Actually, I am going to watch it. I want to see how the CVs handle a rape scene - do they make a mockery out of it or do they protray rape in the manner rape really is? Will they show it's devastating effects on the psyche of an individual? Will they show what you need to do afterwards such as contacting the police, getting the girl to a doctor or will they make everything a hopelessly bad dramatic scene?
Laila I agree with you and rather than writing it again and again here are my thoughts on the topic of RAPE..
This appeal is from a loyal viewer who is originally born in karol-Bagh ,NEW_DELHI and this was the sole reason this name caught my attention. Having said that I personally have never liked or watched any Indian shows or serials before but Karol-Bagh promised the goods to bring the TABOO issues in the Indian society and that is what derived me first towards this show and after I got addicted to it hook- line- and sinker. Given the story does not appeal to me some of the times but over all the issues like the YOUNGER-BOY. Vs. OLDER WOMAN, THE UNWED PREGNANCY, THE REALISM OF THE SHOW, VERY REALISTIC COSTUMES MAY BE TOO REALISTIC!! AND ABOVE ALL NO MYTHS AND BLIND-FAITHS IS the reason I stayed with this show and having said that I for one know this show has the potential to go in history and beyond that. So these were the accolades for the show.
But this is my humble request to bring this issue as to educate the public and not to glorify the act and to boost your TRP and the dividends on you banking. Or to show us the rape in the love manifest in its entirety to glorify this vicious act.
Recently in the western world this buzz is going around that now the creative's are getting ready to introduce the very controversial very tabooed topic not just in INDIA but anywhere in the world. My request for the Sun shiner's is to do your research and then think it twice and may be thrice before you go gallivanting on this road because the roadblocks are many and praises none.
RAPE is an extremely touchy and least talked about issue and on top of it human sexuality is another complex issue and hardly well understood. In the past we have witnessed karol-bagh entering in the unknown domains without the through research and the facts to back it up. That being the case with the more lighter topics now to venture out with this serious topic brought to the public the caution should be used and is a MUST.
I am well aware of the facts that your industry thrives on the galore of such topics and the issues but like I said this is a serious issue with the after effects and the mental status and not to talk about the medical repercussions for such a cult to happen .. Very sensitive issue on terms with the feminine gender and their families.
I read somewhere that your shows are taped well two weeks in advance and for that I guess it is already too late for us to appeal to stop the airing of this episode but Karol-Bagh being the master of bringing issues openly I do hope the delicacy is needed and a thorough research would help to bring this issue not only to educate the public of the side effects involving this torturous act but also the awareness too. If the rape scenes are going to be shown please make sure that the consequences are also shown. And them being the shame on the part of the feminine gender , sexually transmitted diseases, the legalities ,Social ostracization, potential pregnancy and its effects on the entire family and above all the psychological impacts on its young viewers.
Thank-you' for taking the time to read my concerns.
