Power play and emotions.

Suhasini has always had principles of her own, irrespective of the case she is fighting, she fights for truth and with her own convictions, much like Swadheenta. except that Suhasini has over the years of being a successful and famous lawyer, worked up a certain ego and over confidence in her ability to see through things, that she is unable to test her convictions, that are so rooted in blaming Asad. Swadheenta, on the other hand, is a fairly new lawyer on the block, who is fresh out of a strong belief in herself, and with fresh perspectives on things, because of which she is more open to arguments that challenge her convictions. In Asad's case, despite the fact that it is her brother, she is fighting for the truth, not because like Suhasini, she cannot accept something that doesn't fit her view point, but because she sees the loopholes in the case, and is fighting because of facts, not because of an overconfidence in herself or her opinion. That is the major difference between Suhasini and Swadheenta, even though both are women of substance and who are righteous, highly principled, honest and keep their families as first priority. It is on the basis of power and success alone that Swadheenta is still adaptable to others opinions, while Suhasini is overconfident of her own judgments.

I had a feeling from the precap that Manohar will not let anyone know what the minister told him. As righteous and honest Suhasini has been shown, Manohar has been shown a slave of the sytem. While he hasn't done any really bad deeds under that pretext, he hasn't been the most honest government officer there is, like his son, Adarsh. He grapples under the power of power itself, and plays his principles according to the laws of power, not principles that are his own. In his case, power has made him succumb to becoming just a puppet that plays to the tune of power. Adarsh, on the other hand, has not let the power that comes from being a Sinha, a powerful scion, and an IAS officer in the government, get to his convictions. In this case, he is like his mother. He stays true to his principles. He differs with Suhasini in that, that he is open to arguments that challenge his view points. In many cases in the past, he has believed in Swadheenta's convictions, and let go of his own. Right now, his one sided vision is not a case of overconfidence or ego, it is simply charged emotion. For him, the only thing that matters is his brother is dead and he wants the killers punished, and he believes it to be Asad and Haider. Manohar, on the other hand, has let power decide the course of his son's murderers going scot free. This is my biggest disappointment. I knew, he won't be able to say anything even after knowing the truth, but they did not even give him a realistic curve where he atleast gives his dead son a thought. I had thought he would tell the minister that " let asad go to to jail, I don't care, even if he is falsely convicted so that sytem error is not known, but still find the terrorist that killed my son and hang him too". I know he doesn't give a damn about Asad, so letting him take the bullet as a terrorist is not a big deal for his character. But since they showed him to be oh so devastated at his son's death, the least he couldv'e shown is some kind of remorse or guilt at being stuck in this position. Instead they showed him so calmly come to the decision that let the real terrorist go, Asad needs to be declared terrorist so that sytem and his position is kept safe. It was super unrealistic. Any father would have given it a thought.

Jaidev, shown to be so much more attached to his brothers than his family, was shown as different from Adarsh and abhay in the sense that, he has somewhat skewed principles and he is closer to his dad than mom, so his characteristics have been shown to be somewhat more like Manohar than Suhasini. He thinks yelling at his wife, taunting her constantly, treating her like a doormat is ok behavior, which means clearly he is not as principled as Adarsh, nor as loving as Abhay. But, the most redeeming quality he was shown to have, was his love for his brothers. I don't think they showed him that attached to his parents even, because he blamed them partially for his marriage with Jaya for 5 years. But with Adarsh and Abhay, he was shown to be completely protective and close to his both brothers. how did they show him so calm when the minister said they can't show system wrong? I expected him to yell at the minister and say the same thing " that you can go ahead and prove Asad a terrorist, but you also need to find the guy who killed my brother and label him a terrorist and hang him too". I understand they don't care about wrong or right, but atleast they care about their son/brother's killer going scot free? But, they showed no emotion on either face. Very disappointing factor in an otherwise tight script.

I know they will redeem Jai because of the black thread, but the instant reaction at such a preposterous revelation by the minister was very required from both father and son.

Swadheenta rocked the episode today. Marvellous acting and great counter points.

Priti i can understand your POV. Yes it did seem inhuman to sit romancing when the lives of those around is in shambles and you have no guilt about the revelation of the minister.

Nice analysis. I could not digest the fact that the father and brother who were hell bent on getting justice to Abhay did not think about the real culprit...very disappointing...but this is going to create more problems to swadeentha...if suhasini comes to know about this in the future she is going to take both of them to task...

I'm still keeping my hopes alive based on that kaala dhaga.. It has to yield some magic😆

Yeah...kind of unrealistic behaviour from Manohar and Jai especially when we all know what Abhay means to both of them. I agree with you that they should have at least asked for the minister to search for Abhay's killer(s), but here they were shown worrying about their power and how to protect their position. After this there is no redemption for both. They need to suffer, somehow.

I totally agree with you moon!

I know that all of us cannot be martyrs. I don't believe in that and I don't expect it. I am not one either. I don;t take anything from anyone lying down. I am selfish when it comes to certain things. I take any opportunity that comes my way to better my career. I understand that.

People have different value systems. You are part of a system where corruption, under the table dealings etc are normal. If you want to live and survive in this system you have to be a part of it. Fine, whatever. I won't judge anyone that does these things also. But my point is that you cannot do it at the cost of someone else's life. Unknowingly you may be causing distress and problems in the life of many people by taking these bribes and all. But here the thing is literally about the life and death of someone. How can anything else be more important.

We truly need people that we can gain inspiration from. Humanity does!

hi!

Loved your point and agree with you completely. You cannot turn a blind eye to someone's personal value system if those values cause so much devastation, hurt and distress in other people's lives. That is just lack of basic humanity, compassion and integrity, which are things, that as human beings, everyone should have ingrained in them, irrespective of value systems. These are human moral and ethical codes that are necessary for every human being. Manohar and Jai, and many other people who to save themselves, let other people suffer in such big ways, lack those basic moral codes, even if their values may be different from us.

In this case, what I was appalled by, was that it wasn't just another police officer who died at the hands of a terrorist they are willing to let go to save the sytem. It was Manohar's son and Jaidev's own brother that was martyred and they are willing to let his killer go free to save their position. I found it so unrealistic. I wish they had shown that Manohar would have revolted against the minister saying I don't care about my position as much as I care about my son's killers. They could have shown minister blackmailing Manohar on some other basis. A seat in parliament is too small a bribe to show as convincing for a father who lost his son. IT was so unacceptable to see Manohar behave that nonchalantly about it. I know he is not the best goody goody character on the show, also lacks a spine, unlike his wife. But he was still a super loving dad and loved Abhay, as was shown. So it was only natural that he would be shocked at the revelation and demand for real culprit to be caught, or atleast be in some sort of guilt/remorse/upset condition. They showed it too easily.

In reality, many people in government positions exist, who like someone mentioned are a result of the power nasha and have skewed moral codes because it's part of their "office culture" almost. It is very common in big bank corporations, top guys at the highest positions, making crazy money and with power and influence. Take the example of the Koch brothers in the US, or the bank execs who made flawed decisions to make money that cost an entire country to face recession and thousands of people to lose their homes, in 2008. Or the officials who may have implicity caused riots in our own country between different communities to help get votes for election. This stuff is so common, it becomes part of everyone's psyche to be a certain way that works in top positions of power. Not saying everyone becomes like that, but like someone pointed out, to get there, you ultimately adapt to the corruption, under the table stuff and people who give up their values to get to power, will finally become just another person in the sphere that is selfish and can push other people under the bus to save his own.
