Several television stations in Afghanistan have ignored a government ban on the broadcasting of Indian soap operas.
The authorities have said the broadcasts are in conflict with the country's Islamic values.
The ban came into force on Monday night, but some private television stations have continued to show the popular programmes.
The government says that infringements of the ban will result in punishment.
Conservative Muslim clerics in the country argue that the serials, which show dramatic and passionate love stories featuring the elite of Bombay, are immoral.

Interesting. But, what exactly will be the context? I mean, the focus is on the exoticism of the so-called Indian values for an Indian audience, right?
