Web Series Review: Raisinghani vs Raisinghani

Presently watching the web series Raisinghani vs Raisinghani.

Not impressed with what's being normalized here 👎.

The series is on Episode 72 now and there haven't been even two episodes in a row at any stage that have gone without attempting to pull attention towards women using unnecessary skin show (as an example, see picture below). Women themselves need to be objecting to this. Be intellectually competitive and demand that people pay attention to you for your intelligence, Skin is the easy way and it distracts from your competence (which, I assure you, you have in abundance!). Shun this shallowness!

And Puhlease! (With due respect to my European and Americal friends) moulding ourselves after Euro-Americans is not a sign of evolution! We formally rejected the hypothesis that the white man spread himself all over the world to "civilize" us colored natives on 15th August 1947 when we booted the Brits out.

Globalization is one thing; letting the west say "heel boy!" to you is quite another! Absorb from all world cultures, but firmly respect your own alongside!

PS 1: The female lead proudly declares that she recycles her clothes every six months and buys new ones! Really? What kind of a value system are we encouraging here? Forget about addressing poverty, we are actually cool with our "heroes and heroines" showcasing how they splurge their wealth like this? Seriously?

PS 2: Aur haan, daarubaazi kuch zyaada nahi ho rahi? Not one family or social gathering without everyone with a glass of liquor in their hand! Not one! Really? Occasional drink hum bhi enjoy karte hain, but is the message really that one can't socialize or have fun without liquor?

PS 3: If you pay close attention, you'll realize that there is some "pravachan level" pushing of western culture and thought throughout. As if adopting a western outlook on life will make us more evolved. This is patently unfair. The East has its own cultural richness and depth of thought - not just as contained in Indian philosophical systems such as Vedanta, but in works of philosophers such as Confucius, the Tao Te Ching, the teachings of Zen masters, the different schools of Buddhism. Why should the East mould itself after into the West to feel evolved? I can understand that a conversation between the East and West can be enlightening for both. But that's not what's getting pushed here! Such efforts need to be viewed with skepticism!

PS 4: The most recent "pravachan" seems to be "it's alright to have an abortion if you get pregnant before you are ready to raise a child". My blunt response: Cut this bullshit! The right way is simply: "Folks are in too much of a hurry to get laid today. Make something of yourselves first, stand on your own feet, be mature and settled enough to raise a child, then have sex". Relationships aren't just about sex for heaven's sake! Unless you are a victim of sexual assault, if there's a child in your womb - you are responsible for it. Period.
