The truth of Satyamev Jayate
Since last few weeks we have seen viral effect across the nation for a television show hosted by Bollywood Star Amir Khan named “Satyamev Jayate” and these days ... we have come across a large number of people discussing and praising the show and also some of them were considering making donations and sending SMSs to the show in public interest, our purpose for writing this post is to let those people know that how and where their donations and revenue generated by SMSs will be used.
The foundation where your donations and income via SMSs will go is called “Humanity Trust” and this is the website of this trust: http://www.humanitytrust.com/
This website says that some of the objectives of their foundation are:-
Masjid Construction assistance. (Bore/construction helps)
Placement assistance for Islamic youngsters (notifications about jobs across various geographies )
Now look at the irony here: people from all over the country belonging to different religions and communities are sending SMSs and making donations, and you can see clearly that money is spent on people of just one particular community and religion – the Muslims!

Isn’t it unfair that first you are attracting people from different religions on emotional grounds, and when they fall prey to it and give donation, you are using that money for communal purpose without even informing the people where their money is going to be used? How will building mosques and madrasas helps our nation? And if it doesn’t then why are people of this country being fooled like this and no one is raising questions? Are only Muslims unemployed in this country? If not then why this step-motherly treatment to people of other religions?

"Love Commandos" has become a familiar term for thousands of television viewers. Fifth episode of 'Satyamev Jayate' talked about the issue of honour killing in India. Sanjay Sachdev, chairman of Love Commandos was interviewed by Aamir during the show.
The name of this organisation sounds like a Bollywood film and they are the real heroes for many couples. In a scenario where a large section of society is still against love marriages, Love Commandos provide help to lovers.
Established in 2010, it is a voluntary organisation having a national network of volunteers. The volunteers include lawyers, journalists and human right activists as well. They provide counseling to youngsters through their helpline. Apart from that, Love Commandos provide food, shelter, protection and legal assistance to the couples who tie the knot against their family’s wish. They have seven shelters for lovers across India.
Working with a motto of 'no more honour killings', Love Commandos was established by a group of friends with Harsh Malhotra as the chief coordinator.
The organisation motivates couples to stand against the caste system. During the show Sanjay Sachdev said, "According to the Supreme Court, caste system is like a curse to our society. Inter-caste marriages can actually save our society from division. The entire society has to understand this."
A few members of Khap Panchayat, who are strictly against love marriages, were also present in the studio. And Sachdev didn’t fail to take dig at them as well. Sachdev added that even police officials consider love as a crime. Do you think having more organisations like Love Commandos can help in stopping honour killings?

Aamir Khan was asked for apology for accusing doctors of malpractices in his TV talk show 'Satyamev Jayate'. Is he doing something wrong? If we see the highlights of the points in his fourth episode, it is mainly indicating what is actually happening in the society in more or less amount. He has tried to gather proofs and exposed them amongst general public. People who involved in pharmaceutical manufacturing or trading business knew better that everything shown in the episode was true. Doctors are getting different kind of perks from the pharmaceutical companies to promote their products. Pharmaceutical companies offers a foreign trip to some expensive gadgets, sometimes cash as well.
We have consulted few small business owners, who have started pharmaceutical business recently. If they want to promote their medicines, they need to offer some kind of perks or offers or sometimes cash commission. If doctor convinced with his share, then your product will be prescribed by doctors and pharmacy shop will sell it. The shocking thing is doctor's commission varies from 30% to 50 % of retailer price, which is very high. All the burden is included in MRP of the products as 30 % of doctors' commission and 30% of retailer's discount. Retailers' are doing business so he can ask for his margins, but doctors are charging fees to the patients and writing only those medicines, from which they get maximum commission irrespective of how much it will hurt to patients in terms of money. They want to get rich in any case. Big companies offers big perks like holiday trips and electronic gadgets. While small companies need to compete with big companies not in terms of quality but in terms of doctors' share. The end result is patients always suffering after paying higher cost for medicines and doctors' consulting fees.
The show Satyamev Jayate is really bringing the change in a society and important thing is that actions are taken in no time from authoritative government agencies. It will really help the society to see the much needed change. Aamir Khan and Satyamev Jayate might be a new"Time" Magazine Cover soon.
After the broadcast of First Episode of Satyamev Jayate about female foeticide, Rajasthan Government and Madhya Pradesh Government have took immediate steps to show a support to the society. Whether it will really lead to change or just a cheap publicity from government, we will see in future. But clearly the effect of the show is visible.
Satyamev Jayate |
Just three days before the much talked about episode of the Aamir Khan hosted Satyamev Jayate on child sexual abuse, the Rajya Sabha passed The Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Bill, 2011.
The Bill seeks to protect children from sexual abuse with provision for setting up special courts for speedy trial and stringent punishment including life sentence for committing sexual assault on minors under the age of 16.
Second episode of Satyamev Jayate is on air and it is about child sexual abuse, but controversial thing is no children would be able to watch it. The issue is such a sensitive that even host Aamir Khan has requested viewers to let their children not to watch, if they feel. Only adult parents can stay tuned to watch it till end. Will it impact positively or negatively to the show, we will see. Critics might get something to create an issue, but the reality behind it is true.
Stay tuned for more arguments related to Satyamev Jayate.

