The India I left behind!

I have been staying abroad for some time now. The India I left behind had people with some solid values. Families had their ups and downs, quarrels and gossips. But what is shown in the serials these days is unimaginable. Is this what My Dear India has become? Now according to the serials no relation is sacred. A missed phone call breaks a marriage, a devar marries a bhabhi, a sister has illicit relations with her own jijaji! (UGH!) , people divorce but stay together, family quarrels go to such an extend that people are murdered like ants, no one works but talk is of millions of rupees, people are so heavily made up all the time that it appears that there is a party going on day in and day out! parties are thrown to celebrate the breaking of marriages!(huh!) , people divorce and people marry at the drop of a hat, getting pregnant and having a miscarriage is buying an icecream and dropping it! (😡). The list is endless. What has happened to my India! the country where people struggled to live but were so loving. Respect was given to elders. Money was scarce and children were taught the value of money! Now it seems that all children are living the life of filmstars. Looking at the news and serials now I feel that the whole India I knew and loved is lost somewhere in the ocean of wealth throwing away real values that make a person an Indian in the process! Are people in India really living like this????????????

I perfectly understand what you mean. But honestly its silly to think EKTA serials depict the truth . I think its all about TRPs... and she gives audience what she thinks SELLS. And people watch it and seem to enjoy it too.

To think thats the truth is incorrect. The problem arises only if REAL people start imitaing REEL people by getting influenced by the CRAP she shows. I don't watch the serials because they mock the very existence of social relationships.

Ekta serials are totally disgusting in my opinion. The only two serials I found were tolerable were Hum Paanch and Kutumb ( the first one)..
