They are from different era, but you know what there was not much difference b/e Geet and Puro.. both were week.. Maan stepped in Geet's life and she became strong.. otherwise brij would have killed her long back..
Also, there are still places atleast in Punjab, where girls still live in that kind of era.. trust me.. I have some cousins in Punjab, one in kartarpur, and she is expected to cook for a huge joint family after just 40 days of having baby.. she still lacks energy, but all she gets to hear is if she will work her body will recover faster and she has nothing much to say, but to accept it.. I have another one in Batala, and she had polio, almost unnoticable till you tell someone, still when she was to get married, her father had offer huge money to get married.. it sucks but its still like this.. Geet in beginning could not open mouth in front of brij.. Brij claimed Geet has no say in her marriage in front of Maan.. so Geet's upbringing was no different from Puro.. Ok, so since in movie it was showed she forgave, I compared.
Now coming to Sita Vs Drupadi, Sita chose that cos she was kind of questioned by Lord Ram, her husband when he heard a dobi talking bad.. where as Durpadi was not.. she was challenged by evil Kauravs. Pandavs did not question her.
Also, 2010 does not make women strong.. Jansi ki Rani was strong in 1857 too.
For saas bahu stories, I dont have much to say, I do agree women are women's greatest enimies in that regard.
And regarding NT, please dont disgrace women by calling her woman.
They were weak before I accepted where I denied but one emerged as rebel as fighter after Maan came to life….and other remain week and became more of acceptor type after Rashid came to her life. I explained their difference in above post so I cant go on counting them again and again. What was difference…They were different….If person is born weak that doesnt means he/she will remain like that for all her life. Trauma and Tragedy change everyone for better or worst. For Geet case she changed from meek submissive girl to strong women who fought for her rights. For Puro she became more meek and submissive and added one more quality that was acceptance to whatever fate throw at her.
Yes Brij might have killed her but you forgot that its GEET who in front of whole world exposed his own brother anc claimed entire family GEET will now be only GEET that statement showed how she emerged as winner fighter. Why you are complaining apple or orange….IF your stance I can give 100 real life not fictional example where women killed her rapist …(my frnd who despite fighting for 7 years when her fake husband cried begged for pardon went for justice…..when she was alone with her kid……still she fought) ..So Geet should do that……They are different character and I explained in minute details , I will not repeat again and again if you bring same point after accepting they were different….
Sita and drapadi……….Remember Sita was questioned of charcter from husband right Draupadi was used as object and was used as bet ……Unke pati ne unhe dhaav pe lagya tha……What more worst according to you………Dhaav pe lagna or character per shak karma…………why they have different solution ………….why draupadi didn't left home and went to exile and why she took oath to kill her abuser but never left her husband while other did……Let me add one random analogy like you did as Puro did GEet should do same. Why you compared Puro with Geet why not compare with Rani padma vati to save her honor she burned herself alive and was sati………Why not GEET chose same option and killed herself as soon as she came to know of her rape…I don't believe in it as for me both are different
I don't get it are you defending your self or against yourself because half of you statement give me idea you want to convey exactly what I am saying. Like Jhansi ki Rani Statement she fought for right, she never forgave any enemy…She fought she killed she was winner therefore she made name in real history. Please read my statement I never said all women of that era were meek and weak.
But there were unlimited Puro's in that era why no one is there our history why they were not remembered as women of that era. Puro was fictional imagination of Amrita Pritam, for what she saw around her….not reality but why we don't have single biography of brave women like Puro of era who forgave and accepted her destiny, fate never fought back whatever life thrown at them.
Because for historians they were not the one to idolize or remembered in future what they did was not miraculous not different as 99% of women were like this only one percent those who were fighters are usually remembered
…….My whole idea of this thesis is …GEet and Puro are different....a lioness cant be compared to lamb....Geet was lioness and Puro was lamb.......... different people have different solutions for different problems of life….But you are harping everyone on this earth will behave in exact one manner……….if one did this 1947 other will do same in 2010…….era was different context was different……….and most importantly now women is different …during that era women rarely stood for their rights…they were considered as object for sex …children ….marital rape was not considered as rape then…..But if in that era women liked to live as object this era women should live like this….why women now complain for marital rape….domestic violence.
If you believe a women should forgive her abuser rapist when he ask for forgiveness than its your belief. I don't question yours But my belief says a women should fight for any kind of domestic violence, rape and never forgive culprit until whole justice done to set example for these abuser that you can't get away with what you did to someone soul and life with your crocodile(for me) or real(for you) tears.
