Hearing on PIL against TV serial on Feb 5

Lucknow, Feb 2 (PTI) The Allahabad High Court bench here today fixed February 5 as the next date of hearing a PIL, seeking a ban on TV serial 'Ye Pyar Na Hoga Kam', which allegedly hurt the sentiments of 'Kayastha' community.

A division bench of justices Pradeep Kant and Raitu Raj Awasthi passed the order on the PIL filed by 'Akhil Bhartiya Chitransh Mahasabha', contending that the word 'Kayastha' was being used in the serial to make fun of the community.

It has been prayed in the PIL that unless such hurting dialogues are not deleted, its telecast should be stopped.

Petitioner's counsel Rajeev Srivastava argued that the serial was further dividing the society which was already divided on caste line.

The Central and State governments were also represented.

They should have played it safe...while making the serial and not mentioned any community. As a Brahmin myself. I dislike how the whole thing is being depicted.

I agree there is not much encouragement...to marry outside caste.
But love marriages today are equally common.. Acc to me love marriages outside one's religion is also becoming common in big cities.

I think there will be a day soon where the parents will just have to accept and feel lucky when their children married someone of the OPPOSITE gender.

More than ever now, I am convinced that as a society we've lost our sense of perspective.. what is being depicted is not untrue and neither is it restricted to a particular caste...
I think the Brahmins come off far worse than the kayasths and maybe the "'Akhil Bhartiya Chitransh Mahasabha'" needs to see the serial again to see who is being shown in a bad light and for any Brahmin who protests, well, in large parts especially in smaller towns it is unfortunately true, so let's not be sanctimonious...
It is so typical of our holier-than-thou and insular attitudes that we would much rather waste time, effort and energy in protesting and trying to ban something uncomplimentary being shown rather than spending that energy in changing those things.
Clearly members of the'Akhil Bhartiya Chitransh Mahasabha' need to be gainfully occupied instead of wasting the Court's, the public's and their time. As they say, an empty mind is a devil's workshop!
And for the record, I am a Brahmin, fully cognizant of many social repressions perpetuated by the community, yet appreciative of its knowledge and perfectly capable of enjoying the serial for a realistic potrayal of what happens in society, without bringing community centric indignation into it!
