Had we been drawing attention to the unspeakable and unspoken of horrors of Indian society in more robust tones, we may perhaps have not seen a ‘khap’ in Uttar Pradesh daring to ban women from going out in the evenings last week. Or the horrific stripping of a teen-aged girl by what seemed like an ordinary group of young men in Guwahati.

It (Satyameva Jayate)  is the best of Aamir Khan's feature and brings the social work and social change in real perspectives. Interesting and challenging.
