A TV's eye of Rural India...is it a case of losing focus?

There's a little Anandi being told to burn her books when she wants to study further, there's a village don called Ammaji trying to kill her daughter-in-law because she is pregnant with a girl child,there's a maid's daughter Ichcha who has sacrificed her love for the landlord's daughter, there's the age-old village-boy-coming-to metro-to-become-rich sagas which keep coming on television in the form of various daily serials and not to forget the repeated 3-4 hrs mega repeat telecast of the same on weekends in case any of us have missed to watch some episodes. In the TV industry, the TRPs which are the barometer for a serial's sucess, the above mentioned scenarios are the characters/serials with the highest ratings. The projection of rural India through these serials is ultimately to evoke sympathy, empathy,fury and a myriad of other emotions, thus trying to somewhere strike a chord with the sentiments that we Indians are known to have in abundance.
And when these characters become larger than life and when some mouth-gaping, avid serial watchers have been garnered for the same is when the big time moolahs are raked in by the producers through repetitive, incessant but succesful hammering on the human chord which makes it a rampant hit across all, irrespective of caste, creed, gender and religion. What are these people exactly trying to convey? How rosy or not-so-rosy is rural India? Are these the exact problems faced by them?
When we talk of a progressive India, we talk about rural electifrication, afforestation, literacy campaigns and the entire gamut of jargons of a bright future present in front of them. How much is exactly happening? Rural penetration in the real sense has happened only in the telecommunication and satellite TV medium and that too in a small manner. So many villages of India are still dark. So many out there still stuck in the landlord villianism. The eternal fight of classes, of good v/s evil, of women empowerment, of unavailability of basic necessities continues. And all anyone does sitting at home is be an amazing couch potato warming up their seats, feeling for the characters and going off to sleep. At the end of the day, it is not "their" reality and they have nothing to do with it. But there are real daily survival battles being fought out there and that is "their" reality.
I am after all a confused metro soul dissected between the print and visual medium representations of rural India trying to say just do not sit and clap, be the change in some small manner to someone...
