Niharika I respect your opinion ...
He is now clearly thinking of her studies only I agree....and he could have even sponsored her studies if he feel it's right to send her away to hostel protect her away from the vicious society.....
He might have not thought about the second married life at all I agree but so far what we know is that ani somewhere loves ae.....it might be his illusion but he was the one who confessed it to himself.....so whether it's the makers fault or ani's emotions due to his age , it definitely gives us somewhere a wrong impression even on his pure intention..
He might not want to make bon leave with sumati now...but I disagree it's because he doesn't want to push her to poverty by sending her to sumati because this is the same ani who send her to sumati at that time he had no thought of poverty then why now...the difference now is that he clearly wants to make her a barrister ....but as a guru he should make her study with love ... but the way he is forcing her too harshly will surely bring emotional toll to the girl...and nobody might even think of studies in such a vulnerable state . she is not at all in mental peace... And the way he married right infront of her made her so numb ..so he only has now led to her more reluctance to do what he asks her to do....
Bon is a child and she still hasn't developed real romantic feelings or even know that aspect of a husband wife relation yet....it was clearly shown in the beginning of this track....she is still expecting pure things like caring each other , playing each other etc...but ani isn't trying to understand what she thinks clearly....see niharika, until a child reaches a certain age of emotional maturity the guardian definitely has more responsibility towards understanding what's going on in their mind....communication is the key factor here....I can't argue with you that I'm giving a choice justification here because at the end of the day this is an open forum where each and everyone have their own opinions and we respect each other.....what should we accept and what not is our choice only....everyone can have their own perspective...
Ani can have choice ...he was the one to choose her in his life for her own well being....he sacrificed so much for her but that doesn't gives him any right to think that only his choices are the best for her....since she is being mentored by him doesn't mean he can literally give her such emotional pressure ....seeing many real life examples myself, bon might have relationship or trust issues due to such breakdown at a very tender age...
He has unknowingly made her feel abandoned even from her mother and it's so painful especially during the growing age.....his intentions might be pure but that never justifies the repercussions of his actions on the kid's mental or emotional health....again it's my opinion
But thanks I'm happy to know another side of this discussion though😃
Hope to interact with you more👍🏼
Pardon me but you are thinking again of a modern day woman. Educating a woman was still taboo in rural areas, let alone considering sponsoring a girl who is not related to him. People would not have let her live!!
Brides would continue to suffer torture at their new homes just because their parental family refused to take them back.
Sumati in that situation would have had two choices, to react exactly the way Ani asked her to, or take Bondita back. But would she have been able to educate her? Forget fees, it would have been difficult for her to even gain acceptance for a girl who studies with so many boys. She would have been labelled characterless. This is not an exaggeration, the society who wants her to sleep with her husband as soon as she hit puberty can easily suspect her of not being able to keep it in her pants saree.
India was a third world colony back then. Even British were not taking mental health seriously, forget Indians. How can someone prioritize feelings when basics are at stake?
Just look at AE who keeps the stake of her own life and ever her comrades literally at the tips of her fingers, because freedom is more priority for her than thinking about feelings of families of people in her team. Some may die or be handicapped for life but the pain will be compensated with the sweetness of freedom.
Similarly Aniruddh is motivated by the thought that the short term hurt for Bondita will heal with the achievement of the long term goal of her career. He honestly doesn't care if she hates him for or forgets him as a bad chapter in her life. She will not just hate Aniruddh but child marriage and superstition too (none of the rituals she did in blind faith could woo him) which is definitely a positive outcome.
