In spite of being bounded by many controversies, Aamir returned with Satyamev Jayate’s Episode 6 and in this episode he discussed about rights of physically challenged group of our society.

Aamir Khan discussed about the issues met by differently abled persons with supported evidences. Aamir’s show brought to light the differently abled persons, who really face problems due to the present structure of our nation, which doesn’t support and help them.

Satyamev Jayate emphasized the actual facts and issues and exposed the real image. The show began with a film that showed Shreya Chaturvedi, an 11-year-old who resides with her mother in New Delhi and unable to walk.

Shreya Chaturvedi said her mom loves her a lot. She too loves her mom and shares everything with her mom like a friend. She loves her teachers, her school and her house. Shreya’s aspiration is to become a doctor or teacher. She never feels bad about her ill-health, but she hopes she would walk one day. She also said she leads a happy life and thanked God for everything she was blessed with.

The primary emphasis of this episode was on equal rights to education and the importance for the disabled countrymen.

Sai Prasad, a guest from Hyderabad said he does not have any problem about his disability. He said his life is made difficult by India’s infrastructural disability. Sai went abroad for his higher studies after working in Infosys. So, he could easily compare India with other countries. He said India fails in giving better facilities to the differently abled persons while other countries have excellent facilities.

Krishnakant Mane, another guest, is visually impaired and has tied knot with a good-looking woman 4 weeks back and the marriage was a love marriage. He works as a project leader and handles 20 people. Krishnakant said he enjoys his life as that of a normal person.

When teachers were asked about the admission of physically challenged children to a normal school, they said if a physically challenged child is admitted, the parents of other children give objection. The fact is the Right to Education Act permits every child, regardless of their disabilities, right to go to any school.

Mane said the message as not to feel inferior and weak and not to take world for granted. The world will be cruel and kind to all and it should be like that. He gave a message to every parent – let your child go to a regular school and let him feel equal.

Many such people and heroes were questioned in this show. Some people said being differently abled is due to the outcome of the bad deeds in their previous lives. They were not added till 2001 in census. But, physically challenged persons are full of determination and hope.

Equal rights, equal opportunity and equal treatment to study and work should be given to them. This will bring progressive changes in their lives.

Satyamev Jayate touched a very sensitive topic of love and honor killing. The episode 5 showed some examples of couples in love and problems faced by them due to such relationship. The most interesting part of the episode was when representative from Love Commandos NGO at the last, shared his views. He was very witty and loved his ideas.

The show started with the couple named Lokendra & Fehmida who ran away from their families who didn't accept their relationship. They got married two years back and they are still living in fear. They haven't received any support from Police as well and Lokendra even had to stay in jail for no crime. His crime was only that he was in love with a girl Fehmida, a Muslim girl and they got married. (Inter-caste marriage). They are not accepted by girl's parents even today and at the end, Aamir Khan himself requested to forget everything and accept their love.

Then, they showed a bad example of being in love and how hatred can cause so much problems. The story of Rizwan and Priyanka in love. They got married secretly and later from the very day, they had to face problems. Rizwan was arrested on false charges and girl's family took home Priyanka giving false promises. Later in less than a month, Rizwan's body was found on railway track and Police reported it as suicide but in deed it was murder (As per the FIR ).

and then they showed the case of Manoj and Babli. This case was also shown on Crime Patrol. They were killed by Babli's relatives for getting married in the same gotra.

After female foeticide and child sexual abuse, it’s dowry. The third episode of Satyamev Jayate, hosted by the Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan, dealt with fighting and speaking up against this social
injustice that women all over India tolerate on a regular basis.

The episode shown focused that not only in rural india, dowry is prevalent in urban India as well. The show featured three females who had undergone torture due to non-payment of dowry to their greedy in-laws. The episode started with Komal from Delhi, who was bombarded with demands and pumped for money throughout her marriage, had been abandoned by her husband and was half dead in a foreign country before help finally came.

Then it also showed a woman from Jalandhar named Paramjeet kaur's husband took 15 lakhs from her on pretext of studies and went to Australia and now he didnt returned and is demanding more money and divorce too and that too online.

The show even included an inspirational story, that of Mumbai’s Rani Tripathi. Belonging to a middle class family, Rani, against all odds fought for what was right and took control of her own life. Instead of giving in to the ever increasing demands from the groom’s side she, along with her family, staged a full blown sting operation and exposed her potential groom to the media.itted suicide giving in to the pressures by her husband and in-laws.

The final message was: the laws are in place, now it is up to the men and women of the country to find their voice, speak up, do the right thing and say no to dowry.

The second episode of Satyamev jayate focused on Child sexual abuse which showed some stunning cases of Cindrella Prakash and Harish Aiyer whose childhoods were completely spoiled due to childhood abuse by the people their families were very close to.


The episode started with small statistics and research work done by the program to show that one in every two children are sexually abused in their childhood days. The statistics showed that 53% of children faced sexually abuse behaviour out of which 47% were girls and 53% were boys. In 50% of the cases, the abusers were known to the child or were in a position of trust and responsibility and most children did not report the matter to anyone.

Then the story started with showing unknown girl who faced sexual abuse from her tuition teacher who use to come to her home and abuse her for many years. Her family trusted teacher blindly and that led to this incident and they were not ready to believe.

Then came in the studio Cindrella Prakash who hails from Mumbai. She was abused by the person who was her family's most trusted person. He abused her to an extent she went into utter shock and was not able to tell her mother who was suffering from kidney diseases.She was abused when she was just 12 years old. Hats off to her who came to this show and told about her incidence.

Later one grueling sexual act and abuse was done on another guest named Harish Aiyer. He was raped continuously for 11 consecutive years by his own uncle close to her mother. His mother didn't believe the act and she didn't support her son. Harish chose to remain alone and in the company of females as he thought every male would harm him. He was 7 when he faced for the first time.

Moreover the small workshop was organized for kids to understand and how to be alert when some one abuses them.

Similar other cases were shown and how their life were ruined by this act. Aamir khan has decided to write a letter to Indian government to pass the bill to protect the child abuse victims and punish the culprits.
