But After 15 years of Cable and After 5 Years of Continuous Assault from Ekta Kapoor's Mind Numbing Regressive Serials, I think I miss the old DD and its Fantastic Serials of the Past like, The Hamara Bajaj Ad of 1988 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oWFSG0YL_mM&feature=related and the new Hamara Bajaj Ad http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-h8hrlbdEz4&feature=related As I was a Kid back then in the late 1980's my Favourite Cartoon on DD was He-Man...("I have the Powerrrrrrrrrr") http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JEsHUel04dY and I also liked Mowgli and the Jungle Book song written by Gulzar http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9RVgTX55vo and Although I was never too Religious I used to Enjoy watching Mahabharat on TV in the late 1980's http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0qr40A5gkh0 I also liked SRK at his innocent best in his serials Circus and Fauji on DD, before he got Spoilt by Commercialism, post DDLJ. Why don’t they make Good Serials in India anymore like they used to do in the 1980’s like Humlog, Buniyaad, Nukkad and Mungherilal Ke Haseen Sapne despite having Money and Technology?

It's amazing to see Kamal Haasan and Shabana Azmi some 20 years back, and so many others. Wow, Nic, thanks for sharing this - it’s kind of like an Indian “We Are the World”, isn’t it?

Perhaps its time for the government to start broadcasting this clip again - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r0WYbcpyeeg Its a short ad on national integration featuring many prominent Indian personalities from the eighties from different regions of India. It was shown very frequently in those days when we had just one television channel in India - Doordarshan. Most Indians still become quite nostalgic when they see this ad. I think you would be able to recognize many people in the video. Its election year and unfortunately politicians are working overtime raising regional issues everywhere in India.
