MTV Splitsvilla is another popular reality show in Bangladesh. They do not want to buy these traditional sarees anymore. The once popular Benarasi saree is becoming nearly dead because Bangladeshi women want to buy Indian sarees which are worn by Hindi serial actresses. Many people visit these places to want to get a haircut or a look like some actress. Tailor shops are continuously getting orders to make dresses worn by some Indian actress. They talk and dress like the Indian TV stars. Children who have been growing up watching these Hindi programmes fail to understand the true value of our culture. The Indian culture has mixed with our blood. There is a Sangeet ceremony, a mehendi ceremony, and some more such ceremonies. Earlier when Bangladeshi weddings were limited to two holuds, a wedding and, a reception or maybe engagement ceremonies at times, now some people have wedding ceremonies which last for at least seven to ten days. Now there are Indian rituals involved with our weddings. Even Bangladeshi weddings are the victim of hindi serials culture. The influence of Indian culture is uncontrolled everywhere. Rather than expressing their own thoughts and ideas, they prefer to copy the Indian culture. Indian culture is eating up the creativity and productivity of many talented Bangladeshi individuals.

Nowadays, from child to men all watch Hindi programmes including movies.This success is not for the Bangladeshi culture, but for Indian culture. There was a time when teenage boys never watched a single Hindi movie. The strongest influence of this culture is on children and women.

Now there are more channels than there were channels on a TV set back in the 90s. As days passed, the number of Indian channels began to increase. They ate, drank, walked, talked, shopped, and slept like Indian people. But unfortunately, in Bangladesh, always the negative side of all good things seems to influence people the mostīangladesh Television, which actually aired really good US TV serials, the Bangladeshi people soon began to become addicted to the Indian culture. The media is an effective way of influencing people. Bangladesh took a 360-degree turn from their previous first choice of western culture to a totally new and rather prominent culture. Now, the dominance of Indian culture in our society is very much evident with introduction of satellite television in Bangladesh back in the early 90s. Earlier, Bangladeshis were greatly influenced by the western culture. This is common among the younger generation of our country. Rather than being proud of our own culture and heritage, nowadays, Bangladeshis are more prone to either adopting or blindly following foreign culture. Cultural imperialism is rather widespread in Bangladesh.
