May be Maasa is right! - Page 4

Maasa is a very strong character. As a woman I admire her power. The whole village is humble in front of her, the way she shouted at the bull owner was awesome, she says she has grown her entire business on her own. She def goes overboard most of the times but I can't even imagine a person like Sumitra, Sugna in her place.. maybe Gehna or Anandi.

She is brought up in a different social background, she has seen how badi maasi was treated back when she tried to be modern. It is her sons who never tried to change her, she is gradually changing but some resistance is bound to follow. She feels bad but accepts when gehna revolted, when Basant stands by his wife, when bhairon stands by his family.. Badi maasi is bringing about changes that will take time for her to accept. her family is as much at fault as maasa is. Why is Sumitra so dumb? why did sugna oppose her own father when he didn't want her to stay in the outhouse? why did basant buy a wife? This is the next generation, blame them.. The person who tolerates oppression is as bad as the oppressor.

I just get awestruck at the command in maasa's voice, her stature and her power.
