Actually i am watching only one show now and that is Ladoo. All shows start fine but end up bad like Balika Vadhu, Uttaran etc. Somehow Ladoo has faltered in some tracks but basically 80% of what they show seems ok or can be believed to be happening based on all the TV news reports that we see.
Regarding Raghav and Sia what i feel is both have married each other for different reasons. Sia married Raghav because she liked him and felt he would help her fight injustice in Veerpur and Raghav married Sia because he wanted her to be subjugated by his mother so that he can take revenge for his mothers humilations. Both were somehow not correct reasons to marry each other.
But now both have started slowly understood each others nature. Raghav had been made to believe by his mom that Sia opposed her authority for illogical reasons. That is not the case as Raghav has realized it now.
Sia had always believed that Raghav was cruel like his mother and other brothers but somewhere she also observed his open rebellion to save his cousin sister Jhumar(when Avtar her brother was supposed to stand up for her) and his guilt at Sheela being punished for giving birth to Jhumar. Raghav i guess has not been in Veerpur for long and hence does not know what is really going on. I do not think he is aware of female infanticide in his village etc. He just took his mothers word for granted. But when he saw the situation first hand he is shocked and somehow has tried to oppose in his own ways. So Sia somewhere deep down knows he is not such a bad guy as she had assumed after all. But she is still unsure.
If both of them talk out they will clear all their doubts about each other and can then join forces with the other ladies in the house to fight the injustice. In the end that is what will truly happen.
I basically want them to show things which are true to real life like panchayats pronuncing death sentence to lovers, female infanticide, women mistreatment and Raghav opposing all this. It will not be an easy task because he will be against his own family who support all these practices.
Even more interesting will be the way Ammaji and his brothers react to his opposition. Will they try to crush his opposition, will he be forced to leave his house because of his principals, will Sia be able to open a school in the village like she wanted to?
And here the creatives should not romantize the concept of a Hero rebelling for justice like they do in Hindi movies. Instead they should really show what difficulties a person faces when he opposes practice of an entire society. How people are rejected as outcast if they question society views should be clearly shown in this serial?
Basically this serial has responsibility of raising above TRPs and showing the face of happenings in some society.
Also, they can show things like Female education how its equally important in villages as in city? Why only Raghav was allowed to go to London while Jhumar etc have not even been sent to school being from the same family? I know she was considered as servants daughter but in city and even some villages send servants kids also to school along with their kids. Another thing is there is no age barrier to go to school. So Jhumar should be going to private school passing her SSLC and then going to college. I would really appreciate if they show this track because then Jhumar can stand up for her rights instead of always depending on her mom, sia and Raghav to fight for her cause. It will also send out an impirtant message to society saying its not late to send your girl children to school no matter the age. Or am i getting over optimistic?
Also, i am not understanding when so many important issues are there why should this Sonai be brought in? This should be an eye opening show. I did not know that girls are killed at birth in gruesome manner till this show started. Indeed my uncle who also lives in a village had come over for a few weeks and saw the show and was shocked that all this happens in villages and after seeing this show my one of my neighbour has decided to send his daughter to college. You may be surprised that even in very big cities parents(who are very rich in many cases) want to marry of their daughters after 10-12th instead of sending them to higher education.None of us were truly aware till we saw or heard all this on the show that female infacticide takes place so rampantly. We had only heard of news reports never seen them.
