The first episode focused on the serious "female infanticide" phenomenon in India.
The reason why I strongly recommend friends who study social sciences to learn this talk show is that the whole program uses a more rigorous sociological research method.
For example, the first episode observed the structural imbalance in the birth rate of "male and female infants" from the data, and then raised the core question of the research, why the phenomenon of female infanticide occurred in India. It is generally recognized by society that this phenomenon is caused by poverty and illiteracy, and it is also believed that this phenomenon only occurs in small cities and rural areas.
Then the program uses a representative counterexample and data to illustrate that many intellectuals and wealthy families are also killing female infants, criticizing the previous "theory". Then I began to explore what kind of dynamic process was that led to such a phenomenon in Indian society.
Throughout the program, several representative cases that are more contradictory and causal are used to conduct cross-examination.
To be honest, in China, this kind of talk show that is more rigorous and proficient in the use of social science methods is still harder to see.
To add some topics, I think it’s particularly good:
Episode 3 on India’s dowry system
Episode 4 on Corruption in the Medical System
