The sole purpose of this post is to answer certain allegations logically. As I hate to create a ruckus on a forum friend's posts, I am creating a separate one. Also it promises to be long..so please bear with me. Again, as it is in answer to some points, it might feel like I am jumping from point to point...with no correlation...or context...This post it totally in defense of Rudra, those who don't support, please don't give me or my writings your time and patience, you will not find them worth.
- First and foremost, the only purpose of fake warrant was to scare Tejawat, and make him act hasty, so he makes mistakes, which he did. Rudra did not single handedly kill the entire baraat, neither did he start the firing. The terrorists (yes, it was not a baraat btw, they were hard core arm smugglers and terrorists), fired the first shot, and armed forces do not stand there like sitting ducks, ready to be shot at. When any agency starts hostile firing on men in uniform, they defend and they retaliate. They are our defenders, so firing back is a logical response. Hopefully, we all accept that. And a reminder, Rudra was not the first one to retaliate too. Hopefully, we all accept that. Yes, people died on both the sides, as happens in an encounter. Rudra killed some, who were all ganging up on him cruelly (we all saw the show..right??) So once and for all, he did not brutally kill an entire baraat, he and his unit were shot at first and they defended themselves leading to casualties.
- Secondly, when handling Paro, Rudra was not out to make friends. He was dealing with a suspect, in a case of arms smuggling across border, which hopefully we all know is a huge crime. A suspect who was also a prime witness, with whose help he was trying to break a ring of mass murderers dealing in lethal weapons for the past 18 years. Just want to point out, that such criminals, suspected of such crimes, are meted out various harsh and inhuman treatments in real life. Torture, rape, molestation, sodomy...just being a few unpalatable examples.The armed forces, any wing, any nation, have their own way to dealing with such human scum. Yes, human right activists have been struggling with issues for years, but if we want a realist show, we have to digest reality, however bitter it may taste. And Rudra's treatment of Paro was nothing, nothing at all, compared to real life.
-Paro by her own will returned back to Rudra's place, with a challenge in mind...dekhenge!! So essentially when she threw the gauntlet she was ready for whatever came her way, right?? And yes he was breaking a crucial witness here, and by hook or crook is expected from him.It was part of his duty, which not only means protecting witnesses, also breaking hostile witnesses. And he used whatever means he had handy. Would ppl have preferred if other, more physically cruel means, were used?? And Paro could have walked out any time or asked for help!! And no, no one can believe that Rudra would kill an entire village??? Really?? An entire village?? KCM even offered to help, but she said she trusted Rudra more than her. Go figure!! And I don't remember Rudra touching her at inappropriate or private places, or molesting her...He if anything was very very clear about his intentions, leaving neither in doubt.
-The wedding rituals...well if a marriage is planned, rituals follow. First, making her his fiance...not his idea. Getting married ...not his idea either. He just tried to take advantage of the situation. He did not want or make the charade public, if anything he was totally against it for safety reasons. He even asked Paro not to go for the jhaankhi...the girl had her own reasons to defy. And again he did not led her to believe that it was out of love, the deal was very clear from his side.
-How do we think hostile witnesses give their statements...happily and voluntarily?? Not under duress, or pressure...?? No tactics are required, no bargaining, no immunities offered?? No further comments needed here.
- I can say the same for Paro..right?? She too went ahead with the marriage plans, when she could have done something...anything, like taking KCM's help, or contacting someone for help, instead of resorting to prayers only.
-When Dilsher was attacked, Rudra asked multiple times (not once, thrice if my memory serves me right) from an eye witness, who was totally neutral, and confirmed. He also had other witnesses to support and corroborate the story. The question here...Rudra could have taken legal action against Paro. Could have filed a complaint against her, accused her of trying to kill her father, have her arrested. He did nothing, just accused her, and didn't take action except ask her to leave him and his family alone.
-Rudra is unbalanced?? TIme and again I have seen forum members accuse him of being unbalanced cause of his past. How?? How in the world does an imbalanced human rise to the rank of a Major and also win awards for bravery?? Isn't he the guy who ended an 18 year old arm smuggling racket?? Isn't he the one who stood like a rock in front of Tejawat and refused to bow under pressure?? Isn't he the same guy, who rescued a beautiful girl from being gang raped the first time he saw her?? And the one who sent not one but two beautiful girls back home honorably in spite of Aman's opinion. Or may be he is unstable, so he should have allowed the same beautiful girl to be shot by her so called hubby...good riddance?? Are we talking about he same guy, who took a slap for a beautiful girl, and tended to her painful foot?? Just a reminder there are plenty of rude and short tempered men out there...for that matter even women. Temper and rudeness does not make a man insane, if such were the case quite a few of us would be admitted in an asylum đ
And we all have different definitions for crazy...well I can call some other characters delusional, un realist, self centered, living in a dream world, obsessive, ...but I won't.
-Rudra washed his hands off Paro after the Bapu Sa incident. He asked that another officer take over Paro's safety obligations. Paro refused point blank and decided to stick with him.
Rudra in essence has always saved, rescued Paro, not on one but on several occasions, not only from certain death but from also rape and human trafficking. Don't see how he deserves punishment ?? Just desserts at that??
I doubt if anyone here thinks that Rudra gives men a bad name, yes, I do think that most women are not like Paro here...and that is a different story. About Paro...she is getting what she insisted on, and asked for publicly, and don't they say be careful about what you ask and pray for!!
Once again...I hate to take sides. But if a character is openly and blatantly painted negative, I will rise to defend. Again, tomorrow if someone makes an openly unjust and negative post about Paro, my just responses will be forthcoming. Live and let live in peace !!
