PAKISTAN TO ALLOW INDIAN MOVIES TO RETURN
The government of Pakistan is considering lifting a 40-year-old ban on showing movies from India in theaters. The Indian senate's Standing Committee on Culture said that Indian movies ought to be shown in the country so long as they do not harm "our religious and cultural norms and values." Pakistan is mostly Muslim; India, Hindu. A statement released by the committee on Tuesday took note of the fact that Indian movies are already being viewed on DVDs and on cable stations, "necessitating a reappraisal to deal with the issue rationally." It proposed that the ban be lifted for one year "after which the arrangements can be reviewed."
