Satyameva Jayate!

 Sharing a post that I wrote few days back but could not post-

Yesterday Bollywood actor Aamir Khan made his debut on the small screen with his new show called as Satyameva Jayate. There has been great publicity for the serial and the content was also kept under wraps. And as always with Aamir Khan, you can always expect something good in store. And it has proved again with this serial. 

The topic of the first episode that aired yesterday was female foeticide. It was shown how the sex determination during pregnancy is still prominent in India and how the girls who have not yet taken their first breath are brutally aborted. The male to female ratio is progressively declining. The facts revealed a really shocking and sad state of affairs. I was shocked for a moment! Even more shocking was the fact that even educated and well to do with so called rational thinking people are doing that! 

The serial also interviewed few brave ladies who battled against all odds to give birth to their girl child. I salute them. 

In my opinion, the serial is a great initiative and a social responsibility with a message that if everyone join hands to bring change, the change is inevitable. Another commendable thing about the show is when he asked for sms for people’s opinion he clearly mentioned that it would only cost Re 1/- and whatever the amount collected would go to an NGO that works for welfare of women called Snehalaya. Hats off to Aamir Khan for yet another brilliant piece of work. 

Truth alone triumphs-Satyameva Jayate! 

God Bless! 

Cheers!
