Sumitra must have forgotten how her daughter became Mrs.Shyam. Sugna was also pregnant with her dead husband's child. And Shyam took enormous risks to give a new life to sugna instead of letting her become another asha. Shyam incurred the wrath of traditionalists, his father, his tau and also sugna's ex inlaws. At that time the cow sumitra did not think that Shyam's life has become risky and so her daughter should remain a mourning widow confined to a dark room eating satvik food etc.

And ganga is not even considered by Jagya as his would be. He is just her well wisher. Ganga could have become an ayah or even a beggar begging alms with a cute child. But she chose to live with the singhs with dadisa's blessings. She became de facto member of the family because of her loyalty and sincerity. She may have feelings for Jagya but it is not such a big crime.

What got my goat was Sumitra's behaviour with mannu. She is not a true mother but a selfish mother. She thinks of the safety of her grownup son but not such an adorable toddler. As long as my Jagya is safe, let others go to hell seems to be her new attitude.

As for as ganga becoming self sufficient and independent, it is easy to say such things but in practical life it is not that easy. A young and attractive girl with no family umbrella is an easy prey even if she is independent and working. Everyday the newspapers have so many incidents reported. So if ganga choses the umbrella of singhs, what is wrong with it? Ganga must also be waiting for the right time to take some decisions like leaving the singhs.

Agree with you TM. Her own doughter was in similer situation but she is unable to understand and sympathisiz with Ganga. She is a mother but also a women. And how could she behave so rudely with Mannu he is just a 1yr baby?? I wish Shyam and Sugna came and give some brain to her.

We cannot equate Shyam-Sugna with Ganga-Jagya. Shyam was in love with Sugna, they got married (after which he got beaten up by men (perhaps servants) accompaning Pratap's mother). Sugna was not living with Shyam's family before marriage. Here so far Jagya has not shown any feeling like love towards Ganga. He just saved her out of humanity and is her well-wisher. What Jagya is doing for Ganga, even a brother will do for his sister.
Sumitra's concern about her son's safety is alright, what is wrong is this sudden change. She (and the whole family) already knew what sort of person Rat is. Instead of making faces now, she/other family members should have discussed this issue when they gave shelter to Ganga. If Ganga is living with them, the best course would have been adopting her as daughter. That way, her living with them would have legal sanction as well as society sanction. I hate when they show people teasing women (like when Ganga went on bike with Jagya) why show such mentality again and again?
Ganga was anyway going to leave Rat and would have lived alone, if not given shelter in haveli. However, they changed her charecter, otherwise, she would have left haveli even though it would be difficult for her to study living alone, or at least she would have requested for some job, so that she is self-sufficient and not living as dependent on Singhs.

There cannot be exact circumstances. There will be similar circumstances.

A mother is mother becoz she has heart of a mother. She may be selfish for her chile somtime but she cant be crual. How can sumi being so crual to Ganga and Mannu. "Because of Ganga my son is unsafe" but at once she should think about Ganga who has no mother no father and forcfully married in childhood gote raped, beaten up by the monster. And now tring to be happy, tring to forget her past, ... Everyone seeing Anandi in her but Sumi !

i sometimes wonder if sumitra would have shown the same care for anandi if she would ave become her bahu at normal age as she did in her tender age?...i don't think so...anandi has stayed with sumi from childhood and is like a daughter to her so she was able to do justice to her...even i feel it's stupid to let ganga out of singh's house...ganga is not losing any self-respect...it's only sumitra who is taunting her but everyone else still thinks of her as family...the minute ganga steps out of haveli she will be killed and her child will be taken away...in such cases even the asharam for women cannot give protection to her
you are right sumitra is just a selfish mother and because anandi lived with her for so long she thinks anandi as her child
same way we cannot say ira will love anandi the same s sumitra did...she may be sweet and understanding to her but not the a mother because anandi is in such age that it will be difficult for her to give anandi same love as she does to her to own children...

don't know why sumi suddenly lost humanity in her that she wants to thrown ganga out

Sumitra became selfish mom.
How come she didn't think of jagya safety when he was in Mumbai.
How come she forgot that Ganga only saved jagya life.
