Among the many good things in show,
One which stands out very beautifully is the depiction of women
While it is the story of Rudra
His persona, his actions and his thoughts have been shaped by the feminine influencers in his life
And each woman is a force and a personality in her own
Not for Babbal the weepy bahu who preaches subservience
In the name of 'sanskar'
The most remarkable of course was Maimui
Strong, independent and spunky, a woman who lived life on her own terms
A lady who could be a mischievous child one moment and a guardian angel the next
Her friendship with Udiya baba was delightful
Her wisdom that she imparted to rudra was far more than what a formal schooling would have
Another equally strong force is Dadi
Like or hate her, you have to acknowledge that she is an Iron Lady
She does not mince her words and says what she means and means what she says
Rather than cave under the devastation wrecked by dalvesh and family, she went into yoganidra waiting for the time when she will be able to rebuild her live
No tears, no helpless pleas, this dadi is no pushover
Ab aayi Bari Apni Kat-a-hari ki, a wonderful name coined by happychappy!
A woman who played the scatterbrained gullible foreigner in India to the T
Is a mean fighter, and is intelligent bold and not afraid to speak her mind
About Thapariya mai - while not much is known about her back story
But this lady can terrify balivesh, then we know she's got the guts
But I am sure we will see more fireworks and thappads from her as we move along
About Ganga, we do not know enough to comment
And Maya - well, she's proved that she can hold her own too
And knows how to take tough decisions and stick to them
Both weak and strong at the same time, Maya is actually quite 'real'
I also want to mention Kuba's mom, a woman who was courageous in her own way
And showed as the agonizing reality and traumatic life of many among us
Who are trapped in abusive relationships
Unable to see a way out.
Hats off to team MAHAKUMBH, for not making a show about men go to war and women stay at home
Here women too are rakshaks and can fight as good any!
For showing the life of kuba's mom as an ugly reality without sermonizing or moralizing, or making any excuses, wrong was wrong
The fact that 'garudaship' is taken to be very gender independent is another reason to appreciate the CVs for!
The attitude of the makers also came out in the mother of shravan kumar - a woman who took a stand - sons are sons and must be forgiven no matter what and a woman's lot is to suffer - is not what this team seems to abide by- hats off of them
For showing women as strong independent people who make their own decisions...
Happy womens day !!!
