So,as you can know from the title itself,I am here to ask whether Dharma is really doing right or not. Before proceeding, I want to tell that I don't know the real history so I'm going by the virtual history being depicted in the show. I hope I'll be forgiven if I say something which I shouldn't have said!😆
Okay, so, Dharma is always imposing a heavy burden of emotional atyachaar on Ashoka. Since the beginning, she has taught Ashoka the virtue of non-violence. It is in no way wrong but as being a mother, she should also try to feel and understand what her son wants. She does not want Ashoka to shed blood of others but does she have the right to come in between Ashoka's happiness? Ashoka,being a son, has to obey all the orders of his mother and also to follow all her moral values which Ashoka IS doing. But,on the other hand, Dharma being a mother does not want Ashoka to do what he wants. This is the age of Ashoka in which he should explore the world but Dharma is trying to suppress him which is really wrong. A mother should give all happiness and comfort to her child but shouldn't want anything in return. If Ashoka wants to learn sword-fighting, archery and all, then why is Dharma acting as a barrier? Ashoka said that learning the fighting skills won't convert him into a destroyer, it's right. Learning how to fight does not make you a fighter! It's all your choice that you want to fight or not. And apart from that, learning anything never goes in vain. In fact, it will help in one or the other sphere of the life. But, here Dharma which is behaving as a good mother is forgetting this and wants Ashoka to forget all his dreams and live a life which she wants. So, I feel it's really wrong on Dharma's side to stop Ashoka from achieving his dreams! She should in fact encourage her son to fight for the good of the people and the kingdom in which he resides. She knows that her values won't convert his son into a destroyer then why is she doing so!
I hope Dharma will understand this and let her son go to the royal school and learn the fighting skills.
What do you think, guys? 😳
