There are many satellite channels and programs which have great impact on our daily lives, of them two of them are- impact of Indian serials on increasing rate of extra-marital relationship and its effects on family life. Bangladesh which is Muslim conservative country, women here are expected to have only relation with their husband and are also strictly prohibited to have any kind of extra-marital relationships before marriage. Besides, after marriage women are expected to treat their mother in law just like their own mother and be a good wife, and be a good mother in her own life. Anwarullah Chowdhury, the Vice Chancellor of Bangladesh Islami University mentioned in his article, “The bride goes to reside in her husband 's house where she is placed under severe restrictions with little or no say in decision making” (38). Such difficulties and problems which they face in the real life are portrayed in the Indian serials.

    Media, including television, cell phones, social media, ect., is spoon feeding the world conflict, hand delivering minor social issues that are not necessarily as hard pressing as we believe. While many scholars disagree (including Steven Johnson in Watching TV Makes you Smarter), what appears on the television screen of an average person is just the combination of pop culture items mixing together to re-affirm common beliefs. This is a worldwide occurrence, usually beginning in America and spreading throughout the world, a form of mass globalization that provides the world everything it needs without anyone lifting a finger. Joseph Joffe argues this as a form of soft power in The Perils of Soft Power, and it is slowly draining civilization of individuality. A fresh individuality is required to keep innovation and inventing, indulging the world further into an unending cycle of convenience, yet this indispensable cycle is simply inevitable.

    “Dadi 's Family” demonstrates how women in Dadi 's household fight to secure their status around the idea of the dominant patriarchal mentality which insists that females are the inferior caste. The dedication to the production of the film consists of following the life of Dadi and her daughters-in-law showing the viewers the struggles they encounter trying to maintain the traditional ways of living the gender roles that have been developed for generations. In Dadi 's Family, it is clear to see that there is a different role play that women and men play which demonstrates inequality between the different dynamics of gender and power. There are many ways in this film where we see women dependent and subordinate to male authority. To begin with, in the beginning of the film Dadi explains the process of how women are traded off as braids.

Marriage exists and its main aim is to bring two people together to form a union, where a man and a woman leave their families and join together to become one where they often start their own family. Sociologists are mostly interested in the relationship between marriage and family as they form the key structures in a society. The key interest on the correlation between marriage and family is because marriages are historically regarded as the institutions that create a family while families are on the other hand the very basic unit upon which our societies are founded on.
