Which shows Doordarshan should really telecast but the Sanghi government will never allow? My first choice - Bharat Ek Khoj.
Remember we are talking about the shows that the Sanghi government will not allow. Bharat Ek Khoj because it's based on Nehru's Discovery of India. My second choice - Sanjha Chulha. A show set in Punjab to promote communal harmony after a decade of terrorism.
