Effects of the Episodes and Testimonials

Sunday's I'm in the Office during the relay time, as I live & work in UAE and the videos on You tube don't buffer, as it is blocked here. So I do the Torrent Download (some kind people are effort fully and on time uploading them).

I'm excited, tuned and attentive to each episode.

I didn't feel the stroke I felt watching the First and Second episode of Satyamev Jayate, while I was on the Third episode.

I wondered if the punches and the emotions are reducing so early in the planned life of the show - Satyamev Jayate!

That's when I realised Aamir or the shows head would have definitely decided on the most effective topic to start with and then we have many topics that are one time "watch and listen" topics for us now as we feel we are tired of it all..

Few that I could think of are: Government offices and the activities, Court's and never ending cases, Admission fees ( School donation's), Food adulteration through Suppliers, Sports Scams, Election Scams, Land Grabbing and related scams, NGO Scams, Ashram's and the real actions behind those walls, Corporate and Government Job Scams, Banning the Inter family marriages, Child marriages, Early motherhood etc.

Parliament on 22nd May 2012 cleared the decks for protecting children below the age of 18 from sexual abuse through voice vote.

Speedy trials & severe punishment to offenders ranging from 10 yrs to life imprisonment. The bill is gender-neutral, it is to protect children from sexual offences. The most important aspect of the bill is that the burden of proof will be on the accused and not on victim.

It is designed child-friendly and has provisions for in-camera proceedings. Helplines would be put in place for anybody to contact and let the authorities know of any sexual abuse.

Also, a woman officer not below the rank of inspector would handle any complaint.


Even if the intentions were malafide, harsh punishment would be meted out after checking the antecedents of the accused. Imposing of fines has been left to the courts, because there may be a few who would not be able to pay the penalty & there would be a few offenders who by virtue of being rich may keep on committing the offence repeatedly after paying the fine.

One step at a time and the change is possible. For this , I say, Amen.
