Defense Budgets

So, not only is this show a trendsetter when it comes to plot line and the characters of the lead pair, but also the way it can subtly highlight burning international issues. Yet again today we had a very crucial yet important issue, simultaneous to both India and Pakistan - DEFENSE BUDGETS.

"Tumhain pata hai hamare mulk main kitne ghareeb bache hain? jin k pass khane ko kuch nahi hai? kyun k hamare mulk to sara paisa hamari hifazat pe kharach karna parta hai, tak ye log kabhi bhi hum pe attack na kar den"

This is what both India and Pakistan's grave problem is - both of these countries have more than half of the population living under the poverty line, one of the lowest literacy rates in the world, one of the poorest health conditions and still their top priority is defense. Every fiscal year, millions and trillions of dollars are spent of purchasing latest missiles, spend on keeping the army alert on the borders and also sending our soldiers in the chilling peaks of Siachen where even animals don't survive. All this wastage of money on what? WAR? Neglecting your starving children and protecting the borders just because the governments cant come to a peaceful solution?

Seriously.this show is really different..im so happy they r showing such issues rather then the crap they show in other shows..i so hope that ek continues this and do not bring her saas babu nonsense here..im so in love with the leads and actors even sana was good today...

Actually I was skeptical about this show but now I realise that Ekta Kapoor has actually been very brave in making this show...So far I had always associated her with saas-bahu sagas but my venturing into the political arena she has suddenly shown great maturity...

This show is surprising me daily 😆

This is what Iqbal has written somewhere that this show is not against any country or religion

True .. But I think its not a choice.. Its just one thing leads to another and it in turn triggers something new.. Security is very important.. Needless to say India's relationship with Pakistan Afghanistan China are not friendly so at any point of time if India appears weak it can lead to war .. Its not like a single person is responsible for all this .. Its more situational with one thing leading to another and creating a cycle of events.. It had created a web both countries cannot come out of and keep falling deeper and deeper into it .. Musharraf himself accepted that Pakistan's army trained activists in Kashmir long back during the time the freedom movement had started.. Somewhere it was I think their way of taking revenge for splitting Pakistan into Pakistan and Bangladesh which was maybe done by India for security purposes.. So it a vicious highly political cycle with a lot of personal gains as well .. Its not so easy to just put an end to these military and defense activities

Getting addicted to the show after each and every episode.

It's true. Defense and peacekeeping takes a lot of resources which if put to social use can do wonders in lower and middle income countries but the conflict situation is so bad not just internationally but even internally that it has to be given the top priority. One can't call national security issue as a waste of money.