Stay tuned for more arguments related to Satyamev Jayate.
The second episode of Aamir Khan's much talked about television show Satyamev Jayate is likely to deal with the abuse of children, according to sources. Given the huge positive feedback generated by the pilot episode that tackled the contentious subject of female foeticide both in rural and urban India, the second episode is likely to be even more explosive in form and content.
According to the sources, Aamir has been working with a string of NGOs working with children abused sexually either at home or outside, often by people they trust. So there are indications that Aamir intends to drop a bigger bomb on May 13 at 11 AM during his show on Star Plus.
If that is indeed the case, then Aamir would stir up a hornet's nest as statistics have shown in the past that sexual abuse of children is rampant in Indian metros, with the abuser often known to the child.
A survey conducted in 2007 by the Women and Child Development Ministry and the NGO Prayas in association with Unicef and Save the Children across 13 states and with a sample size of 12,447, found that 53.22% of children reported having faced one or more forms of sexual abuse. Andhra Pradesh, Bihar, Assam and Delhi had reported the highest percentage of such incidents at that time.
In 50% of the cases, the abusers were known to the child or were in a position of trust and responsibility and most children did not report the matter to anyone. The aim of the study was to develop a comprehensive understanding of the phenomenon of child abuse, with a view to facilitate the formulation of appropriate policies and programmes meant to effectively curb and control the problem of child abuse in India.
The National Study on Child Abuse is one of the largest empirical in-country studies of its kind in the world. This study also complements the UN Secretary General's Global Study on Violence against Children 2006.
In the first episode, Aamir talked about the killing of unborn girls, an alarming reality not just in the far-flung cow belts but also in urban Indian households. Aamir said it involves the collusion of families, doctors and a social structure that encourages the desire for a boy child - at any cost. The result has been the death of over 3 crore unborn girls since independence and a generation of young men, many amongst whom will find it very tough to get a life partner.
He also set up an SMS poll: "Do you want the Rajasthan government to set up a fast-track court to process the cases arising out of the sting operation on doctors performing female foeticide, carried out by Meena Sharma and Sripal Shaktawat? SMS Y for Yes or N for No, and send to 5782711."
The feedback has been overwhelming. Three days after the show was aired, the Madhya Pradesh Health Department suspended the licences of 65 Medical Termination of Pregnancy centres for not submitting their reports on the prescribed form. Meanwhile, Aamir met Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot to appeal to him to take action in old cases of female foeticide in his state.

Chief Justice of the Rajasthan High Court Arun Mishra has given an in-principle nod to set up a fast track court for expediting trial in cases of female foeticide.
Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot met the Chief Justice over the matter on Wednesday night, official sources said on Friday.
Strongly taking up the issue on his show 'Satyamev Jayate,' actor Aamir Khan had met Gehlot on Wednesday evening requesting him to establish the fast track court to decide cases which were pending in various courts.
Gehlot had assured action in this regard and said that he would speak to the Chief Justice to bring all such cases under one court so that they are heard as soon as possible.

