Well, according to me a human being not only requires knowledge but also requires 'entertainment'. Now lets be a little truthful, we can't forever watch discovery, nat geo etc channels. We definitely need a break from our boring and monotonous lives. But I do agree to the fact that foreign channels are destroying our culture, but who is following it?Our nation's leaders (politicians) who are supposed to be examples of justice & truth are corrupted & filled with treachery & deceit. Our democracy stands for freedom of choice, so I guess every Indian has the freedom to choose whatever he or she likes. Now I'm pretty sure if given a choice most of us will prefer to watch '--x & the city' over animal planet. But its the children of our nation whose minds should be protected. Parents should take necessary steps like child locking certain channels. Nowadays even cartoon network shows cartoons of such violent nature that I feel even that should be prohibited. But in the end its a person's personal choice. We can't simply blame everything on the foreign channels.
