Do you remember this wonderful TV series UDAAN which was shown in 1989? I think this show was made to motivate Women and free themselves from following the traditional roles that were been told by their Parents or their own old folks when they were little. Also this show was all about inspiring to follow the dreams by honoring themselves and respecting who they are. We loved this sitcom right! after watching the Clip here remembered I really liked watching the title track 'cause the music used to get me, it was so inspiring right in the beginning, you see this little girl freeing a bird and when she does she watches it fly so high up in the sky and that makes her so happy : )
So I think UDAAN was all about inspiring to break those lack of Self worth that Women felt instead to freely express their views and step out of limiting self beliefs or being submissive to the situation. To believe in equal rights between a Man and a Woman.
Beautiful show made by Kavita Choudhary, written and directed by herself and she herself played as the main lead, who can forget her name "Kalyani" who turns to be a young, vibrant promising IPS (Indian Police Service) officer in the show : ) She Inspired me and I loved her Performance, really great. I am not gonna miss watching it again if I get a DVD or something. Folks may I request you to please share the details of UDAAN series if you find anywhere. Thanks.
More from Wiki:
Udaan (Flight) was the name of a popular Hindi TV serial that aired on the Indian Television channel DD National in 1989 - 91. The serial was written and directed by Kavita Choudhary who was also the main lead of the serial. It also starred Shekhar Kapur in a cameo. It was probably the first Indian television show on women empowerment. The serial is inspired by true story of Kavita Choudhary's elder sister Kanchan Choudhary who after several hardships went to become the first female Director General of Police. The direction and performance of Kavita Choudhary were applauded and loved by the media and the public. It was so refreshing to see a lady IPS (Indian Police Service) officer in Kavita Choudary's role that was not only humble, but also wanted to perform her work in letter and spirit by going to the public and placing the public's needs ahead of everything else, in the true spirit of a public servant. Also, as happens in the US and other countries, Kavita portrayed her role of as a friend and guardian of the public who the public should want to go to for help, not a policewoman that everyone should fear. In fact in several episodes of this serial, Kalyani Singh IPS chastens her constables and other police officers for speaking with the public in a rude manner. This was very refreshing.

Exclusive: "Mind Your Language" 1977 a British Comedy Sitcom.
Watch the Pilot Episode, right here ;) its called "THE FIRST LESSON".
This may have not been aired on DD national channel in the 70s or 80s but I must tell ya, its pretty entertaining. I am sure you guys would love it the plot is based on the Foreign students who join the Adult School in UK England i believe, to learn "English as a Foreign Language" this is the course they are "Unrolled for" as one of the student puts it to the school's pompous and tight-fisted Principal, Ms Courtney, when the student is looking to find the Classroom (what he means is Enrolled for) Mr Brown who's the English teacher learns himself the trouble and humor in different cultures from the students as he is teaching them. I love this sitcom enjoyed watchin' very episode n its really hilarious to listen to the students when they innocently mis-interpret things or mis-pronounce words while they are learning. Watch n Enjoy:)">
