With lots of spotlight on dowry and the recent fire which killed a family in the UK in Bradord of the Lad family, added to Mr Dewani's antics in South Africa this video is a must watch

Just for more background on the Lad family




''A father who murdered his wife and two daughters has today been cremated with his victims.

Mourners at the joint funeral of Daksha Lad, her daughters Trisha and Nisha, and their killer Jitendra, were told that their 'destiny was pre-written' according to Hindu beliefs.

The crematorium was so full almost 200 people had to listen to the Hindu service outside in the chill November sunshine.

Many mourners wore pink ribbons as a sign of unity, some together with a poppy. The coffins were borne in to the tune of 'Somewhere Over the Rainbow' before the service began in Hindi.

An uncle of the dead girls addressed the mourners. He said: "Why and how this happened is incomprehensible and these are questions we have asked over the last 10 days.

"Some questions may never be answered."

Very sad.

Well Aamir Khan is Muslim, so Hindu nationalists wouldn't welcome his critique.

 

[Indiafan]

This is a brilliant show BTW and has addressed lots of issues in India. Will bring tears to your eyes and done in very good taste. Plus all of them end on a very positive note and it is heart warming to see the number of young people helping address such issues and some great institutions. BTW, the subject of this episode was violence in general and the male psyche. Very well done, should watch the whole one and a half hour show.

That's not how it works in India, this is one of the most popular shows in India called Satyamev Jayate

 

[CricketCartoons]

Why doesn't Amir Khan talk against the misogynist culture in Bollywood, what about the vulgar lyrics and item numbers and glorified sexual harassment in songs. and then he comes pretending to be a crusader for women rights.

This is one of the best show I have seen on Social issues in many years...This show talks about issues Society is not comfortable talking about... Aamir is great asset to India, not just as an artist, but as an inspiration...Good thing is because of his personality, Satyamev Jayate was main stream show, watched by millions. He spend lot of time and effort in to the production of Satyamev Jayate... Thanks goodness it is available on youtube

I wish something similar is possible in Pakistan, people get killed talking about uncomfortable issues

I'm not a big fan of his movies, but I'm really beginning to respect him for the social work he's been doing lately. I heard he also did an episode on LGBT issues in India, which brought a smile to my face. Its a big step forward.

Big fan of his movies and big fan of him as a person. This guy is an inspiration. He talks on issues very few stars want to talk about. Wish someone like him was there in Pakistan too.

 

[Snowed]

Aamir Khan should come to Pakistan, I mean technically speaking is more Pakistani genetically, looks wise, speaking wise etc... People like him should work for both countries
