As you see shows moving away from the Saas Bahu, a lot of the shows are
moving towards stories based on social problems, whether they be about
class differences such as in Uttaran, or about underage marriage as in
Ballika Vadhu, or about female infanticide, such as in 'Na Aana Is Desh
Ladoo' on Colors TV. The show deals with the concept of female
infanticide and repression of women in a village. Surprisingly (or maybe
not so surprising), the repression of women is fully supported by
another strong woman, Ammaji. Ammaji is the one who decides that a woman
has asserted herself too much and needs to be pushed into a small
closed and suffocating room, it is Ammaji who decrees that newly born
girls would be killed by drowning them in milk, and many other such
acts.