More Viewers than IPL and Soaps
Aamir Khan's debut on the small screen, Satyamev Jayate, which has captured the imagination of a large number of people and has been a constant talking point across the social networking platforms, has earned a rating of 3.8 in the three Metros of Delhi, Kolkata and Mumbai on Star Plus, according to TAM data released by the channel. That is higher than the IPL 5 ratings (based on the released figures after first 16 matches) which stood at 3.65 at the end of April.
That way, Aamir's show has garnered higher points than even the popular Hindi soap, 'Bade Achche Lagte Hai' which has garnered a 3.54 average rating. The serial had reached a 4 point rating following the 'bold' episode that was broadcast but TVRs have steadily dropped in the last few weeks to average out near the 3.5 mark.
However, other soaps like 'Uttaran', 'Balika Vadhu' all garnered higher-than-5 ratings when they opened, only to slump down and average between 3 and 3.5. So, whether Satyamev Jayate can sustain the good start remains to be seen.
Across six metros, including Chennai, Bangalore and Hyderabad, the average TVR of Satyamev Jayate stood at 2.9.
The debut episode scored maximum in Delhi (5.9 TVR), followed by Mumbai (3.1 TVR) while Kolkata touched 1.8 TVR.
In Mumbai, the show (dubbed in Marathi) on Star Pravah garnered 2.2 TVR. On Star Jalsha, the leading Bengali entertainment channel, the show just managed 0.52 TVR.
On ETV in Telugu (Hyderabad), the show got 0.88 TVR, while from the same metro city the show clocked 1.1 TVR on Star Plus.
In Tamil on Star Vijay (Chennai) it fetched 0.68 TVR. In Bangalore, where it was not dubbed in Kannada, Star Plus managed 1.3 TVR.

In his tv debut show Satyamev Jayate, Aamir Khan has gained a wide support from different class of people from India. His show may be a big hit and conveyed the message in a right way to the respected authorities of different depart.

But it might get changed soon as its message was effectively communicated and might push authorities to show action against it.

Stay Tuned for More
"Satyamev Jayate " a first TV appearance of Aamit Khan, was begun today. With a lot of advertisement and publicity, the show portrayed the message on the first telecast on Air. Aamir's hosting could live up to the expectations and might get a busy Sunday for all the Indians from now.
It could give a boost to already struggling team anna in a national movement, if it hits right. As it seems to be. Anna Hazare will get more public support if such political topics get covered later in the episodes
What’s the show about?
What’s the show about?
It’s clear, now, that Satyamev Jayate will highlight problems in India that we are all familiar with. The construct will be along these lines: a) definition of a problem b) demonstration of the impact of the problem c) the reaction of the authorities to dealing with the problem d) Aamir’s suggested action e) call for viewers’ involvement and support.
What makes the show interesting is that there will be an element of ‘naming and shaming’. Each episode, while focusing on victims will name the wrongdoers – even if we do not see or hear them.
Today, the show focused on female foeticide and its impact. It showed women who were tortured and forced to abort female foetuses but didn’t quite name the guilty, but we know who they are. The friends, families, colleagues and neighbors of the women on the show all know who they are — and I wouldn’t want to be in the shoes of the guilty. The same is true of the government authorities and the doctors who are highlighted in this case.
In the future, the ‘named and shamed’ could be builders, contractors, architects, vendors, development authorities… The possibilities are endless.
The concept of Satyamev Jayate is as far away as it can be from the satellite television fare we are generally used to. It’s forcing us to look at real issues and problems, not in the superficial way that entertainment TV has done in the past decade, but in a more involved manner.
Anna Hazare tried the same, with corruption as a focus. He successfully highlighted the issue, but was undone by in-your-face news media, over which he had no control. That’s why Aamir Khan is brilliant; getting non-fiction content on STAR Plus protects him from the harsh glare of news media and the attendant dangers.
There’s no doubt the show works .It’s bigger than I first thought. It’s Anna Hazare, Medha Patkar and Sunita Narain rolled into one — except this creature has brains. Lots of brains.
