I guess Colonel's decision to choose Aakash over Anjali was the hottest and most controversial topic discussed in this forum. I was the one who started that topic is Abhayankar a good leader because his feelings for Anjali as a daughter overcame his decision as a leader on who is better suited. The need to protect her was utmost in his mind when he took the decision. Would say an act of chivalry which most men do. Whether to their daughter's, sister's, wives or friends. It is not a bad thing, but too much of it constraing a woman's choice is the first step towards discrimination is what I have always felt.
Now coming to the point what actually differentiates colonel and Jagat. I would say yesterday's epi clearly differentiated them. Anjali asks Colonel whether he excluded her because she is a girl. Colonel tells that the real reason was her father asked him not to take her, but he also accepts that her being a girl did matter in his decision making. What I liked about it was he accepted the fact that her gender was a fact that came while making the decision. He accepts old habits die hard. He has to keep himself updated. He has to understand the change. Also we need to see that colonel rightly criticized Anjali's method of coming up without telling anyone, but he appreciated her intent, talent and allowed her to come along with them. He is a man who is willing to change, whose ego doesn't cloud his decision.
Now on the other side look at Jagat. While on one hand colonel is able to appreciate what Anjali has done this man's ego is unable to take the fact his daughter is defying the notions he has always held for woman. He cant find happiness in the fact that his daughter was responsible for saving 7 lives. Jagat ideally should be on cloud nine as Reena is announcing if the rescue mission is successful Anjali can be recommended for President's Gallantry award. Which father wont be proud of such an achievement of his ward whether his son or daughter. But what is Jagat doing. He is nit picking on how Anjali dared to disobey him, colonel and Khanna. From where she learnt to do such things. She was a quiet girl. Not a single word of appreciation come from this man for the feat his daughter achieved. Instead he blasts his wife for her negligence and allowing his daughter to go disobeying him. This man does not want to change. He just want to hold on to things he believe. If anything wrong happens point fingers at someone and escape😡. For a better society it is men like Jagat who needs to be cured of their disease.
