Dinesh Kamath's Editorial (Satyamev Jayate - a conscience-awakening show) that was published in Newsband


‘Satyamev Jayate’ – a conscience-awakening show
Aamir Khan’s ‘Satyamev Jayate’ undoubtably is a very appealing show. You don’t fail to feel emotional while watching the show. So superbly does Aamir conduct the show. Aamir certainly knows the knack of winning the hearts of the audiences. He has succeeded in conveying to the audiences that message he intended to pass on to them by conducting this show perfectly and without a single flaw.
After watching this show you’ll realize as to why Aamir is called a perfectionist. This is his debut TV show and what a job he has done! He is not trying to win TRPs. He is not slinging mud at rivals. He is just being truthful and is trying to create awareness among the audiences. He is genuinely concerned about the plight of the people whom he interviews. He is undoubtedly sincere about solving the problems of these people who are victims of one or the other kind of injustice. Through this show, Aamir is trying to get the concerned authorities to do something concrete and drastic to do justice to these victims of various types of injustices. Another thing is, just like Anna Hazare, Aamir is trying to expose all types of corruptions that are prevalent in Indian society. Not only that, he is also trying his best to get the authorities to take necessary steps in the matter of driving away corruptions in Indian society by taking actions against those who are corrupt. He is doing the same thing that Anna Hazare is doing but in his own inimitable style. Aamir is giving people of India the courage to stand up against the unsocial.
One feels really moved when common people come to his show and share their real life dreadful experiences. Aamir unravels their emotional trauma and uncovers the truth that the society is unaware of or perhaps chooses to act ignorant about.
The cases of agonized mothers really touch you. It is shocking to know the trauma they underwent when they were carrying a female child and how they were duped to abort their babies. The show is indeed an eye opener and proves that female foeticide is predominately practiced by ignorant people.
Aamir has also brought to the notice of the viewers the malpractices that take place in medical field. Doctors are supposed to play the role of God. But there are some doctors who don’t hesitate to become devilish by misusing their  knowledge of medicines. Aamir has exposed the malpractices that some doctors indulge in.
The show really grips you and leaves you dumfounded! You will be left asking for more and would wish the show never ends. ‘Satyamev Jayate’ is indeed doing the noble job of awakening the conscience of Indians. Keep it up, Aamir!
