Pennywise pound foolish.

Akheraj denied a few rupees to Kamli for buying books. But he paid a very heavy dowry for her marriage.

Lopsided priorities.

This is the problem that is persisting.

Instead of giving good education and making their daughters self reliant and supporting their wishes, parents like Akheraj and Harki are ready to dole out heavy dowry and indulge in wasteful expenditure conducting lavish ceremonies.

And they want to get back all that they have spent on their daughters through their bahus.

Lopsided priorities are a result of misplaced beliefs .
Father of the bride is the ultimate achievement for any man with a daughter. Sadly it cuts across the cultures races and faiths. No matter how developed a nation is daughters are believed to be safe only if they are under the protection of a man. East or west it doesn't matter. Fathers of daughters believe that men are out to get their claws on their daughters.

In India it is accentuated further because they don't understand the value of education and financial independance. Dowry is just a means to buy protection for the girls and relieve themselves of this burden.

Had Akheraj been made to believe that if he educates his daughter and makes her independent she will not be a bhoj on him further more he may have to dole out lot less as dowry he probably would have heeded to it.

Now the situation is changing in every part of the country even in rural areas. I have seen in many villages of Rajasthan, people are not marrying their daughters before they get some employment. Because they try to find best groom for their daughter but if the groom is well educated and employed, they are demanding girl also to be educated and in some cases employed. So in villages if someone's daughter is employed, her parents are so relived that she will automatically get a good husband.
In my native village in Rajasthan most of the girls are not married before the age of 24-25. One or two exceptions are may be there.

i think the way anandi transformed dadisa. one day nimboli will transform akheraj.
and now i have stop dreaming that nimboli will go to shivniketan.

because if she goes to shivniketan story will end . story will be interesting when she will stay in akheraj family adn grown ups in that family as young bride.

may be anandi will come to know about her daughter but she will fail to get her back. after that cvs will also end anandi and story will be journey of nimboli as balikavadhu and may be shivam will fight her mother's battle.

If the CVs wanted Anandi and Nandini to be separated for ever they would not have kept Anandi alive. Anandi and Shiv would have been killed together after Anandi gave birth to twins.Kidnapping would have happened after Anandi died.
Even if they kept her alive they would have made sure that Nandini's kidnapping did not happen because of Anandi's mistake. Anandi would have cried for some time would have searched for her but would have gone on living.

Nandini and her mother will get back together and Anandi will get a chance to make up for the lost time.



One more thing Mangala is the next Dadisa not Akheraj

i m watching this serial only to know whether anandi will unite with her daughter or not.
But day by day i m loosing my patience . nothing concrete is happening on any front, even akheraj is also become cool now. for nimboli just scolding , nothing major happening in her life.

even i dont find akheraj is having any evil plan for nimboli. he just scolds her , beats her but he never thought to remove her from there life. i think he also want free of cost servant. if nimboli will listen to them they will not scold her. so they dont have any problem if nimboli stays with them as servant.

so i dont think akheraj and family will go so soon , there is long way to go .

and to become dadisa mangla need proper adviser which she dont has. for that she needs to meet person like anandi but i think there is no hopes for this.
