RPship

One thing different in the RPship shown in CB1 and the RPship shown in CB2, is that the rules/methods shown in CB1 was somewhat more progressive than CB1. I mean Dadima of CB1 was a woman with broader mind. Although she was rooted to her grounds, but she didn't mind bending some rules for the welfare of her grandson -- because by doing so she wasn't setting any bad example for the society, because by doing so she wasn't causing any harm to the society...because by doing so she was setting an example for the society. She didn't stop Dev from marrying Rads just because her cast wasn't known...neither did she ever stop Rads from entering in to her home temple, because Rads' wasn't known to be a brahmin! She was a progressive woman who wanted to set good examples in front of the society by letting her grandson who was an RP to marry a girl, whose cast wasn't known. By doing so, she didn't break anyone's heart and she didn't harm anyone in the society but rather her step would help in changing the mindset of the society.

Whereas DDjee of CB2, is a rigid man who doesn't believe in change. He is still stuck to those old rules and believes in staying firm on them, no matter what. Doesn't matter if his grandson breaks off...doesn't matter if Rads' feels shattered...doesn't matter if some other girl's life is brought in to this mess and her life is ruined as well (barkha) What matters is the fact that his honor should remain high in the society! Well, what sort of example is he setting? People in old times may have brought in certain rules, but not necessarily those need to be adhered to even if they are now known to be wrong. Well, adhering to principles is necessary...adhering to dharam is necessary...but will the society be able to break the unnecessary chains by adhering to such principles? Isn't the duty of RP to guide people in to right path? Shouldn't RP ask people to break free of those rules and enlighten them in to the path of knowledge, so that the old unnecessary practices can be stopped?
