The channel claims, "Rishta Vohi, Soch Nai," inviting women from the younger as well as more educated strata to watch their shows because they will not be disappointed. It talks about strong women who take on the man's world and change it with their immaculate upbringing in the old ways, deeply rooted in culture and morals.
What this suggests is that evil only begins to sprout when we lose our way or grow distant from our culture and roots. Also if you are "modern" in any way it means you have no morals, and you stand for nothing really, and are as shallow as Arnav's pool.
Exhibit A: Lavanya Kashyap
A girl in her mid-twenties, living alone in an apartment which Arnav frequents for conjugal visits (or so we were lead to believe), she is well educated, has a high paying job, eats nothing but pasta (because that's what happens to rich people when they lose their way, they develop a disgusting taste for phus phus pusta), for all her independence and the fact that she grew up in England she can't cook to save her life, she doesn't want to get married nor does she want children.
She is a vamp, an air head who is nasty as long as she holds on to her modern ways. But when she genuinely tries to change and becomes Khushi's clone she becomes this really nice person not because she was always like that just forgot it in the rat race of the corporate world but because Khushi waved her magic wand and CHANGED her completely. Moral of the story, only hen you go back to your morals and culture will you ever be a good person, because that concept of good will towards man is alien to modern day atheists.
Munchy's Note: Marriage is not sacred; they break and sometimes become horrible relationships which slowly kill you but society will not hear of you breaking that sacred vow, you're in it for life. And live in relationships are not no strings attached one night stands; they are emotionally committed and when they break it hurts just as much as a divorce. So please do not make one better than the other because it was sanctioned by the gods so it MUST be better and don't belittle the other as a life of sin, because it is more than just sex outside of marriage. The only difference between the two is one is legally binding.
If couples don't want children it is not the end of the world. If modern day women don't ask you in a public gathering whether your husband goes down on you, and how it is so sad that you have never orgasmed and only do the missionary then you have no right to ask them why they aren't having any children and how they are somehow less human and not really completely women at all for choosing that path. It is a personal choice and none of your business.
Also I was recently told Lavanya didn't hold a candle to Khushi in beauty. It depends on your standards for beauty (tall, skinny, WHITE. Typical and whitewashed because your own skin will never be good enough). That's just sad on so many levels and extremely anti-feminist for a channel that promotes new thinking as well as a show that promotes Indian culture, and frankly not all Indian's are milk white and I think Lavanya should be applauded for thinking she's the bees knees with her super sexy tan skin that Caucasian women bake themselves in the sun for.
Overall her character had major depth, a level of understanding with the anti-hero that the protagonist still doesn't seem to display. Maybe it's because they came from the same world, maybe it's because the sex was awesome. Who knows. But she was one of the few characters I was really fond of. However she took a step back in feminism by changing herself for a man who treated her like shit, sending out a dual message, that the woman must always change for the man, and that the man would never fall for a woman who put out for him before marriage and would prefer the virgin bride because he respects her more further preaching that women are not expected to have high libidos, if they do it means they will wander and cheat while the dutiful virgin wife will never cheat because she doesn't have a taste or hankering for sex anyway.
You are free to tear this apart and troll, but I will not respond to the trolls. This is meant for a healthy discussion so please only respond if you know what feminism truly is. This will not be allowed to turn in to an ugly fight. Disagreements are welcome, ayivain comments for the sake of it are not.
