Ep03:盛大的印度婚礼 2012年5月20日
很多人都期待一个奢华的婚礼,但是印度的现状是,昂贵的婚礼仪式和沉重的嫁妆负担不仅导致新人生活悲惨,也破坏了父母的家庭。婚礼的概念已经变成一种交易,完全不在乎人或者家庭关系的价值。这是可以改变的,只要女方和他的家人对于嫁妆说不,坚持简单的婚礼仪式,恢复婚姻纽带的神圣性。 本期阿米尔提出的短信问题是,”你认为我国今天的婚事是否已成为商业交易?“
Ep04:医疗制度需要治疗否? 2012年5月27日
人民相信医疗从业人员,相信他们有足够的知识和设备做我们的健康卫士。但是,如果这知识被邪恶利用,那么医疗就成为了噩梦。尽管现在医生队伍中充满了唯利是图者,很多医院也只想着利用病人来赚钱,还有有很多遵从希波克拉底誓言的医生,他们在捍卫这个神圣的职业。
Ep05:Is Love a Crime? - 3rd June 2012
The simple act offalling in love opens up a world of emotions and reactions which sometimes culminate in crime -- the death of the couple. Even if they escape death, lovers who go against religious and community barriers still have to face harassment and censure from society and, due to this pressure, rejection from their families.
Ep06:Persons with Disabilities - We Can Fly!
People with disabilities have the same zeal and appreciation for life as the rest of us do. But they often get shunned, doubted, mocked and insulted. Access to public places and buildings is restricted and doors are closed for schooling and employment. India does not appear to be mature enough and understanding enough to recognise people with disabilities for what they are -- people.
Ep07:Domestic Violence -- Danger At Home
For countless women, entering married life often means the beginning of a stressful, violent existence. Beating one's wife seems to be ingrained in many men's mindsets as the appropriate behaviour for a strong male, but the consequences are misery for the wife and children, and often a broken, unhappy home. The concept of domestic violence is based on the notion of patriarchy, which needs to be converted into equality.
Ep08:Toxic Food - Poison On Our Plate?
For decades our food and water have been contaminated by powerful, harmful pesticides which have been promoted as necessary for better agricultural output. But the reality is that we don't need pesticides for better yield, and their use is not only deadly for health but results in expensive farming methods. The solution is to adopt organic farming, which is possible and profitable, as the state of Sikkim has shown.
Ep09:Alcohol Abuse - Think Before You Drink
Alcohol consumption is associated with having fun and enjoying life. But excessive, irresponsible drinking takes away that very life itself. Many alcohol addicts have climbed back to normal life, proving that it is possible to live happily without alcohol. Help for alcoholics is available, free, at Alcoholics Anonymous.
Ep10:Untouchability - Dignity for All
For a country which has been independent for 65 years, it is a matter of shame that we have not yet shaken off the tyranny of caste-based discrimination. Countless people have to live in degrading conditions, children are unable to go to school, employment avenues are closed, and even education does not open bigoted minds.
Ep11:Old Age -- Sunset Years, Sunshine Life
Our parents are the ones who have brought us up and made us what we are. At least out of consideration for that much, we should be good and kind towards them. But countless people all over India don't think so, going by the numbers of abandoned old people taken in at old age homes. Then there are some older people who take matters into their own hands -- be it romance or adventure sport.
