With that disclaimer, I find people should not go so overboard in their hatred for a character that you make statements like these. You completely took away the beauty of adoption and the love an orphan child receives from parents who have no obligation to love him/her by saying they are not the child's real parents. And sorry, naking light of rape and murder attempts and legitimizing parental rights of a person like ratan over jagya--- not done either. Making babies is the easiest thing in the world-- even animals do it. Being a parent is different from proving genetic material, and doing the latter doesn't automatically grant you the right for the former. In fact, in many developed countries, children are taken away from their biological parents if they perceive children are in danger. And the kind of environment the rayan singh household has definitely qualifies. Apart from that, ratan did become a better person and he did have the right to request Ganga about meeting mannu. It was completely her prerogative if she would allow that or not. He's still a minor and she's the parent with the custody-- his mental and physical well being are her responsibility and she can decide if something is good for him or not, at least until he becomes an adult.
On the other hand, ratan singh could have seen/even met Mannu without revealing himself. Mannu is not guarded 24/7. Seems like ratan's wish to meet mannu became strong only on his death bed, and even though that is completely normal, the main thing to consider is how this wish will affect the minor. Either way, mistakes were made but mannu's parents only had his best interests in mind (in fact, only his interests in mind). He'll understand them and their reasoning in time. But in the meantime, let's not get carried away and make such broad statements about important social issues, whatever be ones issues with a fictional character.
Apologies about the typos-- I'm on autocorrect
