Missing Satyameva Jayate

Satyameva Jayate will be truly missed after last week aired the final episode of Season 1. I always thought why corruption was not brought up as an issue. It could be one of two reasons, either it is something aamir and his team dont have the courage to showcase or an hour's slot was not sufficient to talk about this and they might need an entire season to talk about this.

However, Aamir had a different perspective. He dedicated the last episode to people who deserve to be recognised for their selfless acts and who never got the limelight they deserved. We often criticise people, who have done anything wrong more than encourage people doing the right things. I guess the media has a major role in shaping the way we think. Today people of India know Amarjyoti Kalita, the pig who molested a teenage girl in Guwahati but how many of us know about Sunita Krishanan, the iron lady who has rescued several thousands of women and children from sex trafficking and slavery. Even if the media had used 5% of the time they spent on Amarjyoti for a reasonable cause or on people like Sunita, they would have changed our perceptions.

Obtained from the internet. A truly inspiring show
Could nt have asked for a better finish to a touching finale of Satyameva Jayate. My favourite section was none other than the section by Sunita. Just when i thought what an amazing women she is, i was moved by her talk on Ted. Another person who belongs to the same league is Narayanan Krishnan. Seeing all these, i feel privileged and thank god for all that he has given me. Satyendra Dubey, was another great story, his voice against corruption brought him a lot of laurels and sadly his death. I always thought one man cannot make a difference but i was proven wrong by both Aamir and Satyendra Dubey.

Looking forward to the next season of Satyameva Jayate and sincerely hope the fire started by the first season doesnt slow down.
