    NDTV presents ‘What’s Your Choice’ with Prannoy Roy

    The character of a nation is often measured by how much each person cares for a fellow citizen.  If you see someone in distress, suffering, being bullied or molested – reaching out, do you step out of your comfort zone and help?

     

    We have heard of many cases in which an accident victim, bleeding, lying on the side of the road, reaches out – but nobody stops.  Or stories of when a woman is being teased or molested even in a crowded area, nobody intervenes to save the girl.

     

    But bad news, like these examples, tend to hit the headlines, while good news, like when an ordinary Indian does make a choice to intervene, goes unreported.  What’s the truth about India?

     

    NDTV’s brand new series ‘What’s Your Choice’ with Prannoy Roy aims to simply to find out: Does India care? And if so, who cares?

     

    And in the final analysis, we will have succeeded if at the end of each show each one of us asks ourselves: Do I care — and do I care enough?

     

    WATCH PRANNOY ROY PRESENT ‘WHAT’S YOUR CHOICE?’ EVERY SATURDAY ON NDTV 24X7 AT 9:30 PM AND SUNDAY AT 12 NOON
