Satyamev Jayate: A great journey ends, or does it?

In midst of all the soaps and "reality" shows, Satyameva Jayate was a breath of fresh air. It dealt with all the social problems our country faces, which are very serious but we choose to ignore it rather than talking about it. The best part was that instead of pointing fingers and being judgmental, the show did not start putting blame to a person or community but instead focused on pure facts of the problems and offered solution which could help us overcome it. Every episode has been great, dealing with a varied range of matters. All necessary, all prevalent. No desensitizing or seansationalising things, making everyone think. Not deciding for anyone, letting everyone decide. A great journey.

Last episode was great and much needed dose of hope in midst of all the misanthropy. People like this shows there is still hope for humanity. We need more of them, acting selflessly for the greater good. Yeah, not everybody can come up with 8000 crores like Azim Premji, but we can all make small efforts like that kid teaching other kids. If everyone does something for the country, no matter how small, we all can make a difference for better. After all, that man caved in his way through a mountain with his bare hands, didn't he? And that began as a single blow of hammer on a small chisel.

Everything ends, and so was the fate of Satyameva Jayate. But what we have to ask is that does its impact ends with the end of airing of the show? The moments we felt, anger at the inhuman behaviors, sadness at the deaths of innocent ones, happiness at the still blooming love and peace in the cruel world, respect for the selfless acts of some great people, patriotism for our country, and the burning desire to go out and make a difference. Does it all end? Because if it does, then it was no better than some reality show and no matter how many seasons come, we would just be passing Sunday afternoons by taking a test drive of our morality engine which we conveniently choose to keep off most of the times. We have taken the first step by discussing the problems, but discussions alone are not going to solve the problems. It's time to act, not to get stuck in the analysis paralysis.

Jai Hind!

Satyameva Jayate!

I agree lots more needs to be done but atleast some awareness has been created that there IS a problem and they are shaken from the delusion that All izz well...

Yeah, I think the aim was to create awareness and I think they have successfully achieved that. Things need to be done but people first need to accept that there is a problem and I think that this show has helped people face that truth that there are problems in our society.

Knowledge is power and by giving such valuable information, this show provided that potential power to those victims of oppression and violence. That is a wonderful thing and I hope people will use this info to help others and be more proactive when they see injustice or crimes happening in front of them!

God bless the team of SMJ for shining some light in the darkness and giving power in the people's hands to make some changes! THAT specifically is the practical aspect of this show that I really appreciated!

I hope this show will be back for a second and maybe a third season, where they can do follow-ups to show if Indian Govt and other organizations have followed up on their promises on improvements and legal procedures.
