rgs, Subramani This’s why the success of ‘Love After Lockup’ sparks hope in a disabled man from India Sipping my regular dose of morning tea, I paused on the headline ‘”Love After Lockup” has become a viral hit’ (https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/kateaurthur/love-after-lockup-we-tv) on the news portal BuzzFeed. As someone living in India, I’ve never seen the TV show, whose popularity is seemingly growing in astronomical numbers without much in terms of advertisement. The title is self-explanatory: the show “follows couple who’ve met online after one of them is released from prison.” And, as is the natural corollary in these matters, the show has triggered discussions in popular social media platforms. Reading the news article from the shores of the country where tradition and modernity had an uneasy coexistence for more than a century, I feel rather appalled that a show concerning “working class” and people “who might not have a formal education” has become public amusement. Not that such shows aired in television channels closer home haven’t triggered furious debates.
