Haven't been watching the past few episodes because of lack of electricity in the blessed place that is my hometown😆
BUT I loved your post. Whoever is stating CC as a typical Saas Bahu show can do so but I initially felt it was different. My best friend told me herself after seeing only the first episode "Arre Yaar ye to saas Bahu wala show hai". I of course couldn't say anything to her, being teenagers she would probably stick to a love story.
I on the other hand being a teenager with a bent of mind[Or Atleast what my friends think😆] and hence I stuck to CC. There are a whole lot of shows where the evil of dowry is being touched upon but the common denominator as you suggested is that "illiteracy" is shown as a reason. Uma behn on the other hand made me relate to the situation immediately because she is not exactly from an illiterate or poor household plus the fact that dowry Wasnt being portrayed as taken "directly" ,if you know what i mean.It was referred to be in the form of a "gift" to the daughter, something that is used to hide the fact that dowry is dowry after all.This obviously shows that many of the social evils are not necessarily rooted in small towns or villages with uneducated classes.A perception that needs to change.
The point you mentioned about bribes being offered in religious places is something which disgusts me. It is so annoying and unfair to realise that one stands in long lines to get into a religious place which has barely air to breathe while the so called "VIP"s can cheat their way through by having the privilege to clear the entire area.
What of "God has created us as equals" then?
*sigh* A whole lot of blabbering was not intended. I just loved the post you see, please ignore my sermon where it sounds utter nonsensical :P
