When the boy visited the girl they would show a pretty girl but the marriage happened with somebody else much less presentable or had some disability. Nobody made a big deal cause Saptapadi was considered very sacred, God's will.
this was very common practic in old age where groom and bride were not supposed to meet before marriage....
and chaubes are from UP (utter pradesh) side and they are basically work as priest and all that is my knowledge too....
and about bhrahim knowing religion and scripts.......sorry i dont want to offend anyone's feelings here and let me tell you i believe in prayer and all........but as per my experience tell me that the way scriptus and religion used to be taught and studied in ancient age is now not there
now that things has been converted in money making business.....scare unknowledgible people on name of god..
before we had cast system and all cast had been allocated jobs so they can survive with...like kshatriya used to fight for their community and kingdom and country whatever
than vaishya used to do all business,
shudras had all law labour
than brahmin had to learn religion and scripts.....now only brahimn's job was such that they could not earn real money so we have PRATHA that we give food items and VASTRA(cloths) as dakshina......so in that way brahmin used to survive...........but as time changed all this real things took place as money......as we like easyway out......so slowly it became like business.......
actually religion is to make human being educated and knowledgible but for their selfish motive few people have converted it into ANDH SHRADHA...like if you do this ......this benifite will happen and if you dont do this GOD will be angry ........so do this puja and that puja
i was really upset when i heard about CB showing this kund bath and takshak puja to cure radhika's burn mark and it had reason.......
like my grany is ardent fan of all this drama ......and specially CB because it has all kind of prayers and all but NOW you see what kind of effact all this drama can give to tender and young mind....
my granny was watching this perticular epi .she was awestruck with this devine experience.......
but my cousin's daughter who is around 9 to 10 years old......suddenly blurt out that DEV loves RAdhika too much but no body loves me that way
all were surprised by her that emotional blurt out....my cousin asked her why is she feeling that way...........now the truth is when she was around 5 in one accident she was burned below her waist and her skin is really not in good condition but doctor said as she is young they will perform plastic surgery when she will grow....
so from that scene ........she told her mom DEV kept hard VRat for radhika and she is cured now but no body loves me that much so no body did that prayer for me and see i have ugly body and i cannot even wear short skirt and nice dress like my friends
she was emotionally tormented.......after.........now it was difficult to make her understand that whatever they are showing in DRama is false and not possible in real life...........her tender mind was not ready to believe.....that such things my elder are watching with great faith........how oculd it be WRONG
and misti the book you have written about ....i loved your post and actually reading those things i forced to write here otherwise now a days i am avoiding writing anything about drama as i am not watching any.............
so from that i remember KAvivar TAgor had another book Name TWO sister..........in this drama also one sister's husband fancied for his sali..............and on that book one drama also they made on ZEE long back........Pallavi joshi and Harsh chhaya was in that drama as main character the other two i dont remember the name.............
luckily in CB still dev does not love vishakha.............that is only positive thing has left.....
PS: sorry i dont want to offend anyone........i respect your feelings......but if unknowingly i have offended you people i ask for forgiveness..........thanks
