I watch ZeeTV here in California. They have been airing a commercial for their affiliation with the theme "The World is my Family" to advertise that they are now broadcasting in over 169 countries and have over 700 million viewers.
The commercial shows Euro girls, American men, etc., dressed in Indian attire, mingling with Indians and engaged in activities as crop harvest, festivals, etc., different ethnicities, it is not Hindu or Sikh, or Islamic or Christian or Bahai specific, it includes religious and cultural representation as found in India, sort of idyllic in tone, actually, some may find it slightly humorous at times as rather cute looking blond haired "white" girls pick or husk crops in the field while smiling with joy.
But it certainly is one more example of the canary singing the truth that the world, indeed, is becoming smaller, family now crosses many borders, those who share communications are part of a world family.
This trend will continue, it will not stop nor can anything stop it.
ZeeTV isn't going to "save the world" with it's soap operas and, frankly, attractive female stars and rather farfetched plots and suspense.
But.... 169 countries, Euros in Indian attire, setting Ravana on fire, opening a door and in Islamic dress, well ZeeTV has decided who their audience is, and that may include Buckingham Palace.
