i cent per cent agree with you...
in fact, when the serial had started, Sia was the female protagonist against Ammaji the antagonist who happened to be the mukhiya of Veerpur and responsible for the conservative mindset of the society and female infanticide and foeticide in the area.
then, love happened between the lead pair..Raghav and Sia..what followed was a series of revelations that the female protagonist had been trapped into false love by the antagonist's son.........her wings had been clipped...she and her family were humiliated and then, we saw her returning back to the Haveli to seek revenge/teach them a lesson with a big Tilak on her forehead...can anybody forget that episode...no...a big no............and our expectation levels further rose, that apart from getting the kasba rid of those unjust practices like female infanticide, she had another goal to her life...to bring Ammaji to books......
and that is it.....
that was the last time...probably, we saw a strong protagonist....after that..the downward trend started....
her acts/dialogues were usually confined to simple sentences like "Ab kya hoga Chachi" (i think the one she must have used at least a 100 times till now)......which showed that her strong vision had started to blur and that she was becoming weaker and weaker with a loss of sense of judgement.......
incidents like DM, Avataar's remarriage, Sonali's coming into the scene further showed us a character that had become far meeker than what we had witnessed in the initial episodes...
and then, she was completely sidelined........today she probably shares the same screen space time as the rest of the ladies in the serial be it Santosh, Sunehri, Jhoomar or Rangili....in fact , these days, Sheela chachi appears much wiser and stronger with clear concepts...
yes, it is not Sia's fault, but whoever (read the Creatives here) has destroyed her character is the one to be held guilty.......she was this fiery soul who wanted to educate the illiterate women, raise her voice even in front of the local MP, fight with Ammaji for justice, is simply shown to be doing household chores (mostly in the kitchen or drying clothes 😉 ) and shedding a tear or two....saying MERA TOH DIL Ghabra raha hai chachi.......
no doubt, the present Amba Track is very interesting...even i dont want to miss a single episode these days.....but does this mean...that to fight hooliganism and conservative malpractices (read Ammaji and her clan's ideology), only a dacoit's power (read arms, ammunition, power, kidnapping here) can be of use...Education cannot fight against injustice.......nor can it change the mindset of the people? rather these very educated people have time and again been shown falling into traps laid for them (be it Raghav's second marriage, Sonali's feelings to fight the black magic, Sia's superstitions like the Kundali etc.)........
so only dacoits...who wield power can fight...the others ... the educated ones like Sia should lay their arms (of knowledge and vision) to rest..............they are of no use...
anyways...why to apply so much of mind...when the simple funda to watch and enjoy serials is to forget logical thinking..........dont apply your brain, if you want to enjoy a serial...just swim with the present wave....and believe me the present wave of Amba (whether it is accepted by my mind or not) is really enjoyable...just flow with the current...........you will love it......leave aside all thoughts of Sia and her capabilites and dreams.........what Amba is doing to Ammaji and her sons, and to the serial at large is worth watching....it wont be wrong to say that it has revitalized the almost dead story suddenly....giving it a new lease of life........
Kudos to Amba...and let Sia take rest.....(till the CVs want her to)......
