Glamourised Suffering

The Nation is raving about "Satyamev Jayate". Aamir Khan's latest drama.
From fairly intelligent, respectful intellectuals to ordinary school drop-out taxi-drivers, everyone wants to register their views and shower the actor with praises.

I am sorry Aamir Khaan Saheb. You still fail to charm me. Not that it matters to you. But then you don't matter to me either. A man who  sermons on social behaviour for a huge fee does not make  a perfect  social crusader ... I can't help but pity the innocence of the masses who seem to love the glamourisation of serious issues like female foeticide and child sexual abuse because the presence of Aamir Khan is doing only that much : Glamorisation of pain

People are generally delighted to see Aamir Khaan on their TV screens, the channel is happy with the TRPs. The Nation listens to horrific experiences of the victims along with Aamir. And this is not all. Sridevi arrives to grace Aamir's show ( how much does she charge for this we would not know  ) to fulfill the wish of a victim....What a special treat this is.... !!!!
The programme gets over. Everyone goes out of their way  praising Aamir !!!!!!!
 And Satyamev Jayate is now available as Airtel Hello tune.

FB and Twitter is abuzz with the details of how Aamir carried himself and  what will the topic of his episode ..... and of course th producers of the show know that it better be more "masala" filled than the previous one ....  Can there be a better example of ruthless  indifference to human suffering ....a more insulting injury to the souls that are already so deeply scarred...?????

We have already proved ourselves to be politically irreparably dumb and now we are proving  beyond doubt to be shamefully inhuman too.

PS :
This was some time back .... Now the show is back .... And National Elections are not far .... Lets see what is for sale this time ....
