Too many feminist serials are coming up on Indian television, revealing the ignorance and downtrodden status of Indian women in the society. Don t u feel such serials on national channels demean the present status of men that is almost at par with men?

The women you are talking about are primarily a part of the urban India. in rural India there is lot to be done so that women are given due their share of respect and the right to breathe freely. even today there is rampant cases of child marriages, foeticides, marital violence and exploitation. although i am talking about the rural areas but these are also prevalent in cities as well. But yes i do agree that things have changed and women are also provided more and more opportunities. As far as serials are concerned a lot of them depict successful women. at the same time dont you think they should also portray the other side of the coin?

correct Nilanjana We always see the successful, rich women in the television serials. How about those who suffers alone, cries alone in the darkness of misery? What are we doing for those women who are still tortured for giving birth the female baby child? Nope nomatter what the TV serials are showing we are still standing there where we were few years back

Today s major negative roles or crooks in TV serials are Women no more the scar faced male. - Presenting human emotions through characters does not mean that they are negative all the way. If women are calculative and mean, then here is also the lot that is exploited day in and day out. Its not about being good or bad individuals, its about portraying truths. in a rural set up where there is widespread poverty, illiteracy, caste system, unemployment, child marriages, child labour, human trafficking serials don t really matter much. Reality definitely bites. So instead of painting rosy pictures and debating on Man v/s Woman issues, its time to face the truth.

Nilanjana, what I was trying to point out was that the role of Crooks or Negative roles as they call it nowadays has shifted from Male actors to Female actors. There was no comparison made between Male and Female actors. As such, Man versus Woman issues does not arise.

Well, I think it is better we stop watching the shows that depicts only one side of the coin. That will result in fall of TRPs of these shows and they will stop automatically airing them. It is we people who love to watch such shows and keep ourselves glued to the TV sets. If the concept doesn t sell, nobody could continue with airing these so called popular serials. Our curious mind always wait for the sequence of the next episode and these crooks are taking benefit out of it. Moreover, there should be a complete balance between negativity and positivity in a show but these serials keep showing the negative sides most of the time. Most of the serials depict women either as a business tycoon or as a evercrying helpless fellow. These serials hardly present the real picture of the society. However, some new shows are coming now and for a change they are out of these silly lines.
