Aamir Khan, the bollywood film actor known for doing movies
that focus on the social situations in the general everyday environment, has
flooded the television screens with his TV show ‘Satyamev Jayate’ . An
inspiring show that started off the first show confronting the topic of female
foeteside, gained popularity as soon as it aired!
The social issue being talked about today (13th May 2012) was ‘Child Sexual Abuse’. How children have been abused and how it doesn’t matter whether you are male or female. How the people who have experienced it have grown out of such an incident in their life. How they teach you to stand on your feet and tell your parent if something is wrong.
Aamir Khan’s approach towards all these issues is tremendous and I genuinely hope that this can make a change in our society. The only question that I ask myself is – Why only Aamir Khan? Why is it that no social media like a news channel was able to spread awareness?
I wish that the news channels could hold a larger hand in spreading such awareness because there are certain areas where all people can listen to news but not all have the access to turn on television and go to a paid channel such as ‘starplus’. People in villages generally do not get to have a proper satellite TV connection. The news channels are free channels and can hence spread a wider message.
Hope the social media can pull up their socks and start showing information about the various social issues on free channels accessible to audiences anywhere and everywhere. And hats off to Aamir Khan for taking a step towards informing humanity and making a difference!

Thanks @Rythem! =)
Hey Srish, I agree with you. While Aamir is doing a fine job (I saw the episodes too), much more needs to be done by everyone else including the news channels.
Thank you Taru Massi! =)
