I have been thinking about Arnav’s phobia about having children. We agree it has something to do with Anjali. I think the baby somehow died either natural or not. Arnav tried to save it but was unable to. Somehow the villagers played into the death of either the baby, Anjali or both which is why he hates that place so much.
After the baby died, was killed or through inaction died, Anjali committed suicide. Something happened that he tried to stop, was prevented from stopping or inadvertently caused that he never told anyone. And, his father blamed him and the family was torn apart.
Hence, Chote always do the right thing and his terrible guilt which has clouded his life and is now tearing it apart.
My thoughts which seem plausible until we know more.

I fooled around and was able to finally get it to transfer. I am not a big fan of every little thing being copied and pasted to each response. It takes up a lot of space on a thread and if it’s long not all of it often pertains to the response given.
