🎬 When TV Was a Classroom of Imagination
The 2000s gave us iconic kids shows like:
🧚 Son Pari – a fairy who taught kindness
✏️ Shaka Laka Boom Boom – a pencil that sparked creativity
🗡️ Hatim – fantasy wrapped in courage and purpose
🧟 Vikraal Aur Gabraal – spooky yet smart horror
🧙♀️ Shararat – magic with family values
These shows weren’t just fun—they encouraged critical thinking, values, and imagination. Watching them felt like entering another world—not just wasting time.

📉 Now It’s a Circus: Welcome to “Nonsense Hour”
What do today’s kids get?
🔁 Chhota Bheem, Motu Patlu, Shinchan, Doraemon — on infinite repeat
🤪 Screaming, fart jokes, useless running around
🧃 Sugar rush animation with no story, no depth, no lesson
It’s not just different. It’s a downfall.

🤔 What Went Wrong?
Then (2000s) Now (2020s)
🧠 Imaginative storytelling 🤯 Loud, ADHD-paced chaos
🎓 Life lessons & values 💩 Slapstick nonsense
🎭 Real actors with emotions 📢 Cartoon voices shouting constantly
🏡 Indian culture & folklore 🌍 Random time machines and robot cats
⏳ Weekly excitement 🔁 24/7 repetition on loop

📛 “Children’s Intelligence Is Being Insulted”
Let’s be honest: today’s children are being robbed of quality content.
These shows don’t challenge their thinking, don’t tell them anything new, and worst—don’t respect them as smart human beings.
Instead, what they get is:
💢 Over-stimulating colors
😵💫 Screaming instead of talking
🍔 Endless junk-food-themed episodes
💬 No real storytelling, just random noise
It’s like feeding their brains junk food every day.

🧠 A Disgrace to What It Once Was
Imagine going from:
✨ Shaka Laka Boom Boom’s creative spark
✊ Hatim’s moral bravery
😄 Shararat’s humor with emotion
…to 🔄 100 episodes of Bheem eating laddoos while slapping monkeys.
This isn’t just bad—it’s a disgrace to what Indian children’s entertainment used to be.

📢 What Needs to Change?
1. Better Writers for Kids Shows – Children aren’t dumb. Treat them like smart viewers.
2. Cultural Stories, Not Imported Chaos – Indian folklore has rich content. Use it.
3. Limit Repetition – One good episode is better than 300 garbage ones.
4. Bring Back Live-Action – Shows with real actors made emotions more relatable.
