Why? - Page 2

Because the viewers like to watch Twisted stories. This type of stories gain most trps. Its not channels fault. Everyone loves Profit. Right ? Look what happened to Eht and look what is happening to everset. This shows are dying. IMO, The viewers are to be blamed. They watch this twisted stories and that gives wrong message to cvs.
Regarding society, This serials may/maynot reflect the true condition if indian society. Its just for entertainment.

<font face="Georgia, Times New Roman, Times, serif">What an excellent post👏👏 and I myself was wondering this a while back. All the leading ladies you mentioned are considered the epitome of womanhood because no matter what anybody says to them, they seldom fight back and always forgive those who torment them.

Suhani's silence when she is verbally abused the Foursome irks me to no end. 😡😡 The problem with Indian TV creatives is that they equate goodness with doormat behaviour. If you are letting people treat you like shit, it's not because you are good but because you lack a spine. Indian TV CVs should understand that sacrificing your self-respect at the altar of goodness is not the right thing to do. By taking abuse, these ladies are actually supporting evil because they are allowing evil people to walk over them. I always get very angry at Yuvraj when he keeps quiet in the face of the disgusting crap that Dadi doles out to Suhani and even at Suhani for just shutting up and listening. 😡

Although Indian TV is aimed at women, that doesn't mean that the content is going to be very woman-friendly. This is because the majority of female audiences in Indian happen to be housewives who actually have to deal with the kind of problems Gopi or Suhani face. Also, many a times, for the sake of maintaining family peace, these women have to put up with tyrants like Dadi in silence so they probably identify with such leads when they see them having to shut up and put up.
Indian TV's content will only start to show women on an equal footing with men when the women in their audience become equal to men in real life. It is only when the women in the audience become self-reliant and independent that they will reject such content. When such content is rejected, only then will Indian TV CVs change it and come up with more realistic scenarios.

I'm an Indian girl so I will tell you that India is such a huge country that there will be unfortunately, a lot of households where women are inferior to men and are abused and treated like second class citizens. This is a true fact that Indian women aren't on par with Indian men yet. I come from a very liberal household where my parents have loved me more than anyone possibly can and have given me every opportunity that they would have given to a son and more. What happens on these shows may happen in real life but there are many households, including my friends' where they are not treated like cattle.

Just like any other country, Indian TV is not an exact representation of Indian society so everything should be taken with a pinch of salt. There are Indian girls who are submissive but there are Indian girls who stand up for what they believe in. Our society has a long way to go and we are making progress; many Indian girls are changing for the better and are not putting up with abuse anymore. </font>

Thank you. I am glad you liked the post. I am also thankful to all the people who have replied because I see no one wants to comment on sane topics. My grandparents are from India, but left INdia long back. I am sure there are all kinds of girls in INdia, but was puzzled by the fact that all the serials potray Indin girls in a same exact way. Be it uneducated, deprived Gopi or highly educated well brought up Dr. Ishita. Hopefully, there will be more shows like Mahiway, Rishta.com etc...

Why in all Indian tele shows, the female lead is abused to no end? Just for an example, from Gopi to Ishita to Suhani everyone is abused to an extent that I am amused by. Astha is now in better place, but she was in horrible shape herself!!

All of these couples never have an relation with each other be it mental or physical bonding for long time after marriage. All the women go through abuse and at the end of it man feels that wow she has the highest tolerance for his abuse and realizes sudden love.

Does this happen in Indian society? Do people not consummate their marriage for long time and woman get abused and man gets to be a macho by pushing her, pulling her, hurting her physically even though at small scale, screaming at and many more abusive forms that are considered domestic violence. Is this norm in Indian families in India????

Are Indian girls so submissive and such pure hearted like all the leading ladies??? Give your scoop girls. If possible let me know if you are a male or female.
