You could say that again, and it still wouldn't seep in. I am going to come and clearly say it (and no, I'm not sorry). The issues that the current track is being compared to are dire and are best left to the people that can discuss them without being insensitive. If not for anything else, then these posts need to stop for the sake of the grave social and historical background associated with such words. It's insensitive, insensitive being an understatement, to use these words/concepts so casually.

For the record, the correct term is "trafficking".

Did he not trade her for his sisters life and she was not given a say at all. She was dragged against her wish . It was a trade .

Trafficking is when you do it secretly and make money for it. there is just not one meaning for trade and hope you can look it up. Trade for money or batter trade. Fictional shows make an effect on people.

If these fictional shows portray the wrong message to the viewing public than yes one has to take a stand.

Since this is your post and you love me, I'm going to assume that I can indulge in (bitchery) some healthy discussion here...

I don't know if people realize this, but almost all the posts lately seem to be jackhammering the same old nail. And honestly speaking, it goes beyond beating the dead horse. If you are really that frustrated, do a google image search of "baby animals". It will keep you entertained for hours. But ranting about the same inconsequential things ain't gonna get any of us anywhere.

The "melodramatic" part of the title is so apt for this forum Candy! There is an elitist attitude that is just getting to me. I understand that we have two groups of people: the people who believe in constructive criticism, mockery, satire, and jokes at the expense of other people's art and then we have people who nurture the creative endeavors of others and take Thumper to heart with that whole If you can't say something nice, then don't say something at all. And that's fine. But then we have the swayers too. They sway depending on the situation and these are the ones I have a problem with.

For the record, the ambiance of the forum has reached this melodramatic stage because people won't quit, nor are they willing to be constructive in their criticism/ take a drama at its face value. It's really not about being in the middle, holding hands, and singing Kumbaya. It's about deciding whether you want to really stick around and watch a drama keeping in mind that it is fiction with fictional characters, or simply leave.

Do you mind telling me why exactly didn't she speak up herself though? Usually, she never shuts her mouth then what happened all of the sudden?

I looked up trafficking and it says doing human trade for various purposes and certainly there was nothing related to Asad's purpose was mentioned there!

& What if these fictional shows are trying to bring out the reality of our society? There's another way to look at it too. Maybe she's not trying to preach but instead show the sad realities of our society, how about that? & Why not see what message she gives in the end? What if she's actually trying to show the reality of our society and will give out the message at the end of the track?

Fair enough that she may give a message at the end of the track but the damage would already been done by then. There are many many illiterate people in India who would take a serial and it's initial message as the gospel truth. Yes agreed that Zoya the character did not open her mouth and that was the doing of the PH and or her CVS. If they had made her open her mouth and stand her stand, it would not have been so bad cause it would not have shown women to be such whimsical creatures of this place called earth. I may have been misconstrued in my message but i am and will always be against any kind of injustice to women, children, elderly and even animals for that matter. If it is shown in fictional or non fictional my thoughts remain the same.

Yes i do make comments or other post and they may sound childish, cynical or totally misleading but that is just to keep the flow of humor and thread. Purely entertainment. Likewise i too think that even on this post the discussion was merely on the serial and then everyone starts getting uptight . Everyone has their know POV and if you guys do not like mine , i can't force you. I shall remember to never comment on your post again. Apologies extended.

Lastly i do not even think i should be arguing here since many of the members are students or just very young adults who seem to think that if the have vast knowledge of the English Vocabulary, they know what reality is all about. When you live abroad and and don't know the mentality of a general Indian citizen, it would not be fair to make any kind of judgments.

P.S Since it was not trade please advice me to what that exchange was???? Maybe i am too daft at the age of almost 50...

Definition of 'Trade'

A basic economic concept that involves multiple parties participating in the voluntary negotiation and then the exchange of one's goods and services for desired goods and services that someone else possesses. The advent of money as a medium of exchange has allowed trade to be conducted in a manner that is much simpler and effective compared to earlier forms of trade, such as bartering.
