Ramchunder, There is scope for NRIs to enter the English language media. But it has to be a small start, targetting a very specific audience, offering good comparative essays - providing information from abroad that Indian newspapers are not good at. The Hindu, one of our left-wing newspapers [ which won't publish any letters contrary to its ideology - it does not believe in freedom of expression in the same way as Western newspapers ] started a magazine called, "Front Line". It has not done well, because readers could see that they are brain-washing. Your second point abt the quality of Indian movies is also valid. I feel sick at times even to catch a glimpse of the same type of "nanga natch" that is part of every movie here. The dead-habits of our producers, directors and even, song-writers are the reasons why Indian movies have not had such success in other cultures. The story-line is very predictable, the songs are full of words like "mohabbath" "taqdeer" "aank" and so on. If you collect those words and put them through a computer programme you can come up with about 5,000 different songs. Compare these with the songs of a film like "Siddharth" produced by a German director but in Hindi, you will know the difference. Bollywood and Kollywood have reduced the intelligence of our people by about 40%.
