| == Premise ==
| |
| ''Bharat Niwas'' (Translation: ''India House'') is a home that is the epitome of the ethos and culture of India. ''Bharat Bhushan'', the patriarch of the family, is the perfect patriot who believes more in what you can do for your country rather than what the country can do for you. His family, consisting of his three sons (''Om, Jai and Jagdish''), three daughters-in-law (''Ganga, Jamuna and Saraswati'') and four grandchildren (''Ram, Shyam, Munna and Munni''), personifies the multi-cultural diversity of India with divergent views on issues relating to the society and the nation. Here lies the eternal conflict in ''Bharat Niwas'' – the embodiment of India!
| |
| | |
| The narrative stands the test of time as the issues are universally relevant and will continue to resonate with viewers for all time to come. Episodes are packed with super-sized laughs, heart-warming moments, drama, romance, action and most importantly, the sublime feeling of pride in being an Indian! The show imparts ''food-for-thought'' and inspires the viewer to become a catalyst for change, nationwide.
