Freedom to choose

Freedom of choice : That's what sets apart man from animal. But sadly not everyone have that choice. Some are deprived of it from birth and most go through periods when it is taken away from them although by and large they have the freedom to do what they want.

Santo's case is one where she has never enjoyed that freedom in life. While she was with her Nana, she did not feel the need to exercise it. Like a good obedient girl she did all that was expected of her including consenting to marry the guy who had been chosen for her. When he absconded, a man nearly thrice her age decided to marry her for his own business reasons. Again she had no choice but accept it. She was treated worse than a servant in her husband's house. Again she had no choice but to accept it. Now she has been ordered to dress up in rich clothes and put up a show for the visiting friends. Again she has no choice but to go along with this deceit.
DM's children have been living in the lap of luxury. They have, by and large, had the freedom of choice but the few instances when it was taken away from them, how furious they got.
Take Hiten for instance. When he realised that his father had stood guarantee for his loan how angry he was as he wanted to achieve success on his own.
Take Maulik. The guy could not bear his father asking questions where he was spending the money he gave him.
Now Kadambari could not digest the fact that she was not consulted in decisions relating to her life. They all feel rightfully angered at the 'injustice' of it all.And these were only a few occassions when they lost the freedom of choice.
But poor Santo. She has never ever had the freedom to choose anything in her life. That is the sad part of it all. Her status is no better than that of an animal.

after reading each and every words of urs Opti I wish Santo too had freedom to choose but I guess that's just to way it goes for some of us in life and if she would have had freedom to choose we won't be here talking about what she is going through now......
wonderful post/topic hun.

Loved ur post Opti.
She feels like a Bandini...as if she is caged. And I don't blame her either...her plight is actually worse than that of an animal. hehe...at least a pet gets good choices nowadays when it comes to pet food or toys but Santo..bechaari...I want DM to suffer for making her go through all this.

well I agree but...

santu had a choice...and that was to continue the wedding or not.... she made her choices and the result is that she is paying a very big price....
about the kids.... DM is pushing down his hukum on the children....so they will go against him....in hiten case I would say .. his patience has been past....and that is why he is behaving as a rebel....and the way DM is treating him....yaar he si an adult...so treat him like one....but hiten should not pass his boundaries ....and still be respectful...and try to talk to his dad....
maulik....
that is an lost case...nothing good can come out off that boy....his aunt is an bad example for him.....
kadam...
well she is right to Q her dad....cause it her life....but her attitude is wrong....and she needs to grow up....

My take on freedom to choose.. is that no matter what the situation, human being always has a choice...there is always two ways. Each person has to choose one path over the other weighing their pros and cons. But a choice is always made my self. Santu doesn't excersise her right to say no. She chooses to follow, to respect, to abide and to obey. She chooses to stay even after the ill treatment. There is a choice. no?

True!! JC, i don't think she can choose....she doesn't have any options.....she is a good human....she does what's being told....but then i feel she believes that's what all wives have to do...to pick up after their families....but in her case....when she does something that's not asked of her she's reminded of her status.....DM did it soo brutally!! and always the viewer can see this hesitancy and doubt in her actions....the whole prasad scene....she had to look at DM surreptitiously to see what her next sequence of actions wud be!!
