Comparisons !!!!

Intresting post! Cities not always breed weak,selfish and shallow women.Women from cities can be equally willed,successful and compassionate as a village girl.Ofcourse we hv seen plenty examples in our day to day life.Sanchi for sure doesnt reflect today's city girl.Ashima,I wont say her issue is abt city or village.Its a girly issue in general.She is stuck up with self-pity.She needs to let go of what isnt meant to be.And this issue can be faced by any girl irrespective of village or city.

I think the only good example of a city woman BV has shown is Shivani...she was rly good.At some point of time I so wished her to be related to Shiv...like his elder sister or maternal aunt.

I agree and disagree.

Ganga and Sanchi are being compared.Their place of origin is only a minor issue.

They are comparing Ganga's adjusting and giving nature to Sanchi selfish nature.

Ganga's ability to adapt herself to fit into the Singh household Sanchi's fixed opinions about people and life styles and narrow mindedness.

Ganga's abilities and nature developed because of all the hardships she has faced in life and Sanchi's inabilities and closed mindedness comes from sheltered upbringing.

If looked at more objectively even if Ganga has been brought up in a city but was subjected to the same treatment she has been subjected to as a child she still would have ended up as the way she is that is kind loving girl who values people's kindness and make adjustments in order to fit into the lives of Singhs who are villagers.

Even if Sanchi were to be from a village but has been brought up the way she was by her parents she would still find it difficult to adjust in Singh household.

We also have examples of Jagya who has been brought up in village but hated everything and his origins this was way before he went to Mumbai.

There was Shivraj Shekhar who is a city boy but adjusted to the rustic ways of Singhs very easily.

The makers clearly showed the differences in the basic personality and nature of Ganga and Sanchi.

I do not think it is about elevating rustic rural folks and looking down on city folks.

When Shekhars came down to meet Anandi their issues were about her interest in her career not about her abilities to adjust to a city life.Because it was quite evident that Anandi is capable of adjusting to life style different to that of hers if it is necessary.

They are comparing Ganga and Sanchi with regarding to their respective natures.

If Sanchi was shown to be city bred so was Ashima.There is a world of difference between the two and the way they look at the world.

Ashima honestly thinks that she loves Shiv.If Ashima really loved Shiv she would have made adjustments to suit the life in rural India.

So I don't think this comparison is all about looking down on city girls and celebrating village girls at all.

welcome to BV forum 😊 though i don agree fully...i liked ur post..

I agree that they are showing girls living in city as not so good and villaged based girls are good.

Apy I disagree with some points.I know the difference b/w Ganga and Sanchi is bcoz of their nature and the difference in the environment they have been born and brought up in but still it cant be said that the show isnt elevating village gals over city gals.Coz they never showed a city gal being as strong as an Anandi or a phooli.No of their female lead/parallel lead was a strong character from city. All the strongest female characters in the show were from village.Even city gals face social evils. Even there life can be difficult. I doubt this is co-incidental that all city gals of the show have either been weak or bitchy.Wud have appreciated if they could bring a character whose from city yet as strong as Ganga or Anandi.

nice post...i think u r right...😊
