<font face="Comic Sans MS, Times, serif" color="#990000">Anyways to answer your Q, what is the criteria for one to categorize a person evil?. and how can you say Dutta aint evil?. Thats the problem yaar a person is grey and its the perespective which may show the peson in a certain light. So what if Anna is evil to us, there may be many ppl who adore him and love him?. Didnt u see how Subbu was sayng she got Anna after a lot of struggle?. Why will a woman struggle to get a evil man if she considers he is dil se bhi kala?. I somehow felt Subbu sees the goodness in the guy though he is 90 % evil, he is 10 % good too......... Now if we look at Dutta did u forget the woman who was taunting him at his shaadi?. She lost someone apna cuz of Dutta. There might be many such ppl who lost life cuz of Dutta, he himself agreed that he might have killed innocent ppl as part of his profession. So how can we categorize him not evil?. </font>

<font face="Comic Sans MS, Times, serif" color="#990000">We love him and want to see the good side of him ........ thats all. Anyways Iam all for it if Nakku can change a 90% evil person like Anna into human........... That will be a good leason for the on lookers and Dutta too , that war is not always won by weapon........ But then I may sound very naive even to think abt it that way taking into consideration Anna's kameenapan.......... but I believe that ppl can change and some moments do wonders in a person's life....... </font>

<font color="#990000"><font face="Comic Sans MS, Times, serif">Iam for whatever it takes for TaSha to unite....... but then if killing Anna is redundant , so let him be naa....... its good if he is left alone, he can come back as a changed man in Dutta's life when our Dutta ends up in trouble cuz of BH......... Good deeds never go unpaid </font>😊.</font>
<font color="#990000">To forgive is divine ......... I believe in it 😊</font>
Hey Anu,
This is not such an easy topic, is it? 😆 We could get into a seemingly endless metaphysical discussion over what constitutes evil or not, and still not come up with a true definition.
So I will address your points regarding Anna.
What criteria for evil? My gosh, evil is about shades of gray, just as goodness is. But at the most superficial level in Anna's case, there is a
delight in others' suffering. Not just those that are directly involved but those who are innocent as well. There is a
sadism,
lack of remorse, no ethical standards that even remotely resemble those of society at the most basic level. Evil is hurting, taking the lives of people, innocent and otherwise, without
a just cause. (I'm going to get beaten up this latter point; what is a "just" cause?). EG killing someone who is about to hurt or kill an innocent person would be one just cause in my mind.
Why would Subhlaxmi want Anna if uska dil bhi kala tha? I could not answer that. There are many reasons ranging from the Kala principle (power, control over a man) or truly love. Perhaps there is some goodness in Anna. But to this day, I have not seen it in anything. Not his words, his actions, his memories, Subhlaxmi's recollections. The sadism is too prevalent that even some goodness may be washed away.
Is/was Dutta evil? Yes. He had remorse, guilt, but yes, he engaged in acts that made him evil. Now the question is
where is Dutta now? Is he acting sadistically (well to Naku perhaps), does he get a thrill, a surge of pleasure from watching people mocked, suffering, and dying? That I do not think Dutta is. There is hope in Dutta, that we agree on. It was there before Naku too. She brought it to the forefront of his life. Subhlaxmi could theoretically "correct" Anna's defects, but his level of enjoyment from sadistic, disgusting things makes me doubt how much you can change him. He in my mind is like a serial killer...they are born with something loose in their heads, some research has even borne this out. Good luck trying to change that depth of evil.
Is evil changeable? Can someone turn from bad to good? Of course. But it depends on the person, their history, their genes, existence of some moral compass, god, so many things. So can Subhlaxmi change Anna, as Naku did Dutta? I think possibly, but not likely. Dutta and Anna as I mentioned are very different. For one, there was a moral compass, the other does not have a shred of it.
This is kind of where my head is at on this topic. 😛
