Victim of circumstances or mindset

Sakshi seems to be a victim in her early childhood. In course of time she turned into a perpetrator of atrocities on innocent people. Same was the argument of Nirbhaya's rapists who also lived a life of poverty and deprivation, the juvenile was victimised by his relatives. This treatment must have made them insensitive and they indulged in the rape and murder. Many human right activists want us to view those rapists with empathy than revenge.

Even Payal and Nitya were victims. But they did not become perpetrators, killing and torturing innocent people. Durga wants that victims should serve their term in jail for what they have done.

Poverty or riches does not generally make much difference as many rich people also indulge in sadistic activities. Shaurya is one such example. He has riches, loving parents and other indulgences. Yet he turned out a criminal while Dev did not. Karan is another example.It all boils down to mindset.

Sakshi loves her son and she is ready to murder, mutilate, torture anyone who tries to jail him. and Rajnath also wants to do the same if someone harms his business interests.

Suchitra also loves her son and she wants to fight the case properly and also pray to devimaa.
Durga is ready to indulge in deceit to achieve her ends. Dev does not hesitate to join a criminal like Mathur to get justice.

Each to his or her own.

A crime is a crime and let under whatever circumstance it happens punishment has to be there. But the quantum of punishment varies in each case, that's the point.

everyone has a choice in my opinion..there are millions of people who live thru hell every single day..only some of them turn to crime..there are others who, despite having a secure environment and loving families show traces of evil..while i can sympathise with the child sakshi was, the choices she made as an adult are her own and she has to pay for them..same goes for rajnath..in fact, rajnath belongs to the eilte class, had all material comforts, and going by suchitra and dev's reminiscing of arnab, a very loving brother..what excuse does he have for being the rotten criminal tht he is?? shaurya is the worst kind of scum, yet kangana, though spoilt, is essentially innocent..all make choices and live with them..because u were a victim as a child does not give u the licence to victimise others as an adult..i dnt agree with that, no matter what human rights exponents say..

When a tiger or lion becomes a maneater, it is usually put to sleep or shifted to some Zoo. Though the animal might have become maneater by accident. When a dog is infected with rabies, it is also put to sleep. The larger good of the society is taken into consideration in these situations. Similarly I feel rapists should not get lighter punishments just because they are minors. When the crime is monstrous, the punishment should be commensurate with the crime, not with the age. Age is an artifical barrier decided by some individuals. The minor age limit maybe 12, 14 or 16 or even 18.
IMO.

Sakshi was orphan. Nirbhaya rapists did have families.

Because Sakshi is being depicted as the planner and executor of all deeds most of the time. They are givng her screenspace over Rajnath. And Raima comes occasionally. They have not shown Raima story properly. We know her as social butterfly, love for luxurious life and in love with Rajnath.
And the actress is living the role of Sakshi. It is a tribute to her acting skills that she is the most discussed and analysed one.

Oh?

IMO, Sakshi will always be the biggest villain inspite of any excuses offered in her defence. Her crimes wont get any discounts because others also had their own share of crimes. Two wrongs cannot make one right.

Yes, Rajnath and Raima are also equal villains. And so is Shaurya. Why Shaurya turned into such a scum? Did the mother try to discipline him from the beginning or mollycoddled him endlessly thereby making him a spoilt brat? Yes, mothers have a greater role in shaping their children's lives as men are hopeless in this respect. IMO.
