What do you call them?

CVs are confused.

Akheraj family own a car, they use surf for washing their clothes yet they dress in very old rural costumes and use traditional cooking stove (heated by burning wood, charcoal & animal dung) for cooking.

Akheraj suspects his daughter still she is allowed to wear backless blouses.

They believe in Devi yet they commit all sorts of sins including kidnapping of children...🤢

Men have no respect for women and that woman tortures a small girl.

They've done bal vivaah of their son and their daughter is unmarried.😲 (I think she'll be 23)

I will call them half baked. They are confused villagers. strangely they have planned family with only 2 kids. From Sumitra,Bhairon to akhera and Harki.

BVs cant afford to pay for more kids.

I think the only thing modern about them is that vehicle that Akhera Singh drives.

I call it dichotomy of BV. Be it BH or KB or now this Akheras - creatives are confused what to show. Even in days when BH did not have modern amenities like a mobile phone, they did have a modern kitchen including a built-in self-ignition hob. People in KB were called urban modern people, but they did show so many unheard of riti-rasm relating to marriage/sankranti etc. Now these Akheras and their village also do not fit anywhere. They do not appear to believe in bal-vivah because their daughter is not married and the son was got married to remove some dosh as ordered by devi. Other children in village are not not married - even girls go to school with boys, however, to give Nandini company - they have now introduced another balika vadhu - that looked too forced.
