Let me share a wonderful post reemirocks has made about Ruk
I can't even blame Mahamanga entirely for instigating Ruqaiya. Had she not made herself mentally vulnerable enough, then Mahamanga's "sautan ka ghar tudwao" and "audha bachao" lectures would not have affected her a bit. But then in this case I would definitely say its 50-50. If Mahamanga is to be blamed for instigating her, then Ruqaiya has to be blamed for getting easily manipulated and not using her brains! People hear what they want to hear, see what they want to see and believe what they want to believe. And so is with Ruqaiya who only wants to listen to Mahamanga. She says with pride that she has control over Jalal's mind but I guess in that process she lost her own!
Be it Jalal, Gulbadan phuphi, Salima Begum or Hamida Banu Begum, everyone did advice her. Each one of them was talking sense but what caught her attention is Mahamanga's nonsense. This happens when you talk sense to a person whose mind is preoccupied with jealousy, arrogance, rudeness, insecurity and a hell lot of pride. Who says only love is blind? Those who think so, please add jealousy and insecurity to it. Insecurities have the ability to shape and mould our minds to live with everything that's bad. Jealousy?? What should I say about this? You can be the moon and still be jealous of stars. Its all on you. Those jealous are troublesome to others but torment to themselves. It contains more of self love than selfless love
