Satyamev Jayate ends on a motivational note

Satyamev Jayate ends on a motivational note
After garnering overwhelming TRPs and getting praised on various social networking websites, Aamir Khan's maiden TV show Satyamev Jayate has finally come to an end.

The talk show, which started with the issue of female foeticide, pondered over various burning social issues informing, educating, sensitizing and touching audiences' hearts and ended its 13-week journey Sunday with the spotlight on the right to equality.

It is notable that the show went on air May 6 and in episodes after episode, Aamir brought ahead unknown facts related to child sex abuse, medical malpractice, manual scavenging and dowry. He followed it up off the screen by meeting concerned leaders to ensure the problems are resolved.

He initiated his acts over the issues discussed with his meeting with Rajasthan Chief Minister Ashok Gehlot wherein he requests the creation of a fast track court to decide the cases of the doctors, none of who have been penalized in the female foeticide cases. Along with that the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences Bill, 2011, that was earlier cleared by Rajya Sabha, got the nod from lower house after the second episode of Satyamev Jayate.

Next in line was the episode highlighting malpractice among medical practitioners which even irked medical community. Though the medical community was miffed and asked apology from Aamir, the parliamentary standing committee invited Aamir and the Satyamev Jayate team to discuss the issue.

The grand finale of the show highlighted the basic tenets of the constitution that promises equality for all. Ironically, the people in the country are still subjected to discriminations on the basis of caste and religion. Aamir had asked, "When India's leaders envisaged building a new nation after independence, the constitution was the foundation stone of this Endeavour. We had resolved to establish a sovereign, secular, democratic republic with justice, liberty, equality and fraternity for all. After 65 years of Independence, are we actually living up to those principles”.

It saluted the courage of The Sarvodaya Trust, which gave shelter to both Hindu and Muslim children after the 2001 devastating earthquake in Gujarat as well as Sunitha Krishnan, a social worker who looks to rehabilitate prostitutes and rape victims through her anti-trafficking organization Prajwala.

We just hope that Aamir will again be back with more of such eye opening facts!

Treat the disabled as equals, asks Satyamev Jayate host Aamir Khan

Treat the disabled as equals, asks Satyamev Jayate host Aamir Khan
Aamir Khan so far has undeniably succeeded in leaving an impression on the society about various social issues through his show Satyamev Jayate. And he once again thrilled the audiences as the sixth episode of the show dealt with the disabled section of the Indian society.

The host, who has succeeded in striking an emotional chord with the masses, spoke about how people generally treat their disabled countrymen.

Inspiring the disables, the episode discussed the rights to education for all, irrespective of physical ability. However, the Indian society is seldom open to accepting people with physical or mental disability in the mainstream section. The show played host to blind and lame men who narrated their inspiring stories and proved that they too could fall within the bracket of the fittest and survive with pride.

The audiences also stood witnesses to a noble initiate called Amar Jyoti, a school that welcomes all kinds of children and treats them as equals. The show also urged companies to hire men and women with disability so that they too could contribute to the Indian economy.

Captain Brar, a resident of Ahmedabad has set an example by setting up a company with over 270 disabled people employed. At the end, Aamir spoke about the need to have inclusive educational institutions with quality teaching staff and infrastructure in place that will allow disabled children too to be a part of regular schools and have a normal upbringing.

Keep up with your efforts Aamir

Everything about Aamir Khan is incredible and when he makes his debut on television, it again has to be very special and this is the way it has turned out to be.

It is learnt from the sources that as the first episode of the superstar's debut TV show Satyamev Jayate was aired, about 100,000 people dialed in to speak to him to initiate a serious discussion on social issues facing the nation.

Out of approximately 100,000 people who made the effort of calling in to share their views about the show through the Airtel Talk2me, only around 10 or 11 were actually able to speak to Aamir due to time constraints, said a source from telecom company Airtel, which is facilitating the SMS and dial-in procedures for Satyamev Jayate. Revenue from each SMS will be donated to charity.

Nevertheless, Aamir engaged in quality discussions with the callers. He shared views on social activist Anna Hazare's movement against corruption, took up issues regarding female foeticide - the doctors who conduct sex determination tests and abort the girl child, and how the medical system of the country fails to take any action against such law breakers.

Though a lot of people tuned in to watch the show, and subsequently took to social networking platforms to share their views on it, Aamir says Television Rating Points (TRPs) do not matter.
