With the changing trends and dynamic roles, the bahu on the ‘Indian television’ has now begun to emerge from the darkness of ignorance and dependency into the light of power, knowledge and freedom. Urvi Sharma takes a look at the TV series that have redefined the role of a traditionally subdued bahu confined to her sasuraal with a version of a powerful and independent entity having an identity of her own.

Women’s rights and issues have led to storming debates across the globe let alone India. Interestingly, Television in India has played a big role in forwarding a woman’s cause for a long time now. Yes, no doubt there is regressive content as well, but there are many television shows on the contrary that are trying to tackle the issue of women’s suppression by redefining their role as a career-oriented bahu, who denies being subdued under the pressures of social convention by giving up on her dignity and dreams.
