[Assam] Satyamev Jayate - 6th May 2012

[Wahid Saleh - Indiawijzer]

Like my friend Ramdas, I am not much of an Indian TV buff. From him I got
the link of Satyamevjayate - Aamir Khans' social activism programme. Aamir
Khan is using his celebrity status to promote social change. I watched the
link on YouTube

( see the link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1vASMbEEQc  ). The first
episode aired on Sunday 6th May was on female infanticide.  It is 64 minutes
of absolutely riveting TV, that had many in tears including me (as you will
also see Aamir Khan & several in the studio audience). This is for real and
incredibly powerful. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u1vASMbEEQc 

 

I am including a few related links.
