What so fussy about SMJ!

The actor turned crusader Amir Khan is touching the pain full points of Indian governance and system. Some are happy and many are unhappy with this little ray of awakening. Is Satyamev Jayte is another program to talk about malfunctioning of the great, lazy and failed Indian system! People caught in the act are blaming the ace actor for being money and publicity starved. Leaving all the controversies far behind people for whom Satyamev Jayte is conceptualized is liking the show tremendously.

Every episode of Satyamev Jayte is raising an issue with a fresh approach. Emotional talk on the show with those who have suffered is hitting the audience right on their heart. Amir as an anchor sheds tear of sympathy with victim and with Amir Millions of people across the India couldn’t control themselves from crying. Amir literally connects emotionally to the audience with the show content. Amir is enigmatic in his own way, he don’t have the have an imposing and impressive persona like Amitabh Bachchan, charming and witty style like Shah Rukh Khan and heart winning attraction like Salman khan as an anchor. While the other stalwarts of B-town came to small screen for entertainment only, but Amir came with a difference, with a social cause. For perfectionist khan this might be another challenge but for the people of India it is not less than a hope of change.

The question of the hour is that what Amir is doing must have done by the Indian media. Indian media is very powerful and very influential. Over the years sensational news became the taste of the news. Crime, sex, politics and celeb controversies are the perfect recipe to raise the TRP. The issues of social concern gradually buried deep. Problem does persist but hardly gets converted into news. Forget the prime time anchors discussing about some serious issue, even on the weekends there are no shows dedicated to social issues. On small screen time is fixed for different formats of show. But there was no time to talk about the issues which are more concerning, more appealing but less TRP boosting. Satyamev Jayte is exemplary for the Indian media, because it succeeded in collecting good ratings for the channel by raising known social issues. This enlightment should have initialised by the Indian media. Nevertheless, it is not late yet. Like Amir did, many stars would be waiting to pursue the same path to connect with people at ground zero. Satyamev jayte is purely Indian show by an Indian for the Indians. Let’s make the show a movement for social revolution.
