Kanak a 'Special' Widow ? - Page 3

You are right ratna ...before the society the family comes in to the picture ...if the family itself follows such double standards in case of DT there is no point in blaming the society ...DT being a respectable man in the society considers widows as unworthy people obviously kanak wouldn't hesitate following his path for he wont go against her...Her mil is snubbed again so kanak thinks its alrite to do what DT does and the fear has slowly vanished away.

money and status is everything in our society...sadly, that is how superficial most people are.

Patriarchal society is to blame for the plight of widows, the caste system, set up by rich brahmins who looked at their own benefit, and also conservative and superstitious women are to blame who cause distress and humiliation to other women.

Totally agree that it is women who will have to fight for women and yes men like Viplav who accept women for who they are and not their label .

One would think that the tables have turned with Kanak being the widow and Dhani the suhagin ...she would have an upper hand. But Dhani being subservient can never get that respect from Kanak till she stands up to her.

Her reply in the kitchen yesterday was perfect and Kanak was shaken ..only that it was meant as a One time Plan . People like KAnak can never be won over by whispering sweet nothings.

Brilliant post.

heloo dolly... interesting title.. thing is kanak even before she became a widow was and still is a haughty woman. She goes out the gold side of life.. is very dismissive of servants ,widows.. She is very class conscious and believesi in judging people according to their station,status and weath. dhani is hated by her because dhani is awidow from a lowly background. kanak also believes in fortune , omens and stars.. in short dolly ,kanak the person is influenced by dashrant too she mirrors his attributes, looking down upon widows,earning wealth by stealing offertory from temple.. as a marriied woman too, I see her as a miserable woman.. her husband was maimed, she clearly married him for the money..she is ambitious widow or not greedy woman.. without morals!

yes off course kanak is a special widow...A widow is not allowed to enter the kitchen, do poojas with the rest of the family members, touch the pooja related items...She is not allowed to wear jewelry, eat good food but kanak, being a special widow, can do anything...
