IKRS Sunday 15th May 2016 ep 248 My Take ~on your knees! but off the hook!
Many human decisions and judgements are influenced by the implications they are likely to have on one's personal repute and stature. Factors like respectability, loss of public face and power, consideration for family demands surface, and decisions can easily be swayed and to reversed from right to wrong , thus causing a miscarriage of judgement. The episode also tackles with situations where the issue of morality is thrown in too , to deviate and tone down a heinous punishable act. More so to protect crime , emotional familial blackmail is brought in. Thus Dashrant veers Viplav from the real issue of and manipulates him to let Asthana off the hook!
Viplav reiterates to Dashrant, Asthana not only defiled Dhani but dishonoured the family name as well. Viplav is met with emotional pleas from his dada ji . Its best he forgives the man as they still have to face , the community around them. Dhani wonders what decision her husband takes .Viplav for a moment is disappointed, by his dadaji's suggestion. Painstakingly he considers the fact that the issue is more about dadaji's reputation in society at large, and not as much, Dhani's maltreatment at the hands of Asthana. Viplav as the considerate son mitigates his approach, but in terms of crime being punished, his stance still holds firm. He demands Asthana carries out a public apology in a physically prostrate manner, rubbing his nose on the ground. The nose is the projected three dimensional feature, the central point of the face. The act of rubbing ones nose on the ground is visually a humiliating and demeaning sight. Since the face is an individual's , pride demanding it to be lowered against the ground! where people set the lowliest part of their body ,their feet! The aim is to bruise the ego and high station of Asthana .Viplav's verdict on Asthana is designed to make the pervert realize , he was seen as a man who stood on high moral ground. Now that ground looks terribly shaky! Viplav asks Dhani , she too is ready to step back for dada ji' respect. Viplav thus offers the offender choice of prison or public apology. Asthana apologizes! Without an aorta of remorse, in fact he already considers a back lash for the tirpathis for his insult! # Kamini to save face, and to ascertain if Dhani be grudges her in any way? tenders Dhani an apology, as she set her up with the night school. Tries once again the technique of bailing Dhani out of this mess that has backfired. But dhani sets Kamini right, as she adds in, it's no issue as Viplav ,the one who matters to her is on Dhani's side. Kamini accepts this bitterly , but secretly continues to consider Dhani as a stupid gullible girl! However Kamini needs to face it her strong hold on Dhani is weakening..
The public may have dispersed but the family court room drama is under way. Dashrant commands the proceedings, moots the judge misunderstands Dhani, and the school she attends. Bua too catches on and throws the onus on Dhani going to night schoo!l and what people are likely to say about Dhani. Viplav growls , are they more bothered about what people say? and less about Dhani's intent?dashrant presses on that both Asthana and him have suffered equal measures of public humiliation. But Viplav backs his wife and insists , why is wife Dhani made to feel the guilty one? when the judge is clearly in the wrong? Dhani clearly went to acquire education! Symbolically he places the evidence of her work , near the scrolls of scriptures that are meant to teach and instruct! Viplav asks dadi would she not laud the effort and commitment Dhani puts in to acquire education? All day she works and manages time to learn at night?dadi praises Dhani that one issue the family had with Dhani was her illiteracy , but that too she has attempted to resolve. So clearly as expected, dadi continues to show support to Viplav and Dhani. But Bua, as expected, drags in the issue of night school! Dhani's character can be seen as doubtful, and not Asthana's. Kanak who loathes Dhani, always considered her characterless jumps in! joins in the anti Dhani gang! badmouths and mocks Dhani. With Kanak and Bua,Dashrant too joins forces, to pressurize Viplav and Dhani. Had she shown interest in learning before him ,he would have arranged for a home tutor! Viplav argues, she wanted to surprise him!! with her learning and effort! He is very pleased! But Kanak butts in that in order to please Viplav , Dhani is happy to smear the reputation of the whole family name!Viplav roars , he is shocked instead of supporting Dhani's effort ,being a buttress for the trauma she suffered!! they fall on her like a ton of bricks, and turn a blind eye to the judges s dastardly deed !. Dashrant changes technique of veering the guns off Asthana. on to Dhani. Viplav raises the question of the stereotype issue ,if a woman steps out of the house even for a purposeful mission, her virtue is automatically on the line due to gender issues! Viplav challenges the issue of denied equal opportunities on gender basis in many societies across the world ..viplav makes it clear to Dashrant , due to him he lets Asthana go! otherwise he would have killed him! Dashrant replies, if Viplav would have fought against the judge he would be the one to suffer defeat! but Viplav tells everyone that his dada ji might be intimidated by the judge not him!what ofjustice for a girls honour that Asthana defiled? Dashrant morally decadent and blind, scoffs what justice injustice does Viplav harp on about? he warns Viplav that the man is influential, and will eventually go to any lengths to prove Dhani to be the characterless one! that even Viplav himself will begin to be swayed by that! He reminds Viplav, dropping Dhani home ,returning her jhumka's all go in his favour and against Dhani!bua adds let it be..viplav is totally under this girls spell ,he fails to see anything beyond! Had it been some other man he would have kicked her out by now! but Viplav once again for the umpteenth time presses upon his family... abandon Dhani? its never going to happen and he puts a protective arm around her shoulders ! dadi suggests he'd best take Dhani to their room! its late.but Dashrant , drums in confirming to the way of the world as we have to show our face and live in society ..hence he needs to learn to abide by the custom and practices imposed by society by them ,hypocritically he adds in, he too is livid about his daughter in law being maligned. This only done so to bluff Viplav and win his ongoing trust! Dadi reiterates Viplav take Dhani and leave. Kanak continues seems Viplav is under the spell of a witch! As he only sees Dhani in the right! Dadi yet again bravely stands up for Dhani. whether they accept or not Dhani is a good soul!she fails to understand why everyone present here is against her!so the scene once again shows who are proDhani and who the anti Dhani lot are?
The expert commends the novice on her dirty game. Kamini gathers the applaud and confesses she set the class and Asthana up against Dhani to bring her low before Viplav and his families eyes but last minute somehow things backfired but she knows how to stand up again, after all resilience is a strength she taught her , Kamini tells Bua! In fact Kamini threatens Bua that she is the one who incited this all in her, led her to play this dirty dangerous game! But Bua backs off from Kamini! and tells her she wished to make her the bahu of this house, one who upholds the good name and reputation of Tirpathi family! not blemish it like she did by this whole sordid affair! So does Kamini lose her back up support from Bua too?
Some apologies and regrets from Dhani before Viplav..he reminds her it was she who mentioned that there is no room for questions, answers and explanations in their relationship... trust is upon which their bond hinges.He loves her and says if at all she wishes to make amends, then three magic words from his wife should do the trick! She is his wife in whose hair parting he fills with vermillion every single day.. but what if by perchance he misses to do it one day ,as life is unpredictable things are subject to change! its the way of the world here today ,tomorrow gone! Dhani fears his words, but Viplav talks about the use and permanence of knowledge ,learning and education! all things pass, but knowledge lasts within us .It survives and has the provision to extend itself and further more enrich our life with its lasting effect! Her education neither time ,nor malicious people can steal from her! this is Viplav's support he gives to his beloved wife in wake of all the recent gruelling experiences they have suffered.
no surprises.. Asthana pairs up with phool chand who'll do anything to make a few fast bucks!besides he was never a fan of dashrant.
They plan a robbery in Dashrant's house ,target sita mandir stash of gold donations.. a robbery really happens this time..the robber even knows where the loot is kept!
Another solid episode,tackiling bold subjects of middle class morality, gender discrimination in certain walks of life... and the best one.. education being a gem , once derived stays with a person for life... hamlet53 16.5.16
