Diya Aur Baati Hum, is about Sandhya's struggle,
who dreams to become an IPS officer. She dreams to
break the boundaries of her narrow confined existence
of middle class values. The story is also about Sooraj,
who is a sweet talker and a self made man. Sooraj runs a
sweet shop near his house which is famous.
Sooraj and Sandhya get married. Sandhya will not be
able to finish her graduation. Soon she is part of the family
she does not even know. This story is about Sandhya's struggle
to fulfill her dream and a journey where she finds help
from the most unlikely quarter - a lover who can make it possible.
This is the synopsis of DABH.
While telling the story of Sandhaya's struggle some lessons for
mass education has been included which are really praiseworthy.
The first one is our obsessive love for male children.
In twenty first century, we are not supposed to have that
obsession. But it is still very much there.
Next is, ladies activities are to be confined within the four walls
of the household.
I hope, Sandhaya will prove it to be unjustified.
The most important one is cheating people in the name of
religion or religion related things by fake sadhus, tantricks etc.
We have already seen some of these from the fake baba story.
Some people cheat not so educated people with tricks, hypnotism etc.
DABH has pointed about these things to people who think that all
sufferings and mishaps are created by enraged God or evil souls.
I can recall of an organization, named " UTSYA MANUSH"
in Jadavpur area of Kolkata. That organization used to held
discussions , seminars and demonstration of those tricks publicly,
for mass education.
Hat's of to the producers to utilize such a great platform for mass education.
