Satyameva Jayate - A start of a revolution

Satyameva Jayate is the new show by Aamir Khan telecasted in Star Plus at 11 am every Sunday. This week being the show made its debut covering one of most sensitive social issues in modern india - Female feoticide. This show is not for the faint hearted and if you are someone like me who can't stop the tears then you should watch the show online rather than with family and friends. Female feoticide has been prevalent in India over the last few decades. There has been several attempts by film makers through films like Matrubhoomi and there has been several documentaries, news articles to educate people the reality and stop this. However, Aamir khan has taken it to a new level.

The efforts in making of this show is commendable, It starts on a very sad note and only gets sadder in the first three women he interviews. Each story more heart touching that the other. Then he starts analysing the root cause of the issue, how this all started. There is some light hearted views on guys who are still waiting to get married and he takes a dig at Sallu bhai. He also discusses the plight of two brave journalists who sting operations revealed the sorry state of indian hospitals. He also discusses a role model who was able to have an impact on this issues. Finally he urges that this problem will only be resolved if each one of us make an impact in our own lives.

I thought Rang de Basanti was a master piece but this has the potential to go from a T.V. Serial to have an impact on the people and the government.From my view apart from the family members who support this crime, the prime accused are also the educated doctors who are perform this crime. Come on, how can you sleep at night if you kill innocent babies during the day. How can these people forget that their existence in this world was only possible because someone had not killed their mom before birth.

It is a sad reality that people have got used to. The Government of India has to answer now and take strict steps to show the world that this is no longer acceptable. The doctors will be more afraid to support this crime. Sincerely hope the revolution started today doesn't die tomorrow and people go back to their lives.

On a lighter note, there is news in victoria that there are only 86k blokes for 1.3m females aged between 25 and 34. This mean i have a better shot a the local pub than waiting for my parents to find the right girl.
