Satyamev Jayate!
by hemant tiwari on May 09, 2012 10:37 AM

The show is 'satyamev jayate'.
He is showing the truth, he is helping people already involved in the social cause.

So we need Bhagat Singh but he should be Amir not us ????
by Himanshu Chaudhari on May 09, 2012 10:33 AM

Educating a person is as important as making a change. He is asking people to make the difference.

This is not a program of type sansani, he made it clear that these matters are subjudice and we cannot comment or conclude on it...

He rightly targetted the educated masses this time as we are living in a imaginary world where we think uneducated people are creating all the problems in the world...

He was spot on with his topic and content.

Completely Endorse Sheela Bhatt for once
by S S on May 09, 2012 10:31 AM

I am normally antipodal to any view held by Ms. Bhatt, but this once I totally agree with her and here are my reasons

1. The show has noble intentions but at the end of the day it does not seek to jolt people, anger them, irritate them etc, it merely is a show that places facts before the people

2. Like Ms. Bhatt says that in itself is a great enough deed but I think the time for information is well past, the time for action is neigh and in this regard the show will not do anything other than provoke some tea-stall discussion where everyone will feel good about discussing the issue and afterwards revert to their saas-bahu saga's till the next week.

3. Fundamentally such shows should not be sponsored because there are similar issues such as foeticide which will and should be brought against corporations that are sponsoring the show and the same will never happen

4. Lastly this is not an indictment of the show or Aamir Khan but merely a wishlist of things which if done will certainly not make for great television but might get people to take some real action which will help the nation.

There is nothing new in this new serial of Amir Khan.As long as police are currupt and judiciary is slow this type of evils will continue.Look at Anna Hazare.What happened to his movement.No support from the mass.Amir is only making money by showing somebodys misery.He has not come out with any solution to tackle the issues.Let him start a NGO to address such srious issues.This serial will not stop such problems.

The work of a critic
by Lokesh S on May 09, 2012 10:28 AM  | Hide replies

" In many ways, the work of a critic is easy. We risk very little yet enjoy a position over those who offer up their work and their selves to our judgment. We thrive on negative criticism, which is fun to write and to read. But the bitter truth we critics must face is that, in the grand scheme of things, the average piece of junk is more meaningful than our criticism designating it so. But there are times when a critic truly risks something, and that is in the discovery and defense of the new. ...

Not everyone can become a great artist, but a great artist can come from anywhere. .... "

-- Anton Ego, a fictional critic in Ratatouille

Indian Idealogy:Indian Psychology:Indian Philosophy
by ambrish nigam on May 09, 2012 10:26 AM

I am not surprised by the content narated by Ms. Sheela Bhatt.. She is the class of India.. from whom we expect... the view expressed by Ms. Bhatt.. We don't do anything.. but we are ready to condemn others..Some times back.. Ramdev.. Anna.. Kiran Bedi.. all part of same vagan.. We recall when Kiran Bedi was the Police Suprentend at TIHAR Jail.. She brought a real change the way we treat the prisoners in Jail.. Lot of Ho..Halla was made by the Journalist community.. but today we recall..the great service by Ms. Bedi..

You can all it..the idealogy of Mud slugging.."hamam mein sub nange hain" kind of attitude..

Aamir is not here for a revolution.. He is not here a next Gandhi with Camera.. After all Gandhi & successive Gandhi have done enough irrersivable damage to Nation "India".. He is here to think introspect & make a bit of small step in the right direction.. I recall.. Mr. Subrata Roy Sahara once said,"take care of small things, Big things will take care of themselves.. Take Care of Child. Men will take care of themselves.. Lets move in the right direction.. don't get tired till u are dead.

It is fighting the villian in minds of people
by ashish bhatnagar on May 09, 2012 10:24 AM

The programme , as I understand, is trying to influence people's conscience- it is not of the cadre to create fear of law or go into nitty gritties of villians of a specific case. It is only trying to fight the villian inside the minds of persons. Let us not try to belittle the fantastic initiave.
