I lost Imagine TV, and honestly, RS alone didn't justify changing from cable to dish just to add this channel, when the rest of the programs on it are mediocre. That's like buying a CD only for 1 song.

Aside from that, I don't blame viewers for not watching. If this show is about the pros & cons of quotas, show that! It's a very engaging subject - both in India, as well as in the US (in India, it's caste based, while in the US, it's race based). And if it's supposed to be a love story, show that.

But from the above description, one thing that sort of turned me off was the lead girl losing a bro/cousin in 1990, and yet being attracted to someone who benefited from the system that the sibling died while campaigning against (in the 90s, such deaths were usually self-immolations, but while one doesn't justify suicides, the fact that people felt compelled to take such drastic steps should have made her nauseous to any beneficiary of the system. After all, if despite 80% marks, Shivam failed - and what was it - just not being in the top 10% of those who passed, or 80% itself being inadequate, then did Priyam really do the wrong thing after all?)

If Sumedha is going to be attracted to Aakash, the plot would do well to show him as at least having passed on his own merits, like scoring high marks (definitely higher than 80%), and being suspected of being a beneficiary just b'cos of his caste/creed/tribe/whatever, in order to justify the plot. Otherwise, it would simplly look like Sumedha putting her libido ahead of Priyam's sacrifice. 🤢

The other thing - here, everybody is trying to join the IAS. That's fine, but why don't they show guys like Shivam & Sumedha try other things like work in the Private Sector, after they fail? That would also illustrate the folly of trying to spread quotas to the private sector - something that was mulled by pols, but never went anywhere.

lemme clear things-
1. Aakash is not the one who has been benefited by the quota system,he was the topper of his batch n so bcoz of his hard work he has become an I.A.S. officer n not bcoz of the reservations.
2. Sumedha is not attracted towards Aakash but treats him like she used to do earlier(when they were small kids).
3. As u pointed out that everyone is trying to join IAS,u r partially ryt.....Priyam,Shivam,Aakash n now Sumedha,all r trying to do the same...but Sumedha is doing it for fullfilling his uncle's dream...for Aakash-it had always been his ambition...n for Shivam-he's gone completely mad after failing in the xam for consecutively years, everyone tried to make him understand that u should forget it n just go for another thing,but the moment he hears it,he starts yelling out loud at ppl....Aakash also tried talking him out but he shouted at him too......n moreover he has lost his gf bcoz of failing in the exam,so he is quite frustrated.
.........so somewhere i think the show is going logical,don know what will happen after Aakash-Sumedha's lovestory.....

What is the Reservation legislation? Can someone please give me more information about this qouta system Akash is benefitted
by.

actually, in India, govt. has reserved some seats in the civil services for some backward classes(SCs,STs,etc.)....this means that in an IAS exam-a person who belongs to lower cast will be preferred than a person who is frm upper cast even if he has got much more marks ....

Thanks..Its a nice Serial and i highly recommend people to watch this.
