I have come across several posts where there has been some healthy arguments about the way Dadi behaves and the way Khushi responds to that behaviour. I havent created this post to argue either for or against India Forum members, but I only wrote this post to put across my point of view - not trying to me the morale police or anything. I know that I will undoubtly offend some of you so will apologize beforehand.
No matter what country you are in elders do take advantage of their age - they use it as an excuse the determine their authority and their opinions on the younger generation. But how you reply to that kind of behaviour or emitional blackmail is conpletely down to how you are raised and what your individual personality is. I can honestly say without hesitation that I will never raise my voice or speak back to elders who behave this way towards me. I might not agree with them but at the same time my upbringing comes into play with the way I handle those situations.
I will do eaxctly like Khushi does and not answer back but will show respect by being silent. Khushi first of all doesnt know Dadi and she knows that Dadi has taken a dislike towards her for some reason which is not clear as of yet. If Khushi is this situation starts to answer back or even reply negatively the situation will escalate. The best option is to stay silent and let either Nani, Arnav and Anjali deal with Dadi and her issues - which is what she is doing at the moment.
Like to finish with saying that just because Khushi is silent it doesnt mean that she is spineless - she is just trying to avoid the situation to go out of hand and also the fact that arguing with an elder goes against her nature and upbringing. She is trying to access the current situation and will deal with it in her own unique way.
