I am not articulating it well, but will Damo put herself in danger if tortured like Satrupa did to Poonam today or will she sing like a canary ? I am not sure Damo will risk as much as Poonam did today. Her family works for LM too, her dad is sick yet Poonam was silent. Damo will not do that I feel.
Here I agree with you and disagree with you BillyJean. But it's not because Daamo has less loyalty then Poonam. It's because by nature Daamo cares more for herself. If you think back to the Purushottam track, she stood behind Satrupa when Purushottam pointed the gun. Yes Satrupa stepped forward, but if she had wanted she could have come in front again. Not only that, but she was also ready to speak as well. But at the same time it's her loyalty that kept her from telling LM wasis anything about Anami. She only spoke up when Satrupa was being questioned.
Poonam, on the other hand, is both fearless and loyal. She willingly bore Satrupa's torture, but didn't reveal anything. And that's both courage and loyalty.
This is where Anami and Satrupa differ. Both have loyal shadows, but here Anami treated Poonam as an equal, as a sister, as a friend. Satrupa, on the other hand, has always treated Daamo as just a shadow, someone to bounce ideas off of. Daamo is Satrupa's equal, but only when it comes to plans. Poonam is Anami's equal everywhere.
However, I still feel that Daamo is with Satrupa out of loyalty. Yes, money and fear are part of it, but they can only tie a person down for so long. Since Anami has ran away Daamo has seen another side of Satrupa and yet she's not scared, she does not leave. Anyone else in her place, if only kept there by money and fear would have left by now or at least started retaliating. And in today's day and age, knowing secrets is enough to keep someone tied down. At least in my view.
