With due respect to the TM, I completely disagree with this different kind of love and care for daughter . You don't need to showcase your love, it shows on its own.
Rawat is a delusional man. For him the world revolves around the Indian Army and mountaineering only. Nothing else matters. He is like a Tangawallah's horse who knows to move in the straight direction only.
I have high regard for our men in the army. Despite this what we need to remember is that a strong nation needs support from all its citizens; with or without uniform. A strong army assures the security of the state but a prosperous state ensures a good security system. A good national and international policy will decide the fate of the army. This whole cycle is inter connected. For Rawat this doesn't exist. I understand he is upset that the family will not have another hero from the army but what about other security forces in India ? What about an IPS officer ? What about joining the RAW or say the CBI ? We don't have women there ?
Love and care for his daughter could have been understood if he was present when his girl topped the university exams. He thinks its nothing khas to top any university exam. She is but an ordinary girl and therefore the next day her marriage is finalized. Why can't his girl opt for higher studies or go for an IAS exam ? Marriage to whom ? Yes another army man and also in an army family. One army uniform decides if the character of the groom ?
What dangers is he talking about ? Is it anyways different for sons ? Anjali is not the first girl to do it. Her father seemingly keeps no track about the women mountaineers in India. FOr a qualified man like him its pity that he is not even well informed. He said he would have supported his son in this mission. No, its not caring about her. Its simply pulling her down. He asked if others know his daughter more than him. Unfortunately he knows nothing about his daughter. Abhayankar, who have climbed the Everest 6 six times choose Anjali as his team mate and here a man who is supposedly a good mountaineer and possibly would have summit the Everest says this girl is not worthy of this job. Why and what qualifies him ? She has topped NIM too. Why this caring father doesn't tell her that beta come back and I will train you further before you do the final expedition ?No he calls her to tell her that he will forgive her if she returns and gets married now. Why is he concerned anyways ? Its not because whether she will survive or not. Its because if she fails people will blame him.
JImmedari khatam, umeed khatam after marriage ? He just wants to give away his daughter. Why fathers don't have responsibility after marriage? Fulfilling needs ,feeding children and marrying them off are not the only responsibilities of a father. If that was it then people would have given away their children to the orphanages and paid for their needs every month. Nothing excuses personal touch and personal touch doesn't means hugging your daughter. It means personal connection. It means being interactive with your children. Rawat fails here miserably.
He is also completely delusional about what strength means. Was Gandhi an army man who fought the British ? In Gandhi's words strength doesn't comes from physical capacity.
Rawat actually is a true representation of those men in our country who think women are made to bear the male child for them. Forget about his daughter, what about his wife ? Does he care to know what she thinks ? He would finalize the marriage on his own. His wife has no say in this matter ?
To be frank he can even lose his uniform if his chauvinism is reported. He should be left alone and the wife should have choose to part ways by now.
