a history and being aware of it is superior and fine. The first channels that came up were Doordarshan and Metro culture was not used in TV in those times. Recently this idea came up and it was shown and known as an aspect in a serial. More and more serials should come up with a cultural aspect rather than the common love stories or comedy or any common theme for a change to the viewers. Not only in Hindi serials but the Marathi serials can also be shown with the culture of some state related or the Marathi culture itself. Marathi culture and traditions are well known and can definitely enrich any Marathi serial. Serials therefore having a cultural aspect can be popular and known too. In fact some Marathi serials demonstrate Marathi culture and such Marathi serials are liked by Marathi audiences. Being aware of our rich cultural heritage and expressing it through serials brings more viewership as per facts.
 * Moral values like kindness, tolerance and simplicity that are a part of culture today rarely exist. It’s a fact that India is known and identified for its culture. Every state has different cultures with rituals and sacrifices that are performed in India and no followed in any other country.
 * TV Serials present social problems as Child Marriage etc. Some other problems are forceful marriage, ill-treatment of women, politics in the family, kidnapping etc.TV Serials most of them portray culture of some states to a major extent. For example, Pratigya (Pooja Gaur) as the protagonist from the serial comes from the respective state, culture of the respective state is portrayed. As the protagonist is from Uttar Pradesh the culture of Uttar Pradesh is shown.
 * About the culture, festivals are shown like Holi, Diwali, MakarSankranti that are celebrated in great enthusiasm. Culture of Uttar Pradesh is given more emphasis in this serial. Songs and Music are also given importance and this includes Ghazals and Thumari that is another musical genre.
