Satyamev Jayate

This is regarding the show which is being aired on star plus every Sunday morning. The question is “Is it really worth watching?” I would say yes. Anyhow Star plus have created an interest among the audience by roping in Bollywood star Amir Khan as the host. The show gives us a brief idea of what actually is going on in our country. The first episode was about female foeticide where he discusses how pregnant women are forced to abort their child if it is going to be a girl child (determined through sex determination test). Amir debates about this in a very good manner.

The other episodes were about child sex abuse, Indian wedding (dowry case) and then about unprofessional doctors in our country. At the end of the each show there is one heart touching song which is actually for connecting to the audience As Amir says “Agar mere dil mein nahin,toh tere dil mein  sahin”.

Negatives:

One point to be discussed here is what actually the show is trying to achieve. The present season is not yet over, so can’t comment on that really. I hope it is not just for high TRPs, ratings etc. Amir gives us hope at the end of every episode like in first one where he decides to write a letter to Rajasthan CM about the cases. So, what we actually want to know is, is the work done just by writing a letter? Are the show’s directors and team still working on that case and letter or just moving on as all people do.

This is where they have to change. Just taking one step is not enough for a solution to a very big problem. What they are doing is before one problem is solved, they move on to another one thus increasing the work load. I think Amir and his team must have even forgotten about the first two cases.

Positives:

The show has positives too. Every coin has two sides; the other side is “At least someone is taking an initiative!!” If not solving problems, at least they are making the people of our country aware about them and giving knowledge about how from our side we can stop it i.e. not doing the crime yourself.

Finally there is something worth to watch on TV. So, I guess everyone should watch this show instead of all scripted reality shows and decide whether they want to do injustice or justice to the future generation.
