“Sathyamev Jayathe“ is the first small screen venture of legend and one of my favourites in Indian cinema, Amir Khan. I have been reading the news of this serial since long but did not had much interest to know more in detail. May be I expected the kind of body language of this serial well in advance which went wrong eventually. Yesterday while I was talking to Rachu, she pointed that the serial went to air first time. Since I did not have many things to do, I opened my laptop and browsed for youtube link of “Sathyamev Jayathe”. It was the official link of the serial and I started watching it. From the initial five minutes I understood the intention behind this venture. It’s nothing but highlighting the social issues faced by India which made me more interested to view. The topic was about infanticide. In other ways, intentional killing of infants. But this was not new information for me. I have heard a lot about this issue in my past and I treated this to be a general issue normal as many others in Indian society. But I changed my thoughts, my views towards social cause started fluctuating. The stories told by three mothers in that episode brought the sense of real thoughts in my mind. Has this happened in India? This is what we call infanticide? I could never believe the words explained by great mothers in that episode. Why? Why are we like this? Are we not responsible for killing a female infant before the birth? Yes we are… What did that infant do to us? Getting life in this beautiful world is one of most precious gifts from God. We have been granted with that gift, what right we do have to take away that gift from someone? Moreover, on top of that homicide, blame is for mother. Why again? Hardly people knew the fact the men are responsible for birth of a child. Women’s responsibility is to carry and bring that child to outside world. But we are blaming women for female infants. Sometimes you do have to think that everyone is responsible for this issue. Firstly because of the ignorance we don’t pay much attention to understand social issues of our country. Being an Indian citizen, we have to.
Mr Amir Khan, you have almost everything in your life. Huge fan following. Great movies you made which were considered as the nominations for Oscar. Fame, money, life…. I don’t see any benefits for you by crafting a program like this for gaining something beneficiary personal. You always think differently and you are trying to enact those thoughts to public. So far, I understood this much. Hats off to you, the great man!
Mr Palash Sen, your Euphoria must be a great musical icon. But before you make childish and foolish comments like copyrights issues of just two words of choruses, just think that you are showing your heights of idiotic stupidity. Rather than accepting the real face of social issue (infanticide) and the intention behind the program, weeping for useless copyright issue is not fair. Moreover there is no truth in your arguments. Sathyamev Jayathe chorus version is somewhere near to Euphoria's version. A man who has crafted this program does not have to steal your tone to prove his capability.
