Till now we have seen Rihhaee covering serious issues like rape, dowry, drug trafficking, stalking, sexual harassement etc. Which other issues do you think should be shown in Rihhaee?

I would like to see a show about female infanticide. Still in many parts of India, women are blamed for delivering female babies which leads to killing of female babies and sometimes even mothers and men remarry to get a son to keep the name of the family. They should show that women only have XX chromosome and it is upto men's X or Y chromosome which decides whether the future kid be a boy or girl.

The next issue is about family name. If you ask the same people to recall their great grandfather's name, very few probably can. Then what family name are they talking about when they themselves can't remember their forefathers?

Hey bluepink they are great ideas.

I have to think this being a common topic the female infanticide they have to show it for sure. This is so common even today in India and with Indians abroad too. Its so weird that u raise this topic this week. This past weekend we had met one of our friends whose wife is 3 months pregnant and they had just found out that they are having a girl. Before that the friend was so happy to be a dad and now he hardly recognizes the fact. I would think people here atleast would be different but hey its all the same

The issues that I was thinking about not sure whether they have already shown are trafficking of children for prostitution
( i did get to see the end of the preview this week not sure if its based on this) and divorces ( there are husbands who are not giving divorces to their wives after illtreating them)

That would be nice if they show these issues in Rihaaee.

Other issue:Abuse of female child by the people who are close to that child may be neighbours or family members.They should show this because this happens every where in such a manner even that child also sometimes doesn't comes to know that it has been a victim of abuse.

charu_81, That is a very important issue because 90% of sexual abuse happens to girls from known people.

This issue was shown in the 'Kkusum's Kali case' where that girl had a alcoholic father and her neighbor was very nice to her mother and her but he later abused her and she fell from the building. I couldn't see the second part.

Eating disorders, maybe. Its a serious issue and affects many women all over the world. Its not in the same category as rape, drug trafficking and extra-martial affairs though.

Female infanticide is a good issue to tackle. Its sad that people still prefer a son over a daughter. Some things never change.
