Ali's attitude

I'm not a big fan of anyone in the house, nor a supporter of any of the groups. When Ali came into the house as captain, he brought in some much-needed discipline and routine. And I liked that he was polite but firm with everyone, clearly stated what he wanted done.

Since then, like a tinpot little dictator, he has started enjoying his extra powers so much. He acts like a tyrant, and especially with the girls, I am sorry to say. This has been debated elsewhere in this forum, and I'm trying hard to be fair, but his behaviour is horrible.

He treats the men as equals and with affection as friends. Even when they argue back to him, he tries to convince them by using reason.

On the other hand, he wants implicit obedience from the girls, he brooks no debate or discussion with them. Are they his children or slaves? Don't they deserve an explanation of his stand? What a paternalistic attitude? And he talks of the girls' attitudes all the time. What about his own? He is captain, not God !!

The men, especially Puneet and Pritam - behave all hero-worshipping and good little boys in front of him. "Aap bilkul sahi ho" and all that stuff. Mock him behind his back because they too are chafing under his dictatorship but don't have the courage to speak up.

Respect to Praneet and Arya and Sushant for trying to reason with him in the face of his massive resistance and unwillingness to listen to any different opinions from his own.

I think he's like Salman. He learned it from him. Respecting women isn't in his books. let alone trying to have a discussion with them. The way he talked to Diandra was absoultely disgusting. The forum members here are a bit too weird for my taste, esp when it comes to "band baajoing." I don't like that term anymore. You aren't band baajoing if you aren't talking to someone in the same manners, instead instigating fights. He's picked more on women than men. Have you noticed how he allocated duties to cleaning bathroom and stuff to women? Looks like his parents might have taught him that women belong in cleaning and breeding.

He's thinking is totally backwards. I hope Karishma, Diandra, Soni, and Manisha stand up.

The men are bunch of cowards.
