Bairi Piya is an Indian soap opera.
Bairi Piya is an atypical love story painted across a canvas portraying the predicament of destitute farmers & their families. The initial episodes accentuated the stark reality that morality was a luxury many families couldn’t afford.
Though the series started with the intent of highlighting the problems faced by the poor peasants of Vidarbha region of Eastern Maharashtra, that track was soon relegated to the backburner after receiving much criticism, despite revealing the true miserable conditions of poor peasants. The Women Rights Commission even pleaded for the show to be discontinued on the grounds that the practice of taking young girls to fulfil landlords' needs was not admissible for open public viewing.
