Part of the joy of India is the culture. In C's world, her favorite show (only 1 show per day) is Shin Chan. This cartoon is about a badly-behaved Japanese boy who routinely flashes his bum when he doesn't like something. He tortures his parents and has a sturdy side-kick (his dog). They out-do Calvin and Hobbes, her favorite reading material.
Shin Chan is here, in Hindi, at 1 PM. It is censored by the strict Indian national board of broadcasting, so we allow it. In the original Japanese, I am told, is it way out there.
Shin Chan is in almost every language, except English.
And we're moving back to the U.S.! No Shin Chan!
We were tracking down every possible way to download Shin Chan in Hindi. Poor Ismail has to drag himself to shop after shop to find a videorecorder (he found one in the thieves market). Then we have trouble hooking it up to our more modern TV.
Finally, we found this. HOLY SMOKES! It is on YouTube!!
