Home Shanti focuses on a relatable middle-class Indian family and their everyday challenges while building a home, without making identity politics the driving force. The characters are grounded, and there's little sign that ideological messaging trumps organic storytelling. Diversity is depicted authentically, rooted in the social reality of its setting.

Traditional family bonds, parental authority, and intergenerational customs form the story’s emotional backbone. There’s respect for religious and cultural practices, with no apparent caricaturing or undermining of Indian family values, masculinity, or faith. The show seems to actually celebrate cultural traditions instead of subverting them.

While the show is lighthearted and progressive, it doesn’t present only one worldview. Multiple generational perspectives get their chance, with parents, children, and extended family often disagreeing but ultimately respecting each other. It falls short of heavy-handed ideological uniformity or villainizing traditional viewpoints.
