Violent cartoons like Shin-Chan leading to bad behaviour amongst Indian school children
The cases of violent behavior amongst children is increasing by the day due to violent cartoons on TV.Note Cartoon Watching has become a favorite past time for children in India .This is due to a number of reasons like the busy life of parents,nuclear families,lack of safe open playgrounds etc.
In July 2006, when Shin Chan first appeared on Indian television screens, there were concerns regarding language, the behaviour and the mannerisms of the character Shin Chan. Due to this, the government banned Shin Chan in India till all such objectionable content was edited out.
This is leading to the harmful development of school children who try to repeat behaviour of cartoons in real life at schools.Bashing up classmates and objects becomes justified in children's mind as they see them on TV.Using abusive language and bad behaviour are some of the other harmful mannerisms being learned by children.
In our opinion children need to be encouraged to go out play with peers as this provides both exercise and a chance to develop interpersonal skills. It in a way is also the parents’ duty to censor what their children watch.

Yes. In the name of creativity, exploitation is taking place. As they are vulnerable, its we who should take care of our children. (from same article posted on different forum)
you are 100% correct. Moreover, the problem aggravates when affluent parents unawareness on the ratings on of these games makes them to buy for their kids which not only results in bad behavior (least of it), but worst to it encourages violence of different sorts. As many of these games have terminal victory coming only after doing some violent or vulgar act, which parents don’t realize and won’t know unless they play the game along with their kids. Most of the time this credits come at the end and no game seller will be honest enough to inform before selling them to vulnerable customers, i.e., kids.

Very much agree!
Cartoons aired today are encouraging violence and disrespect for elders among children, Children don’t need to have animated role models.
Parents should get more involved with their child’s activities after school.
Play educational games where the child learns from the parent like vocabulary, spellings etc. Discovery Kids is a great channel for children to get interested towards nature in this concrete jungle we live in.

There are games and activities available which focus on parents involvement and learning while playing.
Few available products, A board game like monopoly but based on India mythology, A Card game which lets children learn new words the fun way with parents and friends.

Sudarshan,
1. how many such games are sold compared to other?
2. how many are played as family (parents) as against friends?
3. most have side effects of encouraging gambling kind of habit!
