Sorry but I was just here for a visit and stumbled onto this topic.

I must say that I agree completely with what the topic starter has to say.

Perhaps that is one of the reasons I don't like watching serials because of the stereo types and falsehoods portrayed and I feel that it is a willful attempt to mislead the naive audience into thinking that western thought, culture and it's people are bad stuff whereas everything Indian is good. We all know that is far from true.

I have been living and working in the United States for several years and have never been treated poorly. Yes the laws are very strictly enforced here but everybody is treated the same and I respect that. I am sure that there are isolated incidences but they aren't the norm. The same goes for India as well.

It would be refreshing if serials showed both sides of the story rather than painting the west in tainted colors all the time.

I can say plenty more but I will stop here.

Thank you.

Thanks guys for all the likes!! I have watched a few more episodes because I am a fan of Jay Soni and though I like the concept,this whole saga about how Indians are so Mahaan and everyone else is the opposite is annoying me,It is high time we as Indians look at our own faults for a change and stop pointing fingers at others.Instead of copying how Americans dress,why can't we copy on how they keep their streets clean and appreciate it? We blame the western places for all their wrong values.When will we start looking at ourselves and changing ourselves as a society? To add to this,we have these serials which a lot of people in India watch and the message is totally wrong-We are perfect and everything else about the others is totally wrong?When will we stop living in our past glory??An awakening is required.Yes,India was MAHAAN but a LONG time ago!! India cannot be proud of a lot of things happening today.The serial does not reflect the current times in India.It is sad but true.

The topic maker and other members, have made valid points...Regarding what really happens in the US...This is not a discussion on wether people take shows seriously or not...

But to represent another country and it's people falsely is irresponsible and wrong...Western media are not allowed to take liberties, with how they portray India or people from the Indian subcontinent...They are also bound by the law...

No country is perfect and everyone's experience of traveling in India and abroard is different...Showing the reality might actually be alot more entertaining...
