The third and final issue was that corruption in Indian healthcare, such as how doctors exploit patients’ lack of medical knowledge and scam them to make money at the cost of a patient’s health and sometimes even their life. The issue of not having laws put in place that are robust enough to punish acts of child sexual abuse was confronted on the show. The show revealed shocking facts that 53% of the children in the Indian population are subject to this kind of abuse. A second issue that was dealt with was child sexual abuse. 'Satyamev Jayate' had invited journalists who had done a lot of work in exposing the row of sex determination in the Indian states of Rajasthan, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh. The show broadcasted on national television sting operations that were carried out, revealing doctors who were willing to abort due to the sex being female, and the fact that 3 million female foeticide cases are on record and nothing has been done about it. The first issue was that of female foeticide a hugely practiced illegal act in India, it is the act of aborting unborn females due to the social structure that views male children as more favourable. In this talk show, ongoing since 2012, each episode dealt with a separate social concern in India, so this case study explores how 3 of these 13 chosen issues were tackled, what change was brought about and how this qualifies for being a democratic innovation.
