Young boys are employed and exploited in embroidery factories cramped in small rooms, overworked and ill treated and many of them were rescued.
Young boys are also employed mostly in cracker making units often killed during explosions.
We see young boys employed in small hotels, retail and grocery shops, dhabas and often ill treated and beaten.
Boys are also expected to marry off their sisters, take care of their parents and in the process are made to discontinue their studies and dreams.
Young boys are also sodomised, exploited sexually.
Jagya was pampered by DS in a perverted fashion while he was often punished by his father. When Jagya wanted to pursue medical studies, he was not allowed by his dear DS. When Jagya chose Gauri, he was subjected to ostracisation without giving him even a miniscule chance or benefit of doubt because they thought a good balika bahu was a desirable wife too. They thought from anandi's point of view. If they had only sent anandi for higher studies and convinced her that her husband did not belong to her anymore.
And then Jagya was forced to consider remarriage and also with Sanchi unquestioningly because Sanchi belonged to anandi's sasra. When he chose Ganga, all hell broke loose.
Kundan's case is different. He knows only how women are treated, slapped and controlled. He is seeing how his parents give him special treatment. He is not at all punished for mistakes which should be part of unbringing. A perverted parenting. He has full freedom and that freedom is as long as he follows their way of living. If he starts showing the least humanity, he will be labelled as namard by his parents. He is also seeing how his bua's husband is being treated with contempt for being nice. Nimboli gets torture which may make her or break her while Kundan gets treatment which may make him an animal and a criminal. That is why juvenile boys and girls are treated leniently for crimes by judges.
