Jallandar l Vrinda - The DKDM Mess - Page 6

I think sometimes the women in Mythos were much stronger than the ones shown in our Sauce Ketchup nonsense

One more thing. We cannot analyze the events that happened in treta / dwpara yuga using our Kali yug (specifically 21st century) standards.

I have a couple of things to say, (which may be contrary to opinions expressed here) so please hear me out patiently.

Point 1: This is regarding the portryal of Vrinda / Parvati / other woman characters. This is a mytho show, based on events which have supposedly occured thousands of yeards ago.

Now, the saas bahu serial are set in today's world. IMO, they are better equipped to show the modern woman as she is...independents, working...etc. But which saas bahu serial does that? Women are always shown walking about in huge mansions, clad in designer sarees, heavy jewellery and make up even when in bed...Is there anyone like that today?

If at all they show a woman going to work, it is usually because her father is sick / dead and she has to support a mother and younger siblings. In due course of time she marries a rich guy and becomes another woman walking about in another huge mansion, clad in designer sarres, heavy jewellery and make up, with a host of schemeing in-laws to keep company

I don't know if serials have changed these days; this was the scenario a few years back, after which I have stopped watching such dramas.

If the saas- bahu serials cannot portray the modern woman as she is, then how can we expect DKDM to show women- who lived eons ago - in a 21st century manner?

Point 2: Whether we like it or not, women were supposed to be submissive to their husbands. That was the norm and we cannot wish it away. The 'pativrata' factor was a big thing. No denying.

A woman would not call her husband by name, her life centered around her husband, she was expected to accord her husband the status of God. And Vrinda was the gold standard for Pativarta- ness.

This is how Vrinda, Parvati,et all are portrayed, and to that extent the CVs are factually correct.

If I had cribs about the weak portrayal of women, it would be in the saas bahu serials- no here.

Varali whatever you have stated is absolutely right...my point is being a pativrata is not a vice but a virtue...infidelity is something I would never want to be condoned in any society...being a pativrata never meant bowing down to your husbands wrong deeds. ... the problem here is the depiction of only the pativrata aspect of Parvati...There is a lot more to Parvati even in Purans than just being a pativrata...

varaalididi Parvati was submissive wife to Mahadev she loved to be like that that is true but that was not ultimate was Adi Shakti like what it showed in DKDM?? only wants to save her children not the world?? and did Adi Shakti asked for forgiveness each time she came in her true self to slay asurs??and can adi shakti be kidnapped??

That and also when u are portraying Vrinda so strongly how this 90 degree trun now when Jalandhar tells her that I am doing this for our bright future I expected a stronger reaction there. She was so bold to put off his proposal saying am not a commodity now what happened.

That was for obvious reasons, certain faction wanted romance and lo and behold jallandar is suddenly in love with his wife.

was not mahishasur track wrong?? did durga slayed mahishasur only to save kartikeya?..kartikeya may have fought with mahishasur and might have lost (in bengal there is a verson like that where ganesh and kartikeya both were lost to him) but was it was only reason of evoking Durga?? was not mahishasur a threat for Universe??
in bengal we grow up with mahishasurmardini story and it says a complete different thing which everyone knows here

My point of this thread has nothing to do with Adi shakthi or her portrayal.
Mine was
1. Evil shown in lovely shades of niceness for reasons i will not point out
2. Women Power Being diluted , women made a mockery in the story and women lapping it up
