A Distorted Version
The soaps of today are hardly a reflection of Indian society,and on the contrary present a very distorted picture of it
They cannot be compared to the older ones like,HUMLOG and BUNIYAAD,which were the soaps with which one could relate oneself.While HUMLOG beautifully presented the social,personal and domestic problems of the middle class Indian,Buniyad portrayed the emotions and values of life of a commoner,
Today's soaps are a vulgar display of money,power,beauty and treachery.Affairs,infidelity,premarital-sex,kids out of bed-lock and domestic bickering have existed since eternity,but even today they are not the norm.Not every person has a past and a present ,skeletons of which need to be hidden everyday.Majority of us have a basic personality which is almost permanent and not changing with every season like the split personality characters of these serials.Wish the directors and script-writers looked up the dictionary for the meaning of certain common words like,faith,trust and poetic justice
These soaps are conveying a message that these are the accepted norms and common occurring in our society,which is far from the truth
