I'm glad you liked the entry! I've not heard of Kanal D before or those shows before. Could you please enlighten this ignoramus? :)
I never watched The 300 and I'm glad I haven't either!
Propaganda through film was especially prevalent in the state my parents are from, Tamil Nadu in southern India. Even today, all the chief ministers of the state since 1967 have been actors or screenwriters of celluloid fame. Throughout the 1950s and early 1960s, they used cinema as a way to socially engineer a cultural revolution. Now they are just corrupt and feeding off the wealth they have accumulated over the decades. Sadly this is the story of humankind.
