Hi there,

That was a great article; however, I need to disagree on a few points.

First, you mentioned that Kyunki degrades women because we have people in the show who believe that marital rape is not a problem. Let me first begin by putting this show in context. We must remember that Kyunki is based on the Indian society in India...not the USA, Canada or Australia. So, we are bound to have people in India who believe that marital rape is fine.

One good thing Ekta does show is that although she has some people saying that marital rape is fine, we also have other characters saying that it is dead wrong (Tulsi, Damini, Ganga, Karan, etc). So, we cannot just look at one side, but must look at the fact that there are other characters who do not support it. Also, note that the lawyer Meera argues in court that India does not have criminalize marital rape, which gives people around India something to think about.

Second, you mentioned that there was a scene where the mother-in-law said that the bahu should be concerned with taking care of the home. Remember, once again, based on India. Also, you fail to address the fact that other women in show supported Ganga in her desire to work for the family company. A good thing that Ekta shows is that the grandmother was arguing that the bahu should stay at home; however, the younger generation women had a different view and believe that women should be able to work (this sends a good message to older Indian women in the INdian society). Also note, that Ganga began working!!!

I understand that Ekta goes a little far when she has people getting married and divorced a hundred times; however, we must give her credit for empowering women. Tulsi and Parvati (from Kyunki and Kahaani Ghar Ghar Ki respectfully) are powerful women and an ideal that women across the world can look up to. They are both constantly seen as supporting the truth regardless of whom they have to go against. I think that is something to commend.

I think that when criticizing Ekta and the general public for watching soaps, we must look at all facets of the argument, otherwise one fails to make a strong point.

Lastly, if we succumb to bashing Indian television then what can we say about Bollywood movies....are they not the same???

Cheers.
