Our TV shows, the daily soaps used to come out as an inspiration for the viewers many times, like Diya aur Baati Hum that showed the path to the glorious post of an IPS officer, or Sapne Suhane Ladakpan Ke, in which people are allowing their daughters to play hockey and join fashion designing as a profession and fight against corruption, against blind faith, against every bloody thing. There are many more inspirational TV serials in the list.
But now one more trend has started, a trend to show women in the house as a weak victim to male ego. They are beaten, restricted at homes, used as sex objects in many of these serials. Latest addition to which is "Doli Armaanon Ki" which is aired on Zee TV. If it is done to gain TRPs and if the TRPs are really going up then we are sick. If we enjoy a lady being beaten up then we are really sick.

Now you all would go on and tell me that you want to witness the fight back of that lady against the evils of our society. I mean seriously?
You want to let the lady being inhumanly beaten up, tortured directly by her husband, so that she could just stand up the other day, go to the police station and then cry her heart out to just prove that her severe condition is due to her husband only and she has not cooked it all herself.
You call it a fightback? Okay fine then.
But why not such kind of a fight back for a man? I have never seen male members of a family going to a police station to demand justice against their wives. Why are we promoting actually this kind of a society?
Okay, you want us, the citizens to learn from it? There are other ways too.
Divert! Look around. World has grown. Show women empowerment and let a girl child learn what all are her rights.

| "Sadda Haq" |
Ever heard of Sadda Haq - My Life My Choice aired on Channel V? It is a story of a girl named Sanyukta Agarwal, who's grown up in a patriarchal society, her father and brother loves her a lot but do not want to fulfill her dream of becoming a mechanical engineer because "she is a girl". So, she runs away from her house to join her college as a mechanical engineering student where at every step she has to take up an exam, an exam to prove herself in front of the male ego, so-called masculinity of the society. And eventually she transformed a "Male Chauvinist Pig" into a human being, Randhir Singh Shekhawat, now respects her intelligence and good-will.
Now, this is called a fightback.
Think about this issue once!
Stay tuned!
