Kay Kasoor hai Amla ka !! SERIOUSLY
There is this new serial airing in my country-India, which is based on the atrocities faces by a gang rape victim.
The above statement summarised what my topic of writing this blog is, and let me first clarify before anyone starts to bash out how dare I speak on a topic as such, I am not here to list out rights and wrongs, but just my view and perspective on what responsible creative media should be like in a country like ours-India.
This show from what I saw till now is based on a girl, gang raped, in pain, feeling violated, and a society that blames her, a group of four men violating her and then finding a way out, a lawyer supporting them after they accepted that they committed such a heinous crime, a family where her sister in law is not supportive and blames her, hides evidences, and a long painful journey of losing love and everything.
PEOPLE please stop, portraying something so horrifying with such horrifying conclusion will not help any women here, it will drive people away from opening up about such crimes, it will give people ideas of how to rape and escape justice, it will show how no one will support you through all this, it is worrying that such a topic has been turned into a show with so many vamps and villains.
The sensitivity of this topic, the mindset of our society, the age group which has access to such a channel all point that it should be dealt differently, it should show what a person suffers post committing such a crime, that people support the victim not the one who commits the crime, I strongly feel ours is a society which can learn from consequences of the act rather than the atrocities of the victim.
I have heard of instances where people learned how to murder from movies, serials... and now this how to rape and how to escape.
Indian television is in hands of people who show that how a plastic surgery and lot of money can let you live a life without having to being punished for any crime, how a good person is always unhappy, how you family will not trust you when required, and how no one in your family can be trusted as there will always be one person wanting to hurt you, such television makers should be banned for life and made to watch all their serials back to back everyday, only then they will know of the suffering they cause.
Sensible television is a dream of 2030 maybe...
