All YHMians,
If the whole Parmeet track is to send a message to all us women out there, to stand up for ourselves no matter what and to speak up against the perpetrator of such a horrendous crime, they why do they want to show that Ishu's family doesn't believe in her?
I mean, most women who face such horrible situations - esp. when a family member is involved find it so hard to speak up. In India, in most cases even though it is the man committing a sexual crime, the woman is held at fault. After such an incident, the victim is looked at differently by the society especially in Indian villages where there is a lack of education.
I cannot tolerate that kind of society that always favors the male - and if these serials have to convey some message to women to speak up - they should show that if they DID people around them will trust them and it won't be so hard on them and it will make them feel better.
If they show the women folk in the family disbelieving the victim, how is that encouraging women to speak up. The victims have suffered at the hands of a rapist, and the least they can expect is support from family.
I understand this is a drama, but they should really have shown (at least toshiji) believing in Ishita. To maintain a story line, they could have shown toshi's trust in Ishita in private or some such thing.
And now to think that they are going to throw her out of the house - women who get influenced by TV are not being given the right message. They should be taught again and again that if they speak up against such men, they will have full support of people around them...It's one thing to produce "proof" but there should be an implicit trust in the victim at the very least if the family knows the victim to be credible! ..
What you guys think?
