Aamir Khan and his show Satyamev Jayate have managed to strike the right chords with the selection of topical issues like child abuse, female foeticide. The nation now eagerly awaits the next topic of discussion

According to our reliable sources, the next topic taken up is likely to be the burning issue of dowry which is still very much rampant in modern India. However modern our outlook may be, the word 'dowry' is still a bad nightmare for the bride's family.

The very reason for the people in India preferring a boy is the bother of getting a girl married, the whole lifetime of savings of the girl's father is washed away in arranging for her daughter's wedding. In spite of doing all this there are chances that the groom's family may still remain unsatisfied.

Every person knows that this dowry practice is incorrect and intolerable, but not much is done to curb this menace. Lets hope by taking up the issue we may find a positive change in the attitude of the people towards this evil.

Yeah, another much needed topic. Instead of trading your children as some goods, focus on their life and choice.

I was expecting this! I knew he would handle the dowry issue right after this as it does make sense, kind of a continuity of theme from female foeticide!
Im sure Aamir and his team will put to shame the vile, greedy in-laws who demand dowry and material goods for marriage of their son! Even worst the monsters who take this a step further and kill the bride for failing to satisfy their greedy demands! 😡

I saw Oprah's show ...where they showed a hospital in banglore where women burnt for dowry were admited in a ward ..there were so many women there and it was pathetic ... one small burn on our fingers hurts so much ..imagine being 70% burnt. Can you imagine how rampant this is ...???

Yes it is about extravagant weddings (with expenses disproportionately put on bride's family!) and of course dowry (practised by rich and educated ones too, who put price tag on their sons based on qualifications and jobs!).

I am glad they took it up. It is one of the main reasons for low status of women and rampant practise of female foeticide. One of the main reasons why a parent starts to feel burdened the moment a girl is born.

Some women are made to pay dowry throughout life as husband and in-laws keep demanding money from their families from time to time!

Would you believe? In a case in Haryana some years ago, the groom's family not only took cars, gold jewellery, kitchen ware, furniture, expensive clothes but also demanded that girl's family get their younger son (girl's to-be devar) a job by ''using their influence''!🤢 Pathetic! Tumko gehne, car bhi chahiye aur apne nikamme bete ke liye naukri bhi ladki ki family ke through hi chahiye - warna shaadi cancel!😡

I wish SJ discusses this issue in depth, inviting people from all classes and investigating all angles - than just victims' pain. It's one issue which is BANE of Indian society and reason for many girls wiped off to death among Indians!
