With time, Indian small screen programming began, mainly from the early 1980s.
During this time, there was only one national channel, the government-owned Doordarshan. The Famous Indian epis, that is, Ramayana and Mahabharata, were the first major television series produced.
They notched up a world record in viewership numbers and by the late 1980s, more people started to own television sets.
Today's Generation
In today's world television is available in most of the houses in various types, shapes and sizes. As well as more modernized television sets are available in the market.
As the rate of the selling of television is increasing, the problems related to it are growing too.
Mainly the youth of the nation are affected because of them. Adding to the point, the youth are addicted to their televisions which have caused them various disorders and mood effects.
Television which once was used as ease for people is now taken as a bad advantage. The people should pay attention to these otherwise it could affect the nation and future generation in the worst way.
